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:

  • Before installing the card in a device, check to make sure that the device is compatible with the card. Also, do not install the card in any Yamaha products not specified by  Yamaha for use with the card in order to avoid possible electrical shock, fire, or device damage.
  • Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the card. Do not apply excessive force to card connectors or other card components. Mishandling of the card may lead to shock, fire hazards, or device failure.
  • Be sure to disconnect the power cable of the host device before installing the card and connecting/disconnecting the cables (in order to eliminate shock hazard, undesired noise, and avoid device damage).
  • Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the host device before installation, and unplug all related cables.
  • Do not place any burning items or open flames near the device, since they may cause a fire.

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

  • Be sure to properly ground the host device to prevent electrical shock and/or malfunction.
  • Do not touch the metallic leads (pins) of the circuit board when handling the card. The pins are sharp and may cause hand cuts.
  • Wear a pair of heavy gloves during installation to avoid scratching or cutting your hands on sharp edges.
  • Do not place the device in a location where it may come into contact with corrosive gases or salt air. Doing so may result in malfunction.
  • Do not look at the laser light. This product uses a laser. Be careful to avoid looking at the ends of the optical fibers or the optical connectors. In the event, you look at the
    laser, it may damage your eyes.

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the device, or data that is lost or destroyed.

NOTICE

To avoid the possibility of malfunction/ damage to the product, damage to data, or damage to other property, follow the notices below.

  • Avoid touching exposed connectors and metal parts to minimize the possibility of bad connections.
  • Drain all static electricity from your clothing and body before handling the card. Static electricity can damage the card. Touch an exposed metal part of the host device or other grounded object beforehand.
  • Do not drop the card or subject it to physical shock as this can result in breakage and/or malfunction.

Handling and maintenance

  • Do not expose the device to excessive dust or vibration, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day), in order to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration, unstable operation, or damage to the internal components.
  • Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the device, since this might discolor the panel.
  • When cleaning the device, use a dry and soft cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.
  • Condensation can occur in the device due to rapid, drastic changes in ambient temperature — when the device is moved from one location to another, or air conditioning is turned on or off, for example. Using the device while condensation is present can cause damage. If there is reason to believe that condensation might have occurred, leave the device for several hours without turning on the power until the condensation has completely dried out.
