Precautions
On safety
Should any solid object of liquid fall
into the unit, unplug the unit and
have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any
further.
To unplug the AC power adadptor,
pull it out by grasping the plug.
Never pull the cord itself.
Do not put any foreign object into
the DC IN 4.5 V (external power
input) jack.
On power sources
For AC operation: Use only the
recommended AC power adaptor.
Do not use any other AC power
adaptor as it may damage the unit.
For the car battery operation: Use
the car battery cord DCC-E245 (not
supplied).
• When the unit is not to be used for
an extended period of time, be sure
to disconnect the power source
(batteries, AC power adaptor, car
battery cord etc.) from the unit.
• The unit is not disconnected from
the AC power source (mains) as long
as it is connected to the wall outlet,
even if the unit itself is turned off.
On batteries
Do not charge the dry batteries.
Do not carry the dry batteries with
coins or other metallic objects. It can
generate heat if the positive and
negative terminals of the batteries
are accidentally contacted by a
metallic object.
• When you are not going to use the
unit for a long time, remove the
batteries to avoid damage from
battery leakage and corrosion.
On tapes longer than 120
minutes
Do not use cassette tapes with playing
time of over 120 minutes to record
important material since such tapes
are subject to the following problems:
Sound distortion.
Unstable tape speed after repeated
AMS, rewinding, fast-forwarding,
cueing or reviewing operations.
Incorrect writing and erasing of Start
IDs.
On unevenly or tightly
wound tapes
When making important recordings,
fast forward the tape to the end first,
and then rewind it to the top before
recording. Recording on an unevenly
wound tape or a tape wound
excessively tight may result in poor
recording.
On moisture condensation
If the unit is brought directly from a
cold to a warm location, moisture may
condense inside the unit. In such a
condition, the tape may adhere to the
head drum and can be damaged, or
the unit may not operate properly.
Although this unit has a safety device
to prevent damage from moisture
condensation, remove the DAT
cassette from the unit when “DEW”
flashes on the display of the main unit
or the { indicator flashes on the
display of the remote control. When
this indicator comes on, this unit
enters the low-power consumption
mode and “DEW” will appear in the
display. Leave the unit alone for a
while and then operate the unit as
described below:
