CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or
others, or damage to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited
to, the following:
• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend
or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk
on, trip over, or roll anything over it.
• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the
cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.
• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower
sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet.
• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used for extended periods of time,
or during electrical storms.
• 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.
• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sun-
light, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to
the internal components.
• Do not use the instrument near other electrical products such as televisions, radios, or speakers, since this
might cause interference which can affect proper operation of the other products.
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents,
cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Also, 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.
• Take care that the key cover does not pinch your fingers, and do not insert a finger or hand in the key cover
gap.
• Never insert or drop paper or metallic or other objects between the slits of the key cover and the keyboard.
If this happens, immediately turn off the power and remove the electric plug from the outlet and have the
instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Do not place the instrument against a wall (allow at least 3 cm/one-inch from the wall), since this can cause
inadequate air circulation, and possibly result in the instrument overheating.
• Read carefully the attached documentation explaining the assembly process. Failure to assemble the
instrument in the proper sequence might result in damage to the instrument or even injury.
• 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 phy-
sician.
