PSR-I425 Owner’s Manual
Setting Up
Be sure to do the following operations BEFORE turning on the power.
Although the instrument will run either from an optional AC adaptor or batteries, Yamaha recommends use of an AC
adaptor whenever possible. An AC adaptor is more environmentally friendly than batteries and does not deplete
resources.
■ Using an AC Power Adaptor
ᕡ Make sure that the [STANDBY/ON] switch of the
instrument is set to STANDBY.
ᕢ Connect the AC power adaptor to the power supply
jack.
ᕣ Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.
■ Using Batteries
ᕡ Open the battery compartment cover located on the
instrument’s bottom panel.
ᕢ Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow
the polarity markings on the inside of the compart-
ment.
ᕣ Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it
locks firmly in place.
For battery operation the instrument requires six 1.5V
“D” size, R20P (LR20) or equivalent batteries. (Alkaline
batteries are recommended.) When battery power
becomes too low for proper operation, make sure to
replace all batteries, following the precautions listed
below.
If necessary, also make sure to save all important User
data (see page 56), since custom panel settings are
lost when the batteries are removed.
Power Requirements
• Use the specified adaptor (PA-3C, or an equivalent recom-
mended by Yamaha) only. The use of other adaptors may
result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the
instrument.
WARNING
• Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the instrument,
or during electrical storms.
CAUTION

ᕣ
• Connecting the AC power adaptor automatically supplies power from
the adaptor and overrides battery power, even when batteries are
installed.
NOTE
• Use only manganese or alkaline batteries for this instrument.
Other types of batteries (including rechargeable batteries) may
exhibit a sudden drop in power when the batteries are low, possi-
bly resulting in a loss of flash memory data.
• Be sure to install the batteries in the same direction, maintaining
the correct polarity (as shown). Incorrect battery installation may
result in heat, fire and/or leaking of corrosive chemicals.
• When the batteries run down, replace them with a complete set of
six new batteries. NEVER mix old and new batteries. Do not use
different kinds of batteries (e.g. alkaline and manganese) at the
same time.
• If the instrument will not be used for an extended period of time,
remove the batteries to prevent possible fluid leakage.
• Please use the power adaptor when transferring data to flash
memory. Batteries (including rechargeable types) can be drained
rapidly by this type of operation. If the batteries do become
drained during a data transfer, both the data being transferred and
the data currently in the transfer destination will be lost.
