CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the instrument or other

property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-

connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause

overheating in the outlet.

• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold

the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.

• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used

for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.

• Assemble the instrument in the proper sequence by following the assembly

instructions in this manual. Also, make sure to tighten the bolts regularly.

Failure to do so might result in damage to the instrument or even injury.

• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally

fall over.

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables, to prevent

damage to the cables or injury to anyone who might trip over them.

• 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, electricity is still flowing to the product at the

minimum level. When you are not using the product for a long time, make sure

to unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

• Use the included module holder if you are installing the DTX-PROX on the

drum hardware. Also, make sure you use the wing bolts included with the

module holder. Failure to do so could cause damage to the internal

components or result in the instrument falling over.

• Take care when setting up cables. If anyone were to trip on a cable, the

instrument could topple over and cause injury.

• Before connecting the instrument 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 instrument to set the

desired listening level.

• Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the instrument.

• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the

panel. This could cause physical injury to you or others, damage to the

instrument or other property, or operational failure.

• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do

not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.

• Keep small parts out of the reach of infants. Your children may accidentally

swallow them.

• Do not use the instrument/device 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.

Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

Even when the [ ] (Standby/On) switch is in standby status (display is off), electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level.

When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

About Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a technology for wireless communication between devices

within an area of about 10 meters (33 ft.) employing the 2.4 GHz fre-

quency band.

Handling Bluetooth communications

• The 2.4 GHz band used by Bluetooth compatible devices is a radio

band shared by many types of equipment. While Bluetooth compat-

ible devices use a technology minimizing the influence of other

components using the same radio band, such influence may

reduce the speed or distance of communications and in some

cases interrupt communications.

• The speed of signal transfer and the distance at which communica-

tion is possible differs according to the distance between the com-

municating devices, the presence of obstacles, radio wave

conditions and the type of equipment.

• Yamaha does not guarantee all wireless connections between this

unit and devices compatible with Bluetooth function.
