Introduction

Setting Up

Be sure to do the following operations BEFORE turning on the power.

Although the instrument will run either from an optional AC adaptor or batteries, Yamaha recommends use of an 
AC adaptor whenever possible. An AC adaptor is more environmentally friendly than batteries and does not 
deplete resources.

Using an AC Power Adaptor

1

Make sure that the [

] (Standby/On) switch of 

the instrument is off (the power indicator located to 
the left of the switch is off).

2

Connect the AC adaptor to the power supply jack.

3

Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.

Using Batteries

1

Open the battery compartment cover located on the 
instrument’s bottom panel.

2

Insert six new alkaline batteries, being careful to 
follow the polarity markings on the side of the 
compartment.

3

Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it 
locks firmly in place.

For battery operation, the instrument requires six 1.5V 
“AA” size, LR6 or equivalent batteries. (Alkaline bat-
teries are recommended.) When battery power 
becomes too low for proper operation, the volume 
may be reduced, the sound may be distorted, and other 
problems may occur. When this happens, make sure to 
replace all batteries, following the precautions listed 
below.

Power Requirements

• Use the specified adaptor (page 22). The use of other 

adaptors may result in irreparable damage to both the 
adaptor and the instrument.

• Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the 

instrument, or during electrical storms.

• Never connect or disconnect the AC power adaptor when the power is on 

and the batteries are installed. Doing so will turn the power off.

NOTE

• Make sure to install the batteries with the proper orienta-

tion, maintaining the correct polarity (as shown). Incorrect 
battery installation may result in heat, fire and/or leaking of 
corrosive chemicals.

• When the batteries run down, replace them with a com-

plete set of six new batteries. NEVER mix old and new bat-
teries. Do not use different kinds of batteries (e.g. alkaline 
and manganese) at the same time.

•  If the instrument is not to be used for a long time, remove 

the batteries in order to prevent possible fluid leakage and 
damage to the instrument.
