Yamaha TX 816 - Precautions

PRECAUTIONS
NOTE:
Read
this
section
throughly
before
setting
up
your
TX816.
This unit
uses
state-of-the-art
computer
technology
which,
though
outstandingly
durable
and
reliable,
requires
certain
working
conditions
in
order
to carry
our
its
so-
phisticated
functions
efficiently
and
accurately.
Avoid
placing
the TX816
in
direct
sunlight.
Any
extremes
of
temperatures
should
LOCATION
also
be
avoided,
as
they
can
cause errors
in
data storage
and
transmission.
The
microcomputer
circuitry
employed
in
the TF1
FM
tone
generating
module
is
de-
signed
to
function
best within
a "normal"
temperature
range. If
you
are
using
your
TX816
in
temperatures
over
40 deg.C
(for example,
at
an
outdoor
concert in
a hot
climate)
it is
recommended
that
you use a
cooling
fan
to keep
it
at a lower
tem-
perature.
Extremely
high
humidity
or dry
conditions
shiuld
be
avoided,
as should
excessive
dust
or vibrations.
The TX816
performs
as efficiently
onstage
as it
does in a
studio-
-provided
you
treat
it as
you would
a fine
automobile-
-with
care
and
caution.
Ensure
that
the
ventilation
grills
on
the
upper
and
lower
surface
of
the TX816
are
uncovered
so
that
air may
circulate
freely
to eliminate
any risk
of
overheating.
It's
also
advicable
to
set the TX81
6
at
a convenient
height for
you to
operate.
You
should
be
easily
able
to reach
the
switches
on
the
front
panel, as
these
may
be
used
constantly
during
an
editing
session.
You
should
also ensure
that
you can
get a
good front-on
view
of the LED
indicator
on
the front
panel of
each TF1.
If
you
look
at them
from
too great
an
angle,
you may
miss
parts of
the LED
Display.
If you
intend
to
experiment
with
different
MIDI
connection
configurations
(this
can
be highly
creative
and
rewarding)
you will
also require
easy access
to the
rear
of
the unit,
as
it is
preferable
not to
move
the
unit while
it
is switched
on.
The MIDI
rack
frame
is built
to the
internationally
standard
19"
(480mm)
width,
so for
permanent
installation
your
TX81
6 may
easily
be rack mounted
in
a studio.
To
remove
dirt
or
fingermarks
from
the
exterior
paneling
of the
TX816
it is
best to
use a soft,
dry cloth
that will
not
shed
any
fluff.
It is
not
advisable
to
use any
solvents
such
as benzine
or
thinners.
Do
not
use
any
aerosol
sprays
near this
unit-
-they
can
get
into
the
circuitry
and prevent
accurate
storage
and
transmission
of
data.
CLEANING
THE
EXTERIOR
PANELING
The
TX816
contains
innumerable
innumerable
digital
circuits.
It
may
cause
static
EFFECTS
ON
OTHER
interference
with
radios
or
televisions
in close
proximity.
It
is advised
that
you keep
ELECTRICAL
these
types of
equipment
as far away
from
the
TX81
6 as
is
coknveniently
possible.
