EZ-TP Owner’s Manual

Setting Up

Although the instrument will run either from the supplied AC adaptor or optional

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

q

Make sure that the [STANDBY/ON] switch
of the instrument is set to STANDBY.

w

Connect the AC adaptor (PA-3C or other
adaptor specifically recommended by
Yamaha) to the power supply jack.

e

Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.

■

Using the Batteries

q

Using a coin or screwdriver open the
battery compartment located on the bottom
of the instrument.

w

Insert four new alkaline batteries, being
careful to follow the polarity markings as
shown below.
e
Replace the compartment cover, making
sure that it locks firmly in place.
For battery operation the instrument requires
four 1.5V “AA” size, LR6 or equivalent bat-
teries. (Alkaline batteries are recommended.)
When the batteries run low and the battery
voltage drops below a certain level, the instru-
ment may not sound or function properly. As
soon as this happens, make sure to replace all
batteries, following the precautions listed
below.

Power Requirements

• Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-3C AC Power Adaptor
(or other adaptor specifically recommended by
Yamaha) to power your instrument from the AC
mains. The use of other adaptors may result in
irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the
instrument.
• Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using
the instrument, or during electrical storms.

NOTE

• Connecting the AC adaptor automati-
cally supplies from the adaptor and bat-
tery even when batteries are installed.
• Be sure to observe the +/- polarity markings,
and install the batteries with the proper orien-
tation. Improper battery orientation can result
in overheating, fluid leakage, and possibly fire.
• When the batteries run down, replace them
with a complete set of four 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 batteries from it, in order to
prevent possible fluid leakage from the battery.
•Always use the AC power adaptor when using
the Song Filer application to load song data
into the EZ-TP. The Song Filer will not function
when battery power is used.
