Yamaha MT3X - PRECAUTIONS; Safety and Handling Precautions

PRECAUTIONS
1. AVOID EXCESSIVE HEAT, HUMIDITY, DUST
AND VIBRATION
Keep the unit away from locations where it is likely to
be exposed to high temperatures or humidity —
such as near radiators, stoves, etc. Also avoid loca¬
tions which are subject to excessive dust accumula¬
tion or vibration which could cause mechanical dam¬
age.
2. AVOID PHYSICAL SHOCKS
Strong physical shocks to the unit can cause dam¬
age. Handle it with care.
3. DO NOT OPEN THE CASE OR ATTEMPT
REPAIRS OR MODIFICATIONS YOURSELF
This product contains no user-serviceable parts.
Refer all maintenance to qualified YAMAHA service
personnel. Opening the case and/or tampering with
the internal circuitry will void the warranty.
4. MAKE SURE POWER IS OFF BEFORE
MAKING OR REMOVING CONNECTIONS
Always turn the power OFF prior to connecting or
disconnecting cables. This is important to prevent
damage to the unit itself as well as other connected
equipment.
5. HANDLE CABLES CAREFULLY
Always plug and unplug cables — including the AC
cord — by gripping the connector, not the cord.
6. CLEAN WITH A SOFT DRY CLOTH
Never use solvents such as benzine or thinner to
clean the unit. Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth.
7. ALWAYS USE THE CORRECT POWER
SUPPLY
The MT3X is sold with the appropriate power specifi¬
cations for the local area (power supply voltage and
power consumption are listed on the bottom panel).
If you move to a different area that might have a
different AC mains voltage, however, be sure to
check with your nearest YAMAHA dealer before us¬
ing your MT3X.
8. KEEP THE HEADS AND TAPE PATH CLEAN
To ensure consistent high performance and sound
quality from your MT3X, it is important to clean the
head and tape path regularly (ideally before each
recording session). To do this, use a cleaning kit
specifically designed for use with cassette tape
equipment.
9. USE ONLY HIGH-QUALITY CHROME
CASSETTE TAPE
The MT3X is designed for use with CrOz (chrome)
formulation tape, and will not provide proper per¬
formance with any other type of tape. Always choose
cassette tapes from a reliable manufacturer.
r
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency en¬
ergy and if not installed and used properly, that is, in strict
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, may
cause interference to radio and television reception. It has
been type tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B computing device in accordance with the specifica¬
tions in Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are de¬
signed to provide reasonable protection against such inter¬
ference in a residential installation. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular in¬
stallation. If this equipment does cause interference to
rado 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 measures:
Reorient the receiving antenna.
Relocate the computer with respect to the receiver.
Move the computer away from the receiver.
Plug the computer into a different outlet so that com¬
puter and receiver are on different branch circuits.
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an
experienced radio/television technician for additional sug¬
gestions. The user may find the following booklet prepared
by the Federal Communications Commission helpful;
"How to identify and Resolve Radlo-TV interfernce
problem". This booklet is available from the U.S. Govern¬
ment Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402, Stock No.
