• 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.
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint
thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.
• Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the instrument.
• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the
panel. If this happens, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power
cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualified
Yamaha service personnel.
• 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.
• This instrument has a built-in lithium backup battery. When you unplug the
power cord from the AC outlet, the system setup data (Utilitey mode [Page
255] and other settings) is retained. However, if the backup battery fully
discharges, this data will be lost. When the backup battery is running low, the
display indicates “Backup Battery Low.” In this case, immediately save the
data to a Memory Card (SmartMedia)/a SCSI disk (See page 114, 166, 204),
then have qualified Yamaha service personnel replace the backup battery.
