- Do not tamper with or disassemble batteries.

- Do not dispose of batteries in fire.

- Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are not designed to

be charged.

- Keep the batteries separate from metallic objects such as

necklaces, hairpins, coins, and keys.

- Use the specified battery type (page 40) only.

- Use new batteries, all of which are the same type, same model,

and made by the same manufacturer.

- Always make sure all batteries are inserted in conformity with

the +/- polarity markings.

- When the batteries run out, or if the instrument is not to be

used for a long time, remove the batteries from the instrument.

- When using Ni-MH batteries, follow the instructions that came

with the batteries. Use only the specified charger device when

charging.

• Keep batteries away from small children who might accidentally

swallow them.

• If the batteries do leak, avoid contact with the leaked fluid. If the

battery fluid should come in contact with your eyes, mouth, or

skin, wash immediately with water and consult a doctor. Battery

fluid is corrosive and may possibly cause loss of sight or

chemical burns.

• When one of the following problems occur, immediately turn off

the power switch and disconnect the electric plug from the

outlet. (If you are using batteries, remove all batteries from the

instrument.) Then have the device inspected by Yamaha service

personnel.

- The power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged.

- If any cracks or breakages exist on the instrument.

CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or

damage to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a

multiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality,

or possibly cause overheating in the outlet.

• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an

outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by

the cord can damage it.

• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is

not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical

storms.

• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it

might accidentally fall over.

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables, to

prevent damage to the cables or injury to anyone who might trip

over them.

• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you

are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction

occurs, immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect

the plug from the outlet. Even when the power switch is turned

off, electricity is still flowing to the product at the minimum

level. When you are not using the product for a long time, make

sure to unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic

components, turn off the power for all components. Before

turning the power on or off for all components, set all volume

levels to minimum.

• Be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum

levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the

instrument to set the desired listening level.

• Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the instrument.

• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the

gaps on the panel or keyboard. This could cause physical injury

to you or others, damage to the instrument or other property, or

operational failure.

• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the

instrument, and do not use excessive force on the buttons,

switches or connectors.

• Do not use the instrument/device or headphones for a long

period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since

this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any

hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by

improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that

is lost or destroyed.

Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

Even when the [P] (Standby/On) switch is in standby status

(display is off), electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the

minimum level.

When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure

you unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

Make sure to discard used batteries according to local regulations.

Power Requirements

This instrument can be operated either from an AC adaptor or batteries. Yamaha recommends use of an AC adaptor

whenever possible, since an AC adaptor is more environmentally friendly than batteries and does not deplete resources.

NOTICE

You should use an AC adaptor when using a USB flash memory drive. Using battery power could cause the power to go out

during operation, resultin in data loss.g

Connect the AC adaptor in the order shown in the illustration.

WARNING

• Only use the specified AC adaptor (page 40). Using the wrong AC adaptor can result in

damage to the instrument, overheating, or fire accidents. Note that an accident caused

by incorrect usage may void the warranty even if the instrument is still within the

warranty period.

• When using an AC adaptor with a removable plug, make sure to keep the plug attached

to the AC adaptor during use or storage. Inserting the plug alone into the AC outlet can

cause electric shock or fire.

• If the plug is accidentally removed from the AC adaptor, insert the plu all the way in g

until you hear a click, taking care to avoid touching any internal metal parts. To avoid electric shock, short circuit, or damage

to the instrument, also be careful that there is no dust between the AC adaptor and plug.

CAUTION

When setting up the product, make sure that the power outlet you are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction

occurs, immediately turn the power off and disconnect the plug from the outlet.

NOTICE

Hook the cable of the AC adaptor on the cord hook to prevent damage to the cable.

NOTE

To remove the AC adaptor, turn the power off first, and then follow the above instructions in reverse order.

buttons correspond to the following tone generation systems.

•[WOOD]/[BRASS]/[ORGAN] buttons: FM tone generation

•[PIANO/OTHERS] button: PCM tone generation

FM tone generation Voices are compatible with the Equal, Pure, and

Individual temperaments in the temperament setting function, and so are suitable for producing reference tones for

harmony. PCM tone generation Voices can only be used Equal temperament, but are useful since there are a variety of

available sounds.

For details on the Voices of each category, refer to page 41.

You can configure advanced settings, such as the root key and temperament (Equal/Pure/Individual temperament) of the

Selecting a Voice

Voice settings for tuning

While there is no specific rule-of-thumb on which reference sound to use, you should select a Voice that is easily

recognizable for both the conductor and performers. (Generally, organ or string-type sounds are ideal for
