HANDLING AND TRANSPORT
■ Handle the RY8 with care. Physical shocks caused by dropping or jostling
the instrument, or placing heavy objects upon it, can result in serious damage
to the RY8.
■ Never apply excessive force to the controls, pads, or connectors of the
instrument.
■ Disconnect all cables before moving the instrument. Always unplug cables
by gripping the plug firmly, and not by pulling on the cable itself.
CLEANING
■ Never use chemical solvents or thinners to clean the RY8, since these will
damage the finish or the rubber pads. Wipe the instrument clean with a soft,
dry cloth. If necessary, use a soft, clean cloth slightly moistened with a
diluted, mild detergent. Then wipe the instrument thoroughly with a dry cloth.
Avoid placing vinyl objects on the top of the instrument. Vinyl can stick to and
discolor the surface.
DATA BACK-UP AND STORAGE
■ Yamaha recommends that you regularly save your music data using an
external MIDI data storage device (such as the Yamaha MDF2 MIDI Data
Filer), and storing the floppy disks in a safe, cool, dry place. YAMAHA
CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACCIDENTAL LOSS OF
IMPORTANT MUSIC DATA! Regarding the User memory, as long as fresh
batteries are inserted in (or an AC power adaptor is connected to) the RY8, the
User pattern, song and drum kit data will be retained, even when the power is
turned off. It will also be retained long enough to exchange an old set of
batteries for a new set. If you have important data in the RY8 which you don’t
want to lose, please take care to keep fresh batteries inserted in (or keep an
AC power adaptor connected to) the RY8, and to regularly save it to an
external MIDI data storage device.
SERVICE AND MODIFICATION
■ The RY8 contains no user serviceable parts, so never open the case
or tamper with the internal circuitry in any way. Doing so may result in
electrical shock or damage to the instrument. Refer all servicing to
qualified Yamaha service personnel.
