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 only the stand specified for the instrument. When attaching it,
use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage
to the internal components or result in the instrument falling over.
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

Power Requirements
Although the instrument will run either from an AC
adaptor or batteries, Yamaha recommends use of an
AC adaptor whenever possible. An AC adaptor is
more environmentally friendly than batteries and
does not deplete resources.
Using an AC Adaptor
Connect the AC adaptor in the order shown in the
illustration.
Using Batteries
This instrument requires the following batteries.
PSR-E453: Six “AA” size alkaline (LR6), manganese
(R6) or Ni-MH rechargeable batteries.
PSR-EW400: Six “D” size alkaline (LR20), manga-
nese (R20) or Ni-MH rechargeable batteries.
The Alkaline batteries or rechargeable Ni-MH batter-
ies are recommended for this instrument, since other
types may result in poorer battery performance.
1 Make sure that the power of the instrument is off.
2 Open the battery compartment cover located on
the instrument’s bottom panel.
• You should use an AC adaptor when executing USB flash
drive operations, since battery power may not be reliable
enough to last through these crucial operations.
• Use the specified AC adaptor (page 72) only. Using the
wrong AC adaptor can result in damage to the instrument
or overheating.
• When using the AC adaptor with a removable plug, make
sure to keep the plug attached to the AC adaptor. Using the
plug alone can cause electric shock or fire.
• Never touch the metallic section when attaching the plug.
To avoid electric shock, short circuit or damage, also be
careful that there is no dust between the AC adaptor and
plug.

Setting the battery type
Depending on the battery type to be used, you may
need to change the battery type setting on this instru-
ment. To change the setting, first turn on the power to
the instrument, then choose the battery type you
would like to use. Alkaline (and manganese) batteries
are chosen by default. For details, refer to page 61,
Function 068 (PSR-E453)/Function 069 (PSR-
EW400).
Checking the power status
You can confirm the power source at the left corner of
the display.
: The power is supplied from the AC adaptor.
: The power is supplied from the batteries.
Remaining battery power indication
Connecting or disconnecting the AC adaptor with batteries
installed may turn the power off, resulting in loss of data
being recorded or transferred at the time.
• Make sure to set the battery type correctly (page 15).
When battery power becomes too low for proper operation,
the volume may be reduced, the sound may be distorted,
and other problems may occur. When this happens, make
sure to replace all batteries with new ones or already-
recharged ones.

NOTICE
• This instrument cannot charge the batteries. Use only the
specified charger device when charging.
• Power will be automatically drawn from the AC adaptor if an
AC adaptor is connected while batteries are installed in the
instrument.
• Failure to set the battery type may shorten the amount of
the battery life. Make sure to set the battery type correctly.
• When the AC adaptor is plugged in to the AC outlet, the bat-
tery icon does not appear even when batteries are inserted. In
this case, the power is supplied from the AC adaptor.

• When the instrument is not operated for a specified period
of time while connected to an external device such as an
amplifier, speaker or computer, make sure to follow the
instructions in the Owner’s Manual to turn off the power to
the instrument and the connected devices, in order to pro-
tect the devices from damage. If you do not want the
power to turn off automatically when a device is con-
nected, disable Auto Power Off.
• Generally, the data and settings are maintained even when the
power is turned off. For details, see page 39.
• Do not use the instrument for a long period of time at a

speaker, refer to page 38.
Using a Pedal (Sustain)
You can produce a natural sustain as you play by
pressing a footswitch (FC5 or FC4A; sold separately)
plugged into the [SUSTAIN] jack.
Using a Keyboard Stand
The following keyboard stands (sold separately) can
be used.
PSR-E453: L-2C
PSR-EW400: L-6
When using L-6 Keyboard Stand
(PSR-EW400)
The exterior size of PSR-EW400 is beyond the limits
as described in the L-6 Assembly Instructions. How-
ever, we have determined through tests that the
stand can be safely used for the instrument. When
setting the instrument, place it on the center of the
stand as shown in the illustration.
• Do not use the headphones for a long period of time at a
high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause
permanent hearing loss.
• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic com-
ponents, turn off the power of all the components. Also,
before turning any components on or off, make sure to set
all volume levels to minimum. Otherwise, damage to the
components or electrical shock may occur.
• To avoid possible damage to the external device, first turn
on the power to the instrument, then to the external device.
When turning off the power, do so in reverse order: first
turn off the power to the external device, then to the instru-
ment.
• Plug or unplug the footswitch while the power is off. Also, do
not press the footswitch when turning the power on. Doing so
changes the polarity of the footswitch, resulting in reversed
operation.
• The sustain function does not affect Split Voices (page 21).
• Some Voices may sound continuously or have a long decay
after the notes have been released while the footswitch is
held.
CAUTION
NOTICE
NOTE
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where
it might accidentally slip down. This could cause physical
injury to you or others, as well as damage to the instru-
ment or other property.
Place the instrument so
that the left and right
parts of the stand are
inside the protrusions on
the bottom panel of the
instrument.
Make sure that the bottom of
the instrument firmly rests on
the stoppers.
