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: Power supply/AC power adaptor • 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. • 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. • Do not use if the power adaptor plug or cord is damaged. • 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 cover or wrap the power adaptor with a cloth or blanket. Heat buildup during use can cause fire or deform the case. Use in a well ventilated area. • Remove the batteries from the instrument when using the power adaptor. When batteries are installed, the power source automatically switches to the AC power adaptor when connected. Leaving batteries in the instrument can cause leakage. Assembly • Please refer to the "Attaching the Frame" section on page 9 of this manual for instructions on attaching the frame. Not following the instructions may result in injury or damage. • Make sure both frame fixing screws are fastened securely after attaching the frame. Loose screws can cause rattling resulting in noise while playing. • Please take care not to pinch your fingers or hands in movable parts. Location • Do not expose to direct sunlight (in a car during the day), high temperatures such as near a stove, or extremely low temperatures, and do not expose to vibrations or dust to prevent damage to the internal components or panel disfiguration. • Do not use close to electronics such as speakers, TV, and radio. The instrument's electronic circuits may cause noise in the TV or radio. • 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. Connections • 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. • Never return the signal from the outputs (PHONES/ LINE OUT) directly or via an external device to the AUX IN jack. Doing so can cause a feedback loop that damage the instrument. Handling caution • Never hold the instrument close to your face when adjusting or replacing strings. A string may unexpectedly break damaging your eyes. • If you cut the strings when replacing, do so after sufficiently loosening the pegs. Sudden loss of string tension may damage the neck and the rebounding strings may cause serious injury. • Replace strings one by one to prevent the saddle and pickup sensor from moving. A sensor is installed beneath the saddle to pickup string vibration. If the saddle falls out make sure the sensor position has not changed. Reattach the saddle positioning the lower end of the saddle beneath the first string. • If cleaning is required, wipe with a soft cloth. Do not use thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or wipes soaked with chemicals. Also. Do not place vinyl or plastic products on the instrument. Doing so can cause discoloration/deterioration. • 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 or headphones/earphones 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. Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument. Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use. Make sure to discard used batteries according to local regulations. 4
