CAUTION:@ 

Always keep the battery charged.
Storing a discharged battery can
cause permanent battery damage. 

To charge a sealed-type (MF) battery,
a special (constant-voltage) battery
charger is required. Using a conven-
tional battery charger will damage
the battery. If you do not have
access to a sealed-type (MF) battery
charger, have a Yamaha dealer
charge your battery. 

Do not charge the battery quickly.
Charge the battery for 10 hours at
1.8 amperes.
