PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
Please keep this man ual in a safe and handy place for f utu re reference.
 WARNING
Always follow the basic pr ecautions listed below to avoid the  possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock , short-
circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precau tions include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators. Also, do not 
excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, or place heavy objects on it.
• Only use the voltage specified as co rrect for the instrument. The required voltage is printed on the 
name plate of the instrument.
• Use only the supplied power cord/plug.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on  it.
• Be sure to connect to an appropriate outlet with a protective grounding connection. Improper  grounding can result in electrical shock.
• This instrument contains no user-serviceable pa rts. Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the 
internal components in any way. If it should ap pear 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, place on it 
any containers (such as vases, bottles or glasses)  containing liquids which might spill into any 
openings. If any liquid such as water seeps into  the instrument, turn off the power immediately 
and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Th en have the instrument inspected by qualified 
Yamaha service personnel.
• 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.
• When one of the following problems occur, immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect  the electric plug from the outlet. Then have the device inspected by Yamaha service personnel.
- The power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged.
- It emits unusual smells or smoke.
- Some object has been dropped into the instrument.
- There is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument.
 CAUTION
Always follow the basic pr ecautions 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:
• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector. Doing so can 
result in lower sound quality, or poss ibly cause overheating in the outlet.
• 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 place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables, to prevent damage to the cables or  injury to anyone who might trip over them.
• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is easily accessible. If  some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately  turn off the power switch and disconnect the 
plug from the outlet. Even when the power switch is  turned off, electricity is still flowing to the 
product at the minimum level. When you are not us ing the product for a long time, make sure to 
unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.
• Use only the stand specified for the instrument . When attaching the stand or rack, use the 
provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause  damage to the internal components or result 
in the instrument falling over. • 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.
• 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.
• Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the instrument.
• Never insert or drop paper, meta llic, or other objects into the gaps on the panel. This could cause 
physical injury to you or others, damage to th e instrument or other property, or operational 
failure.
• 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 use the instrument/device or headphones 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.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use. 
When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

Notices and Information
NOTICE
To avoid the possibility of malfunction/ damage to the product, damage to data, or damage to other property, follow the notices  below.
 Handling
• 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. When you use the instrument along with an application on your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch, we recommend that you 
set “Airplane Mode” to “ON” on that device in order to avoid noise caused by communication. 
• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heat er, or in a car during 
the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration, damage to the internal components or unstable operation (Verified operating temperature 
range: 5° – 40°C, or 41° – 104°F).
• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvent\
s, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated  wiping cloths.
 Saving data
• The edited Voices, Styles, One Touch Settings, Songs, Multi Pads and MIDI settings are lost when you turn off the power of ins trument without 
saving. It occurs also when the power is turned off by Auto Power Off function (page 17). Save the edited data to the instrument  (User memory), 
internal hard disk drive or USB flash memory (page 29). Saving the data to USB flash memory is even more secure, since the data  in the instru-
ment may be lost due to malfunction or incorrect operation.
• To further protect against data loss through USB flash memory  damage, we recommend that you save your important data onto two  USB flash 
memories.
• You can save the data also to a computer by connecting the instrument to a computer (page 103).
• System Setup data (data other than the edited Voices, Styles, One Touch Settings, Songs, Multi Pads and MIDI settings) is auto matically stored, 
when you change the settings in a display page and then exit from that p\
age. However, the data is lost if you turn off the powe r without properly 
existing from the relevant display. For information about the System Setup data, refer to the Parameter Chart of the Data List on the website.
