Before Using Before Using Be sure to do the following operations BEFORE turning on the power. Power Requirements Although the instrument will run either from an optional AC adaptor or batteries, Yamaha recommends use of an AC adaptor whenever possible.

Before Using Using Batteries .................................................................................... 1. Open the battery compartment cover located on the instrument’s bottom panel. 2. Insert the six new alkaline batteries, being careful to follow the polarity markings on the side of the compartment. 3. Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks firmly in place. NOTE Never connect or disconnect the AC power adaptor when the power is on and the batteries are installed.
Before Using Setting the Volume Initially set the [MASTER VOLUME] slider about halfway between the “MIN” and “MAX” settings. Then, when you start playing, re-adjust the [MASTER VOLUME] slider to the most comfortable listening level. TERMINOLOGY MASTER VOLUME: The volume level of the entire keyboard sound The level decreases. The level increases. Using the Pedal [SUSTAIN] jack This jack is for connecting an optional pedal.

C#2 Hall1 For a “bigger” reverb sound, use the HALL 1 setting.
Selecting & Playing Voices Transposition The Transpose function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals to facilitate playing in difficult key signatures, and to let you easily match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instruments. For example, if you set the transposition amount to “+5,” playing key C produces pitch F.
