Taking Care of Your PortaTone

Your PortaTone will give you years of playing pleasure if you follow the
simple rules given below:
Location
Do not expose the instrument to the following
conditions to avoid deformation, discoloration, or
more serious damage.
• Direct sunlight (e.g. near a window).
• High temperatures (e.g. near a heat source, out-
side, 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.
• A power adaptor, if used, should be unplugged
from the AC outlet if the instrument is not to be
used for an extended period of time.
• Unplug the power adaptor during electric storms.
• Avoid plugging the power adaptor into the same
AC outlet as appliances with high power con-
sumption, 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 re-
lated devices OFF prior to connecting or discon-
necting audio and MIDI cables.

Handling and Transport
• Never apply excessive force to the controls, con-
nectors 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 instru-
ment.
• Physical shocks caused by dropping, bumping, or
placing heavy objects on the instrument can re-
sult in scratches and more serious damage.
Cleaning
• Clean the cabinet and panel with a dry soft cloth.
• A slightly damp cloth may be used to remove
stubborn grime and dirt.
• Never use cleaners such as alcohol or thinner.
• Avoid placing vinyl objects on top of the instru-
ment (vinyl can stick to and discolor the surface).
Electrical Interference
• This instrument contains digital circuitry and
may cause interference if placed too close to ra-
dio or television receivers. If this occurs, move
the instrument further away from the affected
equipment.
Service and Modification
• The PSR-510 contains no user serviceable parts.
Opening it or tampering with it in anyway can
lead to irreparable damage and possibly electric
shock. Refer all servicing to qualified YAMAHA
personnel.
YAMAHA is not responsible for damage caused by improper handling or operation.
