Do not open

Do not open the device or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way. The device contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

Water warning

CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the device or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Location

Before moving the device, remove all connected cables.

Avoid setting all volume controls to their maximum. Depending on the condition of the connected devices, doing so may cause feedback and may damage the speakers.

Do not expose the device to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal components.

Do not place the device in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.

Do not use the device in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Doing so may result in noise, both in the device itself and in the TV or radio next to it.

Connections

Before connecting the device to other devices, turn off the power for all devices. Before turning the power on or off for all devices, set all volume levels to minimum.

Handling caution

When turning on the AC power in your audio system, always turn on monitor speakers LAST, to avoid speaker damage. When turning the power off, monitor speakers should be turned off FIRST for the same reason.

Do not insert your fingers or hands in any gaps or openings on the device.

Avoid inserting or dropping foreign objects (paper, plastic, metal, etc.) into any gaps or openings on the device. If this happens, unplug the USB cable from the device immediately. Then have the device inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

Do not use the 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.
