PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death
from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but
are not limited to, the following:

• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument.

The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the
instrument.

• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or

dust which may have accumulated on it.

• Use only the supplied power cord/plug.

• Do not place the power 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.

A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.

• If the power 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
electric plug from the outlet, and have the instrument
inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

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:

• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an

outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by
the cord can damage it.

• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument

is not to be used for extended periods of time, 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.

• Read carefully this manual or the attached documentation

explaining the assembly process. Failure to assemble the
stand in the proper sequence might result in damage to the
instrument or even injury.

• 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.
Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio may generate noise.

• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it

might accidentally fall over.

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.

• Do not place objects in front of the instrument’s air vent, since

this may prevent adequate ventilation of the internal
components, and possibly result in the instrument
overheating.
