Environmental Precautions
— 1 —
Your TEAC Deck is well constructed, and
adaptable to a wide range of environmental
conditions. However, it is still an electro 
mechanical device with limits to be con 
sidered. To prolong the life of your new
deck, pay attention to the following factors
when you install and operate the deck.
High Humidity Locations
Will shorten equipment life from corrosion

and possible fungus growth on printed

Dusty Environments
Your TEAC deck is a precision machine and
as such should be protected from dust.
Operation in a dusty atmosphere will result
in excessive tape head wear. Your tapes
should also be kept dust-free.
Fluctuation of the Supply Voltage
Should you be in an area where line voltage
fluctuation is severe, the use of a voltage
regulator may be advisable.
Constant High Temperature Locations
Do not operate this unit near heating
appliances, on top of an amplifier, or in
direct sunlight. Temperature extremes will
ultimately not only cause degradation of
sound quality, but will also shorten the
useful operating life of the unit. Avoid
temperatures higher than 38°C (1 00°F).
Extreme Low Temperature: In such loca 
tions, lubricants will harden and satisfactory
operation cannot be expected. Operation
will be sluggish and an overload may be
placed on the drive motor. Avoid temper 
atures lower than 5°C (40°F).
