Connections
• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic
components, turn off the power for all components. Before
turning the power on or off for all components, set all
volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the volumes
of all components at their minimum levels and gradually
raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to
set the desired listening level.
Maintenance
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not
use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-
impregnated wiping cloths.
Handling caution
• Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the instrument.
• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into
the gaps on the panel or keyboard. If this happens, turn off
the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the
AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualified
Yamaha service personnel.
• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the
instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.
• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the
instrument, and do not use excessive force on the buttons,
switches or connectors.
• Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a
high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause
permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss
or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost
or destroyed.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.
Even when the power switch is in the "STANDBY" position, electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level.
When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet.
Make sure to discard used batteries according to local regulations.
Backup battery
• This instrument has a built-in lithium backup battery. When
you unplug the power cord from the AC outlet, the internal data
is retained. However, if the backup battery fully discharges,
this data will be lost. When the backup battery is running
low, the LCD indicates "!BatteryLo." In this case,
immediately save the data to a Memory Card
(SmartMedia), then have qualified Yamaha service
personnel replace the backup battery.
Saving data
Saving and backing up your data
• Any edited data (see pages 33 and 40) that is left un-stored
will be lost if you turn off the power to the instrument. Save the
data to the USER memory (see page 50).
• USER memory data (see page 20) is retained when the
power is turned off, as long as the backup battery retains a
charge. However, the data could be lost due to malfunction
or incorrect operation. Save important data to a Memory
Card (SmartMedia).
Backing up the Memory Card (SmartMedia)
• To protect against data loss through media damage, we
recommend that you save your important data onto two
Memory Cards (SmartMedia).
