Setting Up
Be sure to do the following operations BEFORE turning on the power.
Power Requirements
Although the instrument will run either from an optional AC adaptor or batteries, Yamaha recommends use of an AC adaptor whenever possible. An AC adaptor is more environmentally friendly than batteries and does not deplete resources.
■Using an AC Power Adaptor
Make sure that the [STANDBY/ON] switch of the instrument is set to STANDBY.
WARNING
•Use ONLY a Yamaha
Connect the AC adaptor
Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.
CAUTION
•Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms.

For battery operation the instrument requires six 1.5V “D” size, R20P (LR20) or equivalent batteries. (Alkaline batteries are recommended.) When battery power becomes too low for proper operation, the battery exchange indication flashes in the display. As soon as this message appears, make sure to replace all batter- ies, following the precautions listed below.
If necessary, also make sure to save all important User data (see page 42), since custom panel settings are lost when the batteries are removed.

CAUTION
• Use only manganese or alkaline batteries for this instrument. |
Other types of batteries (including rechargeable batteries) may |
have sudden drops of power when battery power becomes low, |
possibly resulting in loss of data in the flash memory. |
• Make sure to install the batteries in the same direction, maintain- |
ing the correct polarity (as shown). Incorrect battery installation |
may result in heat, fire and/or leaking of corrosive chemicals. |

six new batteries. NEVER mix old and new batteries. Do not use |
different kinds of batteries (e.g. alkaline and manganese) at the |
same time. |
• If the instrument is not to be in use for a long time, remove the bat- |
teries from it, in order to prevent possible fluid leakage from the |
battery. |
• Please use the power adaptor when transferring data to flash |
memory. Batteries (including rechargeable types) can be drained |
rapidly by this type of operation. If the batteries do become |
drained during a data transfer, both the data being transferred and |
the data currently in the transfer destination will be lost. |
