• 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 key cover or 

instrument. 

• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the 

gaps on the panel or keyboard. 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 or keyboard.

• 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

 

• DRAM data (see page 186) is lost when you turn off the power to 

the instrument. Save the data to a SmartMedia/USB storage 
device.

• Never attempt to turn off the power while data is being written to 

Flash ROM (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 and may cause the system to freeze (due to 
corruption of data in the Flash ROM). This means that this 
synthesizer may not be able to start up properly, even when 
turning the power on next time. 

 

Backing up the SmartMedia/external media

 

• To protect against data loss through media damage, we 

recommend that you save your important data onto two 
SmartMedia/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.
