PrPecaurtioenscautions !! PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE PROCEEDING !! s Location Do not expose the QY300 to the following conditions to avoid deformation, discoloration, or more serious damage. • Direct sunlight (e.g. near a window). • High temperatures (e.g. near a heat source, out- side, or in a car during the daytime). • Excessive humidity. • Excessive dust. • Strong vibration. s Power Supply • Turn the power switch OFF when the instrument is not in use. • The power supply cord should be unplugged from the AC outlet if the instrument is not to be used for an extended period of time. • Unplug the instrument during electric storms. • Avoid plugging the instrument into the same AC outlet as appliances with high power consumption, such as electric heaters or ovens. Also avoid using multi-plug adaptors since these can result in reduced sound quality and possibly damage. s Turn Power OFF When Making Connections • To avoid damage to the instrument and other devices to which it is connected (a sound system, for example), turn the power switches of all related devices OFF prior to connecting or disconnecting audio and MIDI cables. s MIDI Connections • When connecting the QY300 to MIDI equipment, be sure to use high-quality cables made especially for MIDI data transmission. • Avoid MIDI cables longer than about 15 meters. Longer cables can pick up electrical noise that can causes data errors. s Handling and Transport • Never apply excessive force to the controls, connectors or other parts of the instrument. • Always unplug cables by gripping the plug firmly, not by pulling on the cable. • Disconnect all cables before moving the instrument. • Physical shocks caused by dropping, bumping, or placing heavy objects on the instrument can result in scratches and more serious damage. s Cleaning • Clean the cabinet and panel with a dry soft cloth. • A slightly damp cloth may be used to remove stubborn grime and dirt. • Never use cleaners such as alcohol or thinner. • Avoid placing vinyl objects on top of the instru- ment (vinyl can stick to and discolor the surface). s Electrical Interference • This instrument contains digital circuitry and may cause interference if placed too close to radio or television receivers. If this occurs, move the instrument further away from the affected equipment. iv

Precautions
!! PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE PROCEEDING !!
■
Location
Do not expose the QY300 to the following condi-
tions to avoid deformation, discoloration, or
more serious damage.
•
Direct sunlight (e.g. near a window).
• High temperatures (e.g. near a heat source, out-
side, or in a car during the daytime).
•
Excessive humidity.
•
Excessive dust.
•
Strong vibration.
■
Power Supply
•
Turn the power switch OFF when the instrument
is not in use.
• The power supply cord should be unplugged
from the AC outlet if the instrument is not to be
used for an extended period of time.
•
Unplug the instrument during electric storms.
•
Avoid plugging the instrument into the same AC
outlet as appliances with high power consump-
tion, such as electric heaters or ovens. Also avoid
using multi-plug adaptors since these can result
in reduced sound quality and possibly damage.
■
Turn Power OFF When
Making Connections
•
To avoid damage to the instrument and other de-
vices to which it is connected (a sound system,
for example), turn the power switches of all re-
lated devices OFF prior to connecting or discon-
necting audio and MIDI cables.
■
MIDI Connections
• When connecting the QY300 to MIDI equip-
ment, be sure to use high-quality cables made
especially for MIDI data transmission.
• Avoid MIDI cables longer than about 15 meters.
Longer cables can pick up electrical noise that
can causes data errors.
■
Handling and Transport
•
Never apply excessive force to the controls, con-
nectors or other parts of the instrument.
• Always unplug cables by gripping the plug
firmly, not by pulling on the cable.
• Disconnect all cables before moving the instru-
ment.
•
Physical shocks caused by dropping, bumping, or
placing heavy objects on the instrument can re-
sult in scratches and more serious damage.
■
Cleaning
•
Clean the cabinet and panel with a dry soft cloth.
• A slightly damp cloth may be used to remove
stubborn grime and dirt.
•
Never use cleaners such as alcohol or thinner.
• Avoid placing vinyl objects on top of the instru-
ment (vinyl can stick to and discolor the surface).
■
Electrical Interference
• This instrument contains digital circuitry and
may cause interference if placed too close to ra-
dio or television receivers. If this occurs, move
the instrument further away from the affected
equipment.
