NOTICE

To avoid the possibility of malfunction/ damage to the
product, damage to data, or damage to other property,
follow the notices below.
 Handling
• Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo
equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices.
Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio may generate noise.
When you use the instrument along with an application on
your iPhone or iPad, we recommend that you set that device's
"Airplane Mode" to "ON" and then the Wi-Fi setting to "ON"
in order to avoid noise caused by communication.
• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations,
or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a
heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of
panel disfiguration, damage to the internal components or
unstable operation. (Verified operating temperature range:
5° – 40°C, or 41° – 104°F.)
• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the
instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.
 Maintenance
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft and dry/slightly
damp cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, alcohol,
cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.
• During extreme changes in temperature or humidity,
condensation may occur and water may collect on the surface
of the instrument. If water is left, the wooden parts may
absorb the water and be damaged. Make sure to wipe any
water off immediately with a soft cloth.
• When cleaning the bench, use a soft and dry cloth (or, if
necessary, one that is slightly damp). Do not use paint
thinners, solvents, alcohol, cleaning fluids, or chemical-
impregnated wiping cloths.
 Saving data
• Some of the data of this instrument (page 92) and the Song
data saved to the internal memory of this instrument
(page 49) are retained when the power is turned off. However,
the saved data may be lost due to some failure, an operation
mistake, etc. Save the Song data to a USB flash drive or an
external device such as a computer (page 69). Before using a
USB flash drive, make sure to refer to page 68.
• To protect against data loss through USB flash drive damage,
we recommend that you save your important data onto spare
USB flash drive or an external device such as a computer as
backup data.
