• 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

or keyboard. 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.

Saving and backing up your data

• RAM data (see page 65) is lost when you turn off the power to the instrument.

Save the data to the User, Floppy Disk or optional Hard Disk drives. Saved data

may be lost due to malfunction or incorrect operation. Save important data to a

ﬂoppy disk or optional hard disk.

• When you change settings in a display page and then exit from that page,

System Setup data (listed in the Parameter Chart of the separate Data List

booklet) is automatically stored. However, this edited data is lost if you turn off

the power without properly exiting from the relevant display.

Backing up the ﬂoppy disk

• To protect against data loss through media damage, we recommend that you

save your important data onto two ﬂoppy disks.

Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

Caution for data operations

Make sure NEVER to turn the TYROS’ power off during any kind of data operation involving the USER/FD/HD drives — such as saving, deleting, or copying/pasting —

until the operation is completely ﬁnished. (Make sure to wait until the alert message shown below disappears.) Turning the power off during the operation results in the

loss of the data being saved or pasted to the respective drive.

Keeping the power on during such operations is particularly important in regard to the USER drive. Turning off the power while performing a save/delete/paste operation

with the USER drive may result in loss of ALL data on the USER drive (upon the next power on) — and not just the data in question. In other words, if you are performing

a save/delete/paste operation on only the song data of the USER drive and you turn off the power before the operation is completed, you risk losing ALL your USER drive

data — including all voices, styles, Multi Pad banks and Registration Memory presets you’ve saved to the USER drive.

This caution also applies to creating a new folder on the USER drive or using the factory reset operation (page 159).

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modiﬁcations to the instrument, or data that is lost or

destroyed.
