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. Also,
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.
When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use
paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated
wiping cloths.
Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the instrument.
Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the
gaps on the panel. If this happens, turn off the power immediately
and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the
instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument,
since this might discolor the panel.
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 operate the instrument 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.
Saving and backing up your data
•Voice/Performance/Multi parameter settings are lost when you
turn off the power to the instrument without saving. Make sure to
save important data to internal (User) memory (see page 49).
Keep in mind that saved data may be lost due to malfunction or
incorrect operation. Make sure to save your important data to
external media for archive purposes (see page 48).
Never attempt to turn off the power while data is being
written to internal memory (while an “Executing...” or “Please
keep power on” message is shown). Turning the power off in
this state results in loss of all user data.
When you exit from the Utility or Favorite Category function,
the parameter you changed in the display is automatically
stored. If you turn off the power without exiting from Utility,
your custom settings will be lost.
Backing up the external media
•To protect against data loss through media damage, we
recommend that you save your important data onto two external
media.
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost
or destroyed.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.
Even when the power switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level. When you are not
using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet.
