PRECAUTIONS_________________________
1. AVOID EXCESSIVE HEAT. HUMIDITY, DUST AND VIBRATION
Keep the unit away from locations where it is likely to be exposed
to high temperatures or humidity — such as near radiators, stoves,
etc. Also avoid locations which are subject to excessive dust
accumulation or vibration which could cause mechanical damage.
2. AVOID PHYSICAL SHOCKS
Strong physical shocks to the unit can cause damage. Handle it
with care.
3. DO NOT OPEN THE CASE OR ATTEMPT REPAIRS OR
MODIFICATIONS YOURSELF
This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Refer all
maintenance to qualified Yamaha service personnel. Opening the
case and/or tampering with the internal circuitry will void the
warranty.
4. HANDLE CABLES CAREFULLY
Always plug and unplug cables by gripping the connector, not the
cord.
5. CLEAN WITH A SOFT DRY CLOTH
Never use solvents such as benzine or thinner to clean the unit.
Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth.
6. ALWAYS USE THE CORRECT POWER SOURCE
The MFC06 will run from dry batteries or an optional AC adaptor.
Use ONLY the Yamaha PA-1 or PA-1 B AC adaptor when running
the MFC06 from the AC mains. Attempting to use other AC
adaptors can cause serious damage.
7. ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE
The MFC06 contains digital circuitry, and may cause interference if
placed top close to television or radio receivers, or other broadcast
reception equipment. If interference occurs, move the MFC06
further away from the affected equipment.
8. IF YOU WON'T BE USING THE MFC06 FOR A WHILE
If your MFC06 will not be used for an extended period of time,
remove the internal batteries. The AC adaptor should be unplugged
from the AC mains outlet whenever the MFC06 is not being used.
9. MIDI CABLE
Always use the MFC06 with a properly constructed MIDI cable.
Never use a MIDI cable longer than 15 meters.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
The MFC06 requires 6 "AA" type dry batteries if you intend to operate
it without the PA-1 or PA-1 B AC adapter. Alkaline type dry batteries
are recommended because of their longer life.
0 Make sure the MFC06 power switch is OFF.
® Use a coin or similar object to turn the large saew retaining the
battery compartment cover on the bottom panel of the MFC06,
and remove the battery compartment cover.
(D Remove the battery holder, taking care not to pull on or damage
the battery wires. Unsnap the battery holder from the battery clip.
0 Install the six batteries in the battery holder, making sure that
each battery faces in the proper direction. Battery orientation
markings are provided on the battery hoider.
0 Snap the battery clip securely back onto the battery holder, and
replace the battery holder in the battery compartment.
0 Replace the battery compartment cover and tighten the retaining
screw.
' When the batteries need replacing, the MFC06 indicators will begin
to flash. When this happens, replace all six batteries at the same
time. New batteries should never be mixed with old ones.
' When performing, it's a good idea to have a spare set of batteries
handy— just in case.
' It is a good idea to have a fresh set of batteries installed even when
using the PA-1 AC adapter. If the AC adapter cord is accidentally
unplugged during use, the MFC06 will instantly switch to battery
power.
' Even when no batteries are installed, make sure to attach the
battery clip to the battery holder. If this is not done, the battery clip
can come in contact with a conducting surface inside the battery
compartment, thus shorting the power supply and possible causing
damage.
SETTING UP___________________________
Please set up the MFC06 according to the following procedure.
0 Install the batteries as described in the previous section, or
connect a Yamaha PA-1 or PA-1 B AC Adapter to the DC 9-12VIN
jack. If batteries are installed and the AC adapter cable is
connected to the MFC06, the batteries are automatically
disconnected and the AC adapter provides power to the MFC06.
