Precautions - Yamaha SY85 Owner's Manual

Precautions

4
Location
Do not expose the instrument to the following conditions to avoid deforma-
tion, 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.
• The power supply cord should be unplugged from the AC outlet if the
instrument is not to be used for an extended period of time. (Reconnecting
AC power will re-initialize all settings. As a result, user memory will be
erased.)
• Unplug the instrument during electric storms.
• Avoid plugging the instrument into the same AC outlet as appliances with
high power consumption, such as electric heaters or ovens. Also avoid using
multi-plug adapters 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 con-
nected (a sound system, for example), turn the power switches of all related
devices OFF prior to connecting or disconnecting audio and MIDI cables.
MIDI Connections
• When connecting the SY85 to MIDI equipment, be sure to use high-quality
cables made especially for MIDI data transmission.
• Avoid MIDI cables longer than about 15 meters. Longer cables can pick up
electrical noise that can causes data errors.
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.
• Physcal shocks caused by dropping, bumping, or placing heavy objects on
the instrument can result in scratches and more seious damage.
