PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
Please keep this manual in a safe and handy 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:
Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators. Also,
do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, or place heavy objects on
it.
Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required voltage
is printed on the name plate of the instrument.
Use the specified adaptor (page 65) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in
damage to the instrument or overheating.
Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have
accumulated on it.
This instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not open the instrument
or attempt to disassemble or modify the internal components in any way. If it
should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it
inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet
conditions, place on it any containers (such as vases, bottles or glasses)
containing liquids which might spill into any openings. If any liquid such as
water seeps into the instrument, turn off the power immediately and unplug the
power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualified
Yamaha service personnel.
Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit. A burning item may fall
over and cause a fire.
Follow the precautions below. Failure to do so might result in explosion, fire,
overheating or battery fluid leakage.
- Do not tamper with or disassemble batteries.
- Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
- Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are not designed to be charged.
- Keep the batteries separate from metallic objects such as necklaces, hairpins,
coins, and keys.
- Use the specified battery type (page 13) only.
- Use new batteries, all of which are the same type, same model, and made by
the same manufacturer.
- Always make sure all batteries are inserted in conformity with the +/- polarity
markings.
- When the batteries run out, or if the instrument is not to be used for a long
time, remove the batteries from the instrument.
- When using Ni-MH batteries, follow the instructions that came with the
batteries. Use only the specified charger device when charging.
Keep batteries away from small children who might accidentally swallow them.
If the batteries do leak, avoid contact with the leaked fluid. If the battery fluid
should come in contact with your eyes, mouth, or skin, wash immediately with
water and consult a doctor. Battery fluid is corrosive and may possibly cause loss
of sight or chemical burns.
When one of the following problems occur, immediately turn off the power switch
and disconnect the electric plug from the outlet. (If you are using batteries,
remove all batteries from the instrument.) Then have the device inspected by
Yamaha service personnel.
- The power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged.
- It emits unusual smells or smoke.
- Some object has been dropped into the instrument.
- There is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument.
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.
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.

PSR-E443 Owner’s Manual
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 only the stand specified for the instrument. When attaching the stand or rack,
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 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 or
keyboard. 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.
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.
Make sure to discard used batteries according to local regulations.
NOTICE
To avoid the possibility of malfunction/ damage to the product, damage to data, or damage to other property, follow the notices below.
Handling and Maintenance
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.
When you use the instrument along with an application on your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch, we recommend that you set “Airplane Mode” to “ON” on that device in order to
avoid noise caused by communication.
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, damage to the internal components or unstable operation. (Verified operating temperature range: 5° – 40°C, or 41° – 104°F.)
Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.
When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.
Saving data
Some data items (page 34) are automatically saved as backup data in the internal memory even if you turn the power off. Saved data may be lost due to malfunction or incorrect
operation. Save important data to external device such as a USB flash memory (page 56).
To protect against data loss through media damage, we recommend that you save your important data onto two USB flash memories.

Power Requirements
Although the instrument will run either from an
optional AC adaptor or batteries, Yamaha recom-
mends use of an AC adaptor whenever possible. An
AC adaptor is more environmentally friendly than bat-
teries and does not deplete resources.
Using an AC Power Adaptor
1 Make sure that the power of the instrument is off
(display is blank, except for notation staff).
2 Connect the AC adaptor to the power supply jack.
3 Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.
Notice for the AC adaptor
Depending on your particular locale, the AC adaptor
having a separable plug should be used. In this case,
make sure to follow the explanations below for your
safety.
If the plug is accidentally removed from the AC
adaptor
Without touching the metallic section, slide the plug
into place as shown below then push it in completely
until you hear the click sound.
• Use the specified adaptor (page 65) only. Using the
wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument
or overheating.
• This adaptor is for indoor use only. Do not expose the
instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet
conditions, or use it to hold any containers (such as
vases, bottles or glasses) containing liquids which
might spill into any openings.
• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC
outlet you are using is easily accessible. If some trou-
ble 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.

• 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.
Slide the plug as
indicated.
The shape of the
plug differs depend-
ing on locale.

Using Batteries
This instrument requires six “AA” size, Alkaline
(LR6)/Manganese (R6) batteries, or rechargeable
nickel-metal hydride batteries (rechargeable Ni-MH
batteries). The Alkaline batteries or rechargeable Ni-
MH batteries are recommended for this instrument,
since other types may result in poorer battery perfor-
mance.
Installing the batteries
1 Make sure that the power of the instrument is off
(display is blank, except for notation staff).
2 Open the battery compartment cover located on the
instrument’s bottom panel.
3 Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow
the polarity markings on the inside of the compart-
ment.
4 Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it
locks firmly in place.
When battery power becomes too low for proper oper-
ation, 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.
Setting the battery type
After installing the new batteries then turning the
power on, make sure to set the Battery Type to
Rechargeable type or not. For details, refer to page 55.
Checking the power status on the
display
Power source on the display
You can confirm the power source at the left corner of
the display.
When is shown, the power is supplied from the
AC power adaptor. When is shown, the power is
supplied from the batteries. When the AC power adap-
tor is connected with the batteries installed, the power
is supplied from the AC power adaptor and the
indication is shown.
Remaining battery power indication
You can confirm the approximate amount of remain-
ing battery power at the top left of the display.
• When using Ni-MH batteries, follow the instructions that
came with the batteries. Use only the specified charger
device when charging.
• Connecting or disconnecting the power adaptor with bat-
teries installed may turn the power off, resulting in loss of
data being recorded or transferred at the time.
• 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.
Indicates that the power will be turned off
immediately. When rechargeable batteries are
used, this icon flashes before the power is
turned off.
Indicates that remaining power is insufficient
for operation. Before the power runs out,
replace all the batteries with new ones, or fully
recharged ones (when using rechargeable
types). Note that the instrument may not work
properly, including unusually soft volume and
poor sound quality when remaining power
becomes low.
Indicates that the remaining power is suffi-
cient.

Connecting Headphones or
External Audio Equipment
Any pair of stereo headphones with a 1/4” stereo
phone plug can be plugged in here for convenient
monitoring. The speakers are automatically shut off
when a plug is inserted into this jack.
The [PHONES/OUTPUT] jack also functions as an
external output. You can connect the [PHONES/OUT-
PUT] jack to a computer, keyboard amplifier, stereo
system, mixer, tape recorder, or other line-level audio
device to send the instrument’s output signal to that
device.
Connecting a Footswitch to the
[SUSTAIN] jack
You can produce a natural sustain as you play by
pressing an optional Footswitch plugged into the
[SUSTAIN] jack. Make sure that the footswitch plug
is properly connected to the [SUSTAIN] jack before
turning on the power.
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 experi-
ence any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a phy-
sician.
• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic com-
ponents, set all volume levels to the minimum, then turn
off the power for all components.
• When the instrument’s sound is output to an external
device, first turn on the power to the instrument, then to
the external device. Reverse this order when you turn the
power off.
• The sustain function does not affect split voices (page 18).
• Do not press the footswitch while turning the power on. Doing
this changes the recognized polarity of the footswitch, result-
ing in reversed footswitch operation.

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.
In most procedures described throughout this owner’s
manual the dial is recommended for selection simply
because it is the easiest and most intuitive selection
method. Please note however, that most items or values
that can be selected using the dial can also be selected
using the [+/YES] and [-/NO] buttons.
