PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
Especially in the case of children, a guardian should provide guidance on
how to properly use and handle the product before actual use.
Please keep this manual in a safe and handy place for future reference.
WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury
or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These
precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Power supply
• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as
heaters or radiators. Also, do not excessively bend or
otherwise damage the cord, or place heavy objects on it.
• Do not touch the product or the power plug during an
electrical storm.
• Use only the correct voltage specified for the product.
The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the
product.
• Use only the supplied or the specified AC adaptor (page
22). Do not use the AC adaptor for other devices.
• Check the power plug periodically and remove any dirt or
dust which may have accumulated on it.
• Insert the power plug firmly all the way into the AC outlet.
Using the product when it is not plugged in sufficiently can
cause dust to accumulate on the plug, possibly resulting in
fire or skin burns.
• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC
outlet you are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or
malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power switch
and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the
power switch is turned off, as long as the power cord is not
unplugged from the wall AC outlet, the product will not be
disconnected from the power source.
• Do not connect the product to an electrical outlet using a
multi-plug outlet extender. Doing so can result in lower
sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet.
• When disconnecting the power plug, always hold the plug
itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it
and cause electric shocks or a fire.
• If not using the product for long periods of time, be sure to
pull the power plug from the AC outlet.
Do not disassemble
• This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not
attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them
in any way.
Water warning
• Do not expose the product to rain, use it near water or in
damp or wet conditions, or place on it any containers (such
as vases, bottles or glasses) containing liquids which might
spill into any openings or places where water may drop. A
liquid such as water getting into the product may cause a
fire, electric shocks, or malfunctions.
• Use the AC adaptor indoors only. Do not use in any wet
environments.
• Never insert or remove a power plug with wet hands.
Fire warning
• Do not place any burning items or open flames near the
product, since they may cause a fire.
Batteries
• Do not dispose of a battery in a fire.
• Do not expose the battery to conditions of extreme low air
pressure, cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight or a fire) or
excessive dust or humidity.
Doing so may result in the battery bursting, causing a fire
or injury.
• Follow the precautions below. Failure to do so might result
in battery fluid leakage. If the contents of the battery gets
on your hands or in your eyes, it can cause blindness,
chemical burns, and damage of the product.
–Use the specified battery type (page 22) only.
–Do not use new batteries together with old ones.
–Do not mix battery types.
–Always make sure all batteries are inserted in conformity
with the +/– polarity markings.
–Do not disassemble a battery.
–When the batteries run out, or if the product is not to
be used for a long time, remove the batteries from the
product.
–Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are not
designed to be charged.

DMI-11 2/3
• If the batteries do leak, avoid contact with the leaked fluid.
If the battery fluid should come in contact with your eyes,
mouth, or skin, wash immediately with water and consult
a doctor. Battery fluid is corrosive and may possibly cause
loss of sight or chemical burns.
• When using rechargeable batteries, follow the instructions
that came with the batteries. Use only the specified charger
device and within the specified charging temperature range
when charging.
Charging with an unspecified charger or at a temperature
outside the range may cause leakage, overheating,
explosion, or malfunction.
• Keep batteries away from children. A child could
accidentally swallow a battery. Failure to observe this may
also cause inflammation due to battery fluid leaks.
• Do not subject batteries to mechanical shock.
Doing so may cause damage caused by batteries, electric
shock, or malfunction.
• Do not intentionally short the battery. Explosion or liquid
leakage may cause fire or injury.
• Do not put batteries in a pocket or bag, or carry or store
them together with pieces of metal. Batteries kept in such
condition could short, burst, or leak, causing a fire or injury.
If you notice any abnormality
• If any of the following problems occur, immediately turn off
the power switch and disconnect the power plug from the
outlet. If you are using batteries, remove all batteries from
the product. Finally have the device inspected by Yamaha
service personnel.
–The power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged.
–Unusual smells or smoke are emitted.
–Some object, or water has been dropped into the product.
–There is a sudden loss of sound during use of the product.
–Cracks or other visible damage appear on the product.

Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause and Solution
Not all of the Voices seem to sound, or the
sound seems to be cut off.
The instrument is polyphonic up to a maximum of 32 notes—including auto
accompaniment, Song, and Metronome. Notes exceeding this limit will not sound.
The sound of the Voice changes from note
to note.
This is normal. The AWM tone generation method uses multiple recordings
(samples) of an instrument across the range of the keyboard; thus, the actual
sound of the Voice may be slightly different from note to note.
The power suddenly and unexpectedly turns
off.
This is normal, and the Auto Power Off function may have been activated. If you do
not want to use the Auto Power Off function, disable the Auto Power Off function
(page 11).
When the instrument is turned on, the power
turns off suddenly and unexpectedly.
The protection circuit has been activated due to over current. This may occur when
an AC adaptor other than the one specified is used or the AC adaptor is damaged.
Use the specified adaptor only (see “Specifications”-“Power Supply” below). If it
appears to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by
qualified Yamaha service personnel.
