Yamaha PSR-160 Setting Up

Setting Up

This section contains information about setting up your PSR-160 for playing. Make sure to

read this section carefully before using the instrument.

Power Requirements

Although the PSR-160 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 • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

To connect your PSR-160 to a wall socket, you will need the optionally available

Yamaha PA-3B Power Adaptor. Use of other AC adaptors could result in damage

to the instrument, so be sure to ask for the right kind. Connect one end of the

adaptor to the DC IN 10-12V jack on the rear panel of your PSR-160, and the

other end to a suitable electrical outlet.

Using Batteries • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

Inserting Batteries

Turn the instrument upside-down and remove the battery compartment lid. Insert

six 1.5-volt size “D” (SUM-1, R-20 or equivalent) batteries as shown in the illus-

tration, making sure that the positive and negative terminals are properly aligned,

and replace the lid.

●

When the Batteries Run Down

When the batteries run low and the battery voltage drops below a certain level, the

PSR-160 may not sound or function properly. As soon as this happens, replace

them with a complete set of six new batteries.

Turning On the Power

With the AC po wer adaptor connected or with batteries installed, simply press the

STANDBY switch until it locks in the ON position. When the instrument is not in

use, be sure to turn the power off. (Press the switch again so that it pops up.)

• Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-3B AC

Power Adaptor (or other adap-

tor 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 PSR-

160.

• Unplug the AC Power Adaptor

when not using the PSR-160,

or during electrical storms.

BATTERIES 1.5V

• Never mix old and new batter-

ies or different types of batter-

ies (e.g., alkaline and

manganese).

• To prevent possible damage

from battery leakage, remove

the batteries from the instru-

ment if it is not to be used for a

long time.

• Even when the switch is in the

“STANDBY” position, electric-

ity is still ﬂowing to the instru-

ment at the minimum level.

When you are not using the

PSR-160 for a long time, make

sure you unplug the AC power

adaptor from the wall AC out-

let, and/or remove the batteries

from the instrument.
