4. देखभाल

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Yamaha EZ-250i keyboard, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• स्वच्छता: कीबोर्डचा पृष्ठभाग मऊ, कोरड्या कापडाने पुसून टाका. हट्टी घाणीसाठी, थोडासा डी वापराamp कापडाने पुसून टाका आणि नंतर पूर्णपणे वाळवा. अपघर्षक क्लीनर किंवा सॉल्व्हेंट्स टाळा.
• स्टोरेज: Store the keyboard in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity. If not in use for extended periods, consider covering it with a dust cover.

5. समस्या निवारण

If you encounter issues with your EZ-250i, refer to the following common solutions:

• Keyboard Not Powering On: Ensure the AC adapter is securely connected or that fresh batteries are installed correctly.
• आवाज नाही: Check the master volume level. Ensure headphones are not plugged in if you expect sound from the speakers.
• Bundled Computer Game Not Starting: If the EZ-250i is connected to the computer and the game won't start, the Yamaha USB MIDI driver may not be selected as the preferred MIDI Music Playback Device in Windows. For Windows 2000/XP, navigate to My Computer/Control Panel/Sounds & Multimedia/Audio/MIDI Music Playback and select 'Yamaha USB OUT' as the default MIDI device.
• USB कनेक्टिव्हिटी समस्या: Ensure the USB cable is properly connected. For older operating systems, verify that the correct drivers are installed. Note that 64-bit drivers may not be available for very old units.
