Setting Up

Be 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

q Make sure that the power of the instrument is off (display is blank, except for notation staff).

WARNING

•Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-3B or PA-3C AC Power Adap- tor (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.

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

e Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.

CAUTION

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

■Using Batteries

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

w Insert the six new alkaline batteries, being careful to follow the polarity markings on the side of the compartment.

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

CAUTION

•Never connect or disconnect the AC power adaptor when the power is on and the batteries are installed. Doing so will turn the power off.

For battery operation the instrument requires six 1.5V “AA” size, LR6 or equivalent batteries. (Alka- line batteries are recommended.) When battery power becomes too low for proper operation, the volume may be reduced, the sound may be dis- torted, and other problems may occur. When this happens, make sure to replace all batteries, following the precautions listed below.

CAUTION

•Use alkaline batteries for this instrument. Other types of batteries (including rechargeable batteries) may have sudden drops of power when battery power becomes low.

•Make sure to install the batteries with the proper orienta- tion, maintaining the correct polarity (as shown). Incor- rect battery installation may result in heat, fire and/or leaking of corrosive chemicals.

•When the batteries run down, replace them with a com- plete 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 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.
