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.

Connect the AC adaptor (PA-5D, or other adaptor speciﬁcally

recommended by Yamaha) to the power supply jack.

Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.

■Using Batteries

Open the battery compartment cover located on the instru-

ment’s bottom panel.

Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow the polar-

ity markings on the inside of the compartment.

Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks

ﬁrmly in place.

For battery operation the instrument requires six 1.5V

“D” size, R20P (LR20) or equivalent batteries. (Alka-

line 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 impor-

tant User data (see pages 84 and 63), since all User

songs and custom panel settings are lost when the

batteries are removed.

• Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-5D 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

instrument.

•Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the instrument,

or during electrical storms.

PA-5D AC outlet

•Connecting the AC power adaptor automatically supplies power from the

adaptor and overrides battery power, even when batteries are installed.

NOTE

• Make sure to install the batteries in the same direction, main-

taining 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 man-

ganese) 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.

• Keep in mind that when battery power becomes low, the

instrument sounds may revert to their initial settings and the

User song data and panel settings may be lost, especially if

you play the instrument in this condition at a high volume. If

you intend on using batteries, make sure to save your data

regularly and often to a SmartMedia card.
