Yamaha FX310A Owner's Manual

ELECTRIC
ACOUSTIC GUITAR
Owner's Manual
Thank you for choosing a Yamaha electric-acoustic guitar.
In order to make the most of the advanced features and
performance provided by your guitar, please read this
manual carefully before using the instrument.
PRECAUTIONS
The output jack is an EIAJ-standard 1/4" phone jack. Be sure to use
an appropriate connection cable.
Always set the VOLUME control to "0" when plugging in or
unplugging the connection cable.
The battery check indicator (BATT.) will light briefly when a plug is
inserted or removed from the output jack. This is normal and does not
indicate a malfunction.
The built-in preamplifier is automatically turned on when a plug is
inserted into the output jack. When not using the instrument, or when
playing it without amplification, be sure to remove the plug from the
output jack so that the preamplifier power is turned off.
Also, even when the power is switched off, the system consumes a small
amount of power for the tuner standby mode. If the instrument is not
going to be used for an extended period of time, we recommend that the
battery be removed in order to avoid power consumption or leakage.

USING THE SOUND HOLE COVER

Feedback often occurs when controls are boosted on the electric acoustic
guitar to match the volume of other instruments when playing in a band.
When the instrument is used under the conditions described above, the
Sound Hole Cover should be inserted into the sound hole.
With the Sound Hole Cover in place, feedback is effectively reduced.
The guitar is equipped with an A4=440Hz standard pitch tuner. The
tuner's circuitry is independent from the guitar's output circuit so
switching the tuner ON/OFF will have no affect on sound output.
