4CLP-295GP Owner’s Manual
• 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. Also, 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.
•In the case of a model with a polished finish, gently remove dust and dirt with a
soft cloth. Do not wipe too hard since small particles of dirt can scratch the
instrument's finish.
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not
use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping
cloths.
•Take care that the key cover does not pinch your fingers, and do not insert a
finger or hand in any gaps on the key cover or instrument.
• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the key
cover, panel or keyboard. If this happens, turn off the power immediately and
unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected
by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
•Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might
discolor the panel or keyboard.
• In the case of a model with a polished finish, bumping the surface of the
instrument with metal, porcelain, or other hard objects can cause the finish to
crack or peel. Use caution.
• 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.
• Do not place the bench in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall
over.
��� Do not play carelessly with or stand on the bench. Using it as a tool or step-
ladder or for any other purpose might result in accident or injury.
• Only one person should sit on the bench at a time, in order to prevent the
possibility of accident or injury.
•If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term use, tighten them
periodically using the included tool.
