TO THE USER This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following countermeasures. a) Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna b) Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. c) Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit other from that to which the receiver is connected. d) Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for help. The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral trinagle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. E WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. R CAUTION Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by TEAC CORPORATION for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. 2 -- TASCAM CD-GT1 Important Safety Instructions 1 Read these instructions. 2 Keep these instructions. 3 Heed all warnings. 4 Follow all instructions. 5 Do not use this apparatus near water. 6 Clean only with dry cloth. 7 Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. 8 Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. 9 Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. 10 Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus. 11 Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer. 12 Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over. 13 Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time. 14 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped. · Do not expose this apparatus to drips or splashes. · Do not place any objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the apparatus. · Do not install this apparatus in a confined space such as a book case or similar unit. · The apparatus draws nominal non-operating power from the AC outlet with its POWER switch in the off position. The microphone input is unbalanced. Use an unbalanced microphone cable fitted with a 1/4" plug. Ni-MH batteries may exhibit reduced performance in an environment under 10ºC (50F). Also, if these batteries are not used for some time after charging, they may also exhibit reduced performance. The performance of alkaline batteries also depends on temperature and time since manufacture (low temperatures and longer periods mean shorter battery life, regardless of the battery indicator as shown on the display). Bear this in mind when operating the unit, and use freshly recharged Ni-MH batteries, new alkaline batteries or use an AC adapter if battery life seems inadequate. NOTES The CD-GT1 cannot play unfinalized CDR/RW discs. In addition, some finalized CD-R/RW discs may be unplayable on the CD-GT-1. To avoid the possibility of slight noise when you use the unit with the AC adapter, remove the batteries before connecting the AC adapter. If any batteries are accidentally left in the unit, you should always switch the unit off when changing between AC adapter and battery power.
