Setting Up

This section contains information about setting up your PSR-540 and preparing to play.

Be sure to go through this section carefully before turning the power on.

CAUTION

•

Never interrupt the power

supply (e.g. remove the

batteries or unplug the AC

adaptor) during any PSR-

540 record operation!

Doing so can result in a

loss of data.

Power supply connections

Although the PSR-540 will run either from an optional AC adaptor or batteries,

Yamaha recommends use of the more environmentally safe AC adaptor. Follow the

instructions below according to the power source you intend to use.

■

Using An Optional AC Power Adaptor

1

Make sure that the STANDBY/ON switch of the

PSR-540 is set to STANDBY.

WARNING

•

Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-6

AC Power Adaptor (or

other adaptor specifically

recommended by Yamaha)

to power your instrument

from the AC mains. The

use of other adaptors may

result in irreparable

damage to both the

adaptor and the PSR-540.

•

Unplug the AC Power

Adaptor when not using

the PSR-540, or during

electrical storms.

■

Using Batteries

For battery operation the PSR-540 requires six 1.5V SUM-1, “D” size, R-20 or equiva-

lent batteries. When the batteries need to be replaced, “Battery Low” may appear on

top of the display, the volume may be reduced, the sound may be distorted, and other

problems may occur. When this happens, turn the power off and replace the batteries.

Replace the batteries as follows:

CAUTION

•

When the batteries run

down, replace them with a

complete set of six new

batteries. NEVER mix old

and new batteries.

•

Do not use different kinds

of batteries (e.g. alkaline

and manganese) at the

same time.

•

If the instrument is not to

be in use for a long time,

remove the batteries from

it, in order to prevent

possible fluid leakage from

the battery.

•

Plugging or unplugging

the AC power adaptor

while the batteries are

installed will reset the

PSR-540 to the defaults.

3

Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.

When turning the power OFF, simply reverse the

procedure.

1

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

2

Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow the polarity markings on the

inside of the compartment.

3

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

2

Connect the AC adaptor (PA-6 or other adaptor

specifically recommended by Yamaha) to the

power supply jack.
