These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following: Power supply/AC power adaptor · Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument. · Use the specified adaptor (PA-300 or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or overheating. · Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it. · Do not place the AC adaptor cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it. Water warning · Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any openings. · Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands. Fire warning · Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit. A burning item may fall over and cause a fire. If you notice any abnormality · If the AC adaptor cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the adaptor plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. Do not open · Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following: Power supply/AC power adaptor · When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. · Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms. · Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet. Location · 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 in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices.
