Yamaha DGX-505 manual Setting Up, Power Requirements, Using an AC Power Adaptor, Using Batteries

Setting Up

Make 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 PA-5D, PA-5C 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.

Connect the AC adaptor (PA-5D, PA-5C or other adaptor specifically recommended by Yamaha) to the power supply jack.

Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.

CAUTION

•Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms.

PA-5D or

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, a “LOW BAT- TERY!!” message flashes in the upper right of the dis- play. As soon as this message appears, make sure to replace all batteries, following the precautions listed below.

If necessary, also make sure to save all important User data (see pages 49 and 75), since custom panel set- tings 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 / SmartMe-

dia™ card and the need to re-format the card.

• 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.

• When the batteries run down, replace them with a complete set of

six new batteries. NEVER mix old and new batteries. Do not use

different kinds of batteries (e.g. alkaline and manganese) at the

Open the battery compartment cover located on the instrument’s bottom panel.

Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow the polarity markings on the inside of the compart- ment.

Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks firmly in place.

NOTE

•Connecting the AC power adaptor automatically supplies power from the adaptor and overrides battery power, even when batteries are installed.

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 SmartMe-

dia or 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 trans-

ferred and the data currently in the transfer destination will be

lost.

CAUTION

•Don’t open the battery compartment cover while the instrument is resting on the keyboard stand. The batteries can fall out of the bat- tery compartment and possibly cause damage. Always turn the instrument over before opening the battery compartment cover.
