PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
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 the specified adaptor (page 69). · 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
· 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.
Wireless unit
· Radio waves from this product may affect electro-medical devices, such as a heart pacemaker implant or defibrillator implant. – Do not use the product near medical devices or inside medical facilities. Radio waves from this product may affect electro-medical devices. – Do not use the product within 15 cm (6 in.) of persons with a heart pacemaker implant or a defibrillator implant.
Handling
· Magnetism from this product may affect electro-medical devices, such as a heart pacemaker implant or defibrillator implant. – Keep the product away from a heart pacemaker implant or a defibrillator implant.
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 69) 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.

(DMI-10) 1/2

2 CK88 CK61 Owner’s Manual

– 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.
· 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 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.

CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the product or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Location
· Do not place the product in an unstable position or a location with excessive vibration, where it might accidentally fall over and cause injury.
Connections
· Before connecting the product 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.
· Be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the product to set the desired listening level.

Handling
· Do not insert foreign materials such as metal or paper into any openings or gaps of the product. Failure to observe this may cause a fire, electric shocks, or malfunctions.
· Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the product, and do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.
· Do not use the product or headphones 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.
· Remove the power plug from the AC outlet before cleaning the unit. Failure to observe this may cause electric shocks.

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the product, or data that is lost or destroyed.
Always turn the power off when the product is not in use. Even when the [1] (Standby/On) switch is in standby status (display is off ), electricity is still flowing to the product at the minimum level. When you are not using the product for a long time, make sure you unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet. Make sure to discard used batteries according to local regulations.

Determines how actual velocities will be generated according to the strength with which you play notes on the keyboard. · Normal: This linear “curve” produces one-to-one correspondence between the
strength of your keyboard playing (velocity) and the actual sound change. · Soft: This curve provides an increased response, especially for lower velocities. · Hard: This curve provides an overall decreased response, especially for higher
velocities, meaning that greater strength is needed to produce louder sound. · Wide: This curve accentuates your playing strength by producing lower velocities in
response to softer playing and louder velocities in response to harder playing. As such, you can use this setting to expand your dynamic range. · Fixed: This setting produces the same amount of sound change, no matter what your playing strength. The velocity of the notes you play is fixed at the value set here. Default: Normal
