Setting Up Power Requirements Using Batteries Setting Up Although the instrument will run either from an AC adaptor or batteries, Yamaha recommends use of an AC adaptor whenever possible.

Setting Up • This instrument cannot charge the batteries. Use only the specified charger device when charging. • Power will be automatically drawn from the AC adaptor if an AC adaptor is connected while batteries are installed in the instrument.
