■ PRECAUTIONS
◆ To avoid possible damage do not expose the unit to:
- direct sunlight
- very high or low temperature/humidity
- sand or excessive dust
* Especially inside a vehicle, the temperature may rise
excessively — do not leave the VA-7W in your parked
car on a sunny day!
◆ Before connecting/disconnecting cables or turning the unit
on/off, be sure to set the VOLUME control on the VA-7W to 0.
◆ The VA-7W can be operated with six SUM-1 batteries or an
optional AC adapter (YAMAHA PA-3). Use of a different AC
adapter may damage the unit! When using a different AC
adapter, make sure that its voltage and polarity (+
–)
matches the VA-7W.
◆ Always turn the unit off after use. To avoid battery leakage,
remove the batteries when the unit is not to be used for an
extended period of time.
◆ Neon and fluorescent lamps may induce noise. Keep the unit
away from such lighting sources.
◆ Handle the unit carefully — never apply excessive force to
the controls and avoid dropping the unit.

■ BATTERY REPLACEMENT
When the overall sound volume decreases or the sound becomes
distorted during battery operation, the batteries are exhausted and
should be replaced with new ones (SUM-1 x 6).
When the VA-7W is to be used for longer periods at a time, we
recommend the use of an optional AC adapter (YAMAHA PA-3).
* Be sure to insert the batteries according to the polarity
markings (+ and –).
* Replace the batteries with the power turned off.
