IMPORTANT ! PLEASE READ BEFORE PROCEEDING !
The RY8 is a powerful electronic music device featuring sensitive high
technology. To ensure many years of trouble-free use, please take the
important precautions below seriously.
LOCATION
■In order to avoid causing serious damage to the RY8, do not expose the
instrument to direct sunlight, high temperatures, excessive humidity,
excessive dust or strong vibration.
POWER SUPPLY
■Turn the power switch off when the RY8 is not in use.
■The AC power adaptor should be unplugged from the AC outlet if the RY8
is not to be used for an extended period of time.
■Unplug the RY8 during electrical storms.
■Avoid plugging the RY8 into the same AC outlet as appliances with high
power consumption such as electric heaters or ovens. Also, avoid using
multiple-plug adaptors, since these can result in reduced sound quality and
possibly even damage to the RY8.
TURN OFF POWER WHEN MAKING CONNECTIONS
■To avoid causing damage to the RY8 and other devices to which it is
connected (such as a sound system or MIDI instruments), turn off the
power of all related devices prior to connecting or disconnecting audio and
MIDI cables.
ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE
■Avoid using the RY8 near televisions, radios or other devices which
generate electromagnetic fields, since this may cause the RY8 to malfunction,
and may possibly generate interference noise in the other devices.

PRECAUTIONS
II
HANDLING AND TRANSPORT
■Handle the RY8 with care. Physical shocks caused by dropping or jostling
the instrument, or placing heavy objects upon it, can result in serious damage
to the RY8.
■Never apply excessive force to the controls, pads, or connectors of the
instrument.
■Disconnect all cables before moving the instrument. Always unplug cables
by gripping the plug firmly, and not by pulling on the cable itself.
CLEANING
■Never use chemical solvents or thinners to clean the RY8, since these will
damage the finish or the rubber pads. Wipe the instrument clean with a soft,
dry cloth. If necessary, use a soft, clean cloth slightly moistened with a
diluted, mild detergent. Then wipe the instrument thoroughly with a dry cloth.
Avoid placing vinyl objects on the top of the instrument. Vinyl can stick to and
discolor the surface.
DATA BACK-UP AND STORAGE
■Yamaha recommends that you regularly save your music data using an
external MIDI data storage device (such as the Yamaha MDF2 MIDI Data
Filer), and storing the floppy disks in a safe, cool, dry place. YAMAHA
CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACCIDENTAL LOSS OF
IMPORTANT MUSIC DATA! Regarding the User memory, as long as fresh
batteries are inserted in (or an AC power adaptor is connected to) the RY8, the
User pattern, song and drum kit data will be retained, even when the power is
turned off. It will also be retained long enough to exchange an old set of
batteries for a new set. If you have important data in the RY8 which you don’t
want to lose, please take care to keep fresh batteries inserted in (or keep an
AC power adaptor connected to) the RY8, and to regularly save it to an
external MIDI data storage device.
SERVICE AND MODIFICATION
■The RY8 contains no user serviceable parts, so never open the case
or tamper with the internal circuitry in any way. Doing so may result in
electrical shock or damage to the instrument. Refer all servicing to
qualified Yamaha service personnel.
YAMAHA CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGE TO THE RY8
RESULTING FROM IMPROPER HANDLING OR OPERATION !
