This section contains information about setting up your PortaTone for playing.

Make sure to read this section carefully before using the instrument.

Setting Up

Power Requirements

Although the PSR-140 will run either from an

optional AC adaptor or batteries, Yamaha

recommends use of an AC adaptor whenever

possible. An AC adaptor is more environmen-

tally friendly than batteries and does not deplete

resources.

Using an AC Power Adaptor

To connect your PortaTone to a wall socket, you

will need the optionally available Yamaha PA-3B

Power Adaptor. Use of other AC adaptors could

result in damage to the instrument, so be sure

to ask for the right kind. Connect one end of

the adaptor to the DC IN 10-12V jack on the

rear panel of your PortaTone, and the other end

to a suitable electrical outlet.

WARNING :

• Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-3B AC Power Adaptor (or other

adaptor specifically recommended by Yamaha) to power your

instrument from the AC mains. The use of other adaptors may

result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the PSR-

140.

• Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the PSR-140,

or during electrical storms.

Using Batteries

■ Inserting Batteries

Turn the instrument upside-down and remove

the battery compartment lid. Insert six 1.5-volt

size “D” (SUM-1, R-20 or equivalent) batteries

as shown in the illustration, making sure that

the positive and negative terminals are properly

aligned, and replace the lid.

■ When the Batteries Run Down

When the batteries run low and the battery

voltage drops below a certain level, the

PortaTone may not sound or function properly.

As soon as this happens, replace them with a

complete set of six new batteries.

CAUTION :

• Never mix old and new batteries or different types of

batteries (e.g., alkaline and manganese).

• To prevent possible damage from battery leakage, remove

the batteries from the instrument if it is not to be used for a

long time.

CAUTION :

• Even when the switch is in the “STANDBY” position,

electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum

level. When you are not using the PSR-140 for a long time,

make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC

outlet, and/or remove the batteries from the instrument.

Turning On the Power

With the AC power adaptor connected or with

batteries installed, simply press the STANDBY

switch until it locks in the ON position. When

the instrument is not in use, be sure to turn the

power off. (Press the switch again so that it

pops up.)
