For information on assembling the keyboard stand, refer to the instructions at the end of this manual.
IMPORTANT — Check your power supply — (YDP-160)
Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches the voltage specified on the name plate on the bottom
panel. In some areas a voltage selector may be provided on the bottom panel of the main keyboard unit near the
power cord. Make sure that the voltage selector is set for the voltage in your area. The voltage selector is set at
240V when the unit is initially shipped.
To change the setting use a "minus" screwdriver to rotate the selector dial so that the correct voltage appears
next to the pointer on the panel.
