Precautions - Yamaha QS300 Owner's Manual

Precautions

(PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE PROCEEDING!!)
4
Location
Keep the instrument away from locations where it is likely to be exposed to high
temperatures (such as direct sunlight) or humidity. Also avoid locations which
are subject to excessive dust accumulation or vibration which could cause me-
chanical damage.
Power Supply
Avoid plugging the instrument into the same AC outlet as appliances with high
power consumption, such as electric heaters or ovens. Also avoid using multi-
plug adaptors since these can result in reduced sound quality and possibly
damage.
MAKE SURE POWER IS OFF WHEN MAKING OR REMOVING
CONNECTIONS
To prevent damage to the instrument and other connected equipment, always
turn off the power prior to connecting or disconnecting cables. Also, turn the
power off when the instrument is not in use, and disconnect the power cord
during electric storms.
MIDI CABLES
When connecting the QS300 to other MIDI equipment, be sure to use only high-
quality cables made especially for MIDI data transmission. Also, avoid using
cables longer than 15 meters, since long cables can result in data errors.
HANDLE THE INSTRUMENT WITH CARE
Although the instrument has been constructed to withstand the rigors of normal
use for optimum sturdiness and reliability, avoid subjecting it to strong physical
shocks (such as dropping or hitting it). Since the QS300 is a precision-made
electronic device, also avoid applying excessive force to the various controls.
When moving the instrument, first unplug the power adaptor and all other cables
to prevent damage to cords and jacks. Always unplug cables by gripping the
plug firmly, not by pulling on the cable.
CLEAN WITH A SOFT, DRY CLOTH
Never use solvents such as benzine or thinner to clean the instrument, since
these will damage the cabinet finish or dull the keys. Wipe clean with a soft,
dry cloth. If necessary, use a soft, clean, slightly moistened cloth — making
sure to wipe the case off again with a dry cloth.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE
Avoid using the unit near televisions, radios or other equipment generating
electromagnetic fields. Proximity to such equipment may cause the unit to
malfunction, and may generate interference noise in the other appliance as well.
Data Backup
The QS300 contains a special long-life battery that retains the contents of its
internal memory (User Voice data and System data) even when the power is
turned OFF. The backup battery should last for several years. When the backup
battery needs to be replaced "Battery Low" will appear on the display when the
