Precautions
Your QY8 will give you years of reliable service if you follow the simple
rules given below:
Location
Do not expose the instrument to the following conditions to avoid defor-
mation, discoloration, or more serious damage.
• Direct sunlight (e.g. near a window).
• High temperatures (e.g. near a heat source, outside, or in a car during the daytime).
• Excessive humidity.
• Excessive dust.
• Strong vibration.
Power Supply
• Turn the power switch OFF when the instrument is not in use.
• If you use an AC power adaptor — the QY8 requires an optional Yamaha PA-1B or
PA-3 AC Power Adaptor — unplug the adaptor from the AC outlet if the instrument
is not to be used for an extended period of time.
• Unplug the AC power adaptor during electric storms.
• Avoid plugging an AC power adaptor used with the QY8 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.
Turn Power OFF When Making Connections
• To avoid damage to the instrument and other devices to which it is connected (a
sound system, for example), turn the power switches of all related devices OFF prior
to connecting or disconnecting audio and MIDI cables.
Handling and Transport
• Never apply excessive force to the controls, connectors or other parts of the
instrument.
• Always unplug cables by gripping the plug firmly, not by pulling on the cable.
• Disconnect all cables before moving the instrument.
• Physical shocks caused by dropping, bumping, or placing heavy objects on the
instrument can result in scratches and more serious damage.
