manufactured specifically for the supply voltage in the area where
they are to be sold. If you should move, or if any doubt exists about
the supply voltage in your area, please contact your dealer for
supply voltage verification and (if applicable) instructions. The
required supply voltage is printed on the name plate. For name
plate location, please refer to the graphic found in the Special
Message Section of this manual.

This product may be equipped with a polarized plug (one
blade wider than the other). If you are unable to insert the plug into
the outlet, turn the plug over and try again. If the problem persists,
contact an electrician to have the obsolete outlet replaced. Do NOT
defeat the safety purpose of the plug.

adapters. Do NOT connect this type of product to any power sup-
ply or adapter other than one described in the owners manual, on
the name plate, or specifically recommended by Yamaha.

of any kind. The use of an extension cord is not recommended! If
you must use an extension cord, the minimum wire size for a 25'
cord (or less) is 18 AWG. NOTE: The smaller the AWG number,
the larger the current handling capacity. For longer extension
cords, consult a local electrician.
