PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
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:
Power supply/Power cord
•Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The
required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.
•Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust
which may have accumulated on it.
•Use only the supplied power cord/plug.
•Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or
radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the
cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where
anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it.
Do not open
•Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal
parts or modify them in any way. The instrument contains no
user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning,
discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified
Yamaha service personnel.
Water warning
•Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp
or wet conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids
which might spill into any openings.
•Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
Fire warning
•Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.
A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.
If you notice any abnormality
•If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there
is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any
unusual smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it,
immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the electric plug
from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected by qualified
Yamaha service personnel.
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:
Power supply/Power cord
•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.
•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.
Assembly
•Read carefully the attached documentation explaining the
assembly process. Failure to assemble the instrument in the
proper sequence might result in damage to the instrument or even
injury.

(1)B-7 2/2
Location
•Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or
extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or
in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel
disfiguration or damage to the internal components.
•Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo
equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the
instrument, TV, or radio may generate noise.
•Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might
accidentally fall over.
•Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.
•Do not place the instrument against a wall (allow at least 3 cm/
one-inch from the wall), since this can cause inadequate air
circulation, and possibly result in the instrument overheating.
Connections
•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. Also,
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.
Maintenance
•When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use
paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated
wiping cloths.
Handling caution
•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 or keyboard. If this happens, turn off the power
immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then
have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service
personnel.
•Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument,
since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.
•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.
•Do not operate the instrument 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.
Using the bench (If included)
•Do not place the bench in an unstable position where it might
accidentally fall over.
•Do not play carelessly with or stand on the bench. Using it as a
tool or step-ladder or for any other purpose might result in
accident or injury.
•Only one person should sit on the bench at a time, in order to
prevent the possibility of accident or injury.
•If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term use,
tighten them periodically using the included tool.
Saving data
Saving and backing up your data
•All panel settings and Registration Memories are lost when you
turn off the power to the instrument. If you want to keep the
settings, save the data to a floppy disk (see page 67).
Backing up the floppy disk
•To protect against data loss through media damage, we
recommend that you save your important data onto two floppy
disks.
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

GM (General MIDI System Level 1) is an addition to the MIDI standard that ensures that any GM-compatible
music data can be accurately played by any GM-compatible tone generator, regardless of maker.
The GM mark is affixed to all software and hardware products that support the General MIDI standard.
XG is a new MIDI format created by Yamaha that significantly improves and expands upon the General MIDI
standard by providing a greater variety of high-quality voices plus considerably enhanced effect operation – while
being fully compatible with GM.

In addition to the four panel voice groups such as Upper Keyboard Voice, Lower

voice groups, Upper Keyboard Voice 2, Lower Keyboard Voice 2, Pedal Voice 2.
These three voice groups are displayed on page 2 of the Voice Display screen.
This fact indicates the EL-100 owns the same voice group numbers as those of
the upper models like EL-500. Accordingly, the EL-100 can play back the
registrations created with the upper models like EL-500.You can change the
settings of each “hidden” voice group as you do with the panel voice groups.
