PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep these precautions in a safe place for future reference.

CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to

you or others, or damage to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but

are not limited to, the following:

• If the batteries do leak, avoid contact with the leaked
fluid. If the battery fluid should come in contact with
your eyes, mouth, or skin, wash immediately with water
and consult a doctor. Battery fluid is corrosive and may
possibly cause loss of sight or chemical burns.
• 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.
• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or
vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct
sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to
prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage
to the internal components.
• Do not use the instrument near other electrical products
such as televisions, radios, or speakers, since this
might cause interference which can affect proper opera-
tion of the other products.
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position
where it might accidentally fall over.
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected
adaptor and other cables.
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do
not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or
chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Also, do not
place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument,
since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.
• 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 operate the instrument 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.

REPLACING THE BACKUP BATTERY

• This instrument contains a non rechargeable internal
backup battery which permits internal data to remain
stored even when the power is off. When the backup
battery needs replacing, the message "Backup
Batt.Low" will display in the LCD display. When this
happens, immediately back up your data, then have
qualified Yamaha service personnel replace the backup
battery.
• Do not attempt to replace the backup battery yourself, in
order to prevent the possible serious hazards. Always
have qualified Yamaha service personnel replace the
backup battery.
• Never place the backup battery in a location that a child
can reach, since a child might accidentally swallow the
battery. If this should happen, consult a physician
immediately.

SAVING USER DATA

• Always save data to a Memory Card (SmartMedia) fre-
quently, in order to help prevent the loss of important
data due to a malfunction or user operating error.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in
use.
Make sure to discard used batteries according to local
regulations.
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage
caused by improper use or modifications to the
instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.
