Yamaha apps for keyboard instruments

Refer to the following web page for information on Yamaha apps for keyboard instruments.

information provided on each app’s page.

You can download the apps from the “Play Store,” accessible by clicking or tapping the “Google Play” icon

in each app’s page of the website above.

Certain apps do not need to be connected to an instrument. In such a case, there is no need to follow the

instructions provided in this manual.

NOTICE

To prevent the smart device from falling, note the following points:

• Never place the smart device in an unstable position.

• Before moving the instrument, make sure to remove the smart device from the instrument.

• Never put anything else on the music rest together with the smart device, such as a song booklet or

another smart device. Doing so may make the music rest unstable and result in dropping the smart device.

• Never slide the smart device along the music rest or submit it to strong shock, such as pushing or hitting it

when on the music rest.

• After use, or when you separate from the instrument, make sure to remove the smart device from the music

rest.

 To avoid noise caused by communication, note the following points:

When using your instrument along with a smart device, we recommend that you turn on Airplane Mode on

your device in order to avoid noise caused by communication. If you connect to the instrument by a Wi-Fi

network or Bluetooth at this time, we recommend that after turning on Airplane Mode, you also turn on Wi-Fi/

Bluetooth.
