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
manufacturers 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
4
TASCAM DR-60DMKII
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 manufac-
turer, 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.
The apparatus draws nominal non-operating power from the AC outlet with
its POWER or STANDBY/ON switch not in the ON position.
The mains plug is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall
remain readily operable.
Caution should be taken when using earphones or headphones with the
product because excessive sound pressure (volume) from earphones or
headphones can cause hearing loss.
If you are experiencing problems with this product, contact TEAC for a service
referral. Do not use the product until it has been repaired.
CAUTION
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 should be located close enough to the AC outlet so that you
can easily grasp the power cord plug at any time.
If the product uses batteries (including a battery pack or installed batteries),
they should not be exposed to sunshine, fire or excessive heat.
CAUTION for products that use replaceable lithium batteries: there is danger
of explosion if a battery is replaced with an incorrect type of battery. Replace
only with the same or equivalent type.
CAUTIONS ABOUT BATTERIES
This product uses batteries. Misuse of batteries could cause a leak, rupture or
other trouble. Always abide by the following precautions when using batteries.
Never recharge non-rechargeable batteries. The batteries could rupture or
leak, causing fire or injury.
When installing batteries, pay attention to the polarity indications (plus/minus
(¥/^) orientation), and install them correctly in the battery compartment as
indicated. Putting them in backward could make the batteries rupture or leak,
causing fire, injury or stains around them.
When you store or dispose batteries, isolate their terminals with insulation
tape or something like that to prevent them from contacting other batteries
or metallic objects.
When throwing used batteries away, follow the disposal instructions indicated
on the batteries and the local disposal laws.
Do not use batteries other than those specified. Do not mix and use new
and old batteries or different types of batteries together. The batteries could
rupture or leak, causing fire, injury or stains around them.
Do not carry or store batteries together with small metal objects. The batteries
could short, causing leak, rupture or other trouble.
Do not heat or disassemble batteries. Do not put them in fire or water.
Batteries could rupture or leak, causing fire, injury or stains around them.
If the battery fluid leaks, wipe away any fluid on the battery case before
inserting new batteries. If the battery fluid gets in an eye, it could cause loss
of eyesight. If fluid does enter an eye, wash it out thoroughly with clean water
without rubbing the eye and then consult a doctor immediately. If the fluid
gets on a persons body or clothing, it could cause skin injuries or burns. If
this should happen, wash it off with clean water and then consult a doctor
immediately.
The unit power should be off when you install and replace batteries.
Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the unit for a long time.
Batteries could rupture or leak, causing fire, injury or stains around them. If the
TASCAM DR-60DMKII

battery fluid leaks, wipe away any fluid on the battery compartment before
inserting new batteries.
Do not disassemble a battery. The acid inside the battery could harm skin or
clothing.

Precautions for placement
and use
The environmental temperature operating range
of this unit is 0–40°C (32–104°F).
Do not install this unit in the following types of
locations. Doing so could degrade the sound
quality and/or cause malfunctions.
Places with significant vibrations
Near windows or other places exposed to
direct sunlight
Near heaters or other extremely hot places
Extremely cold places
Places with bad ventilation or high humidity
Very dusty locations
Locations exposed directly to rain or other
water
Do not place this unit on top of a power amplifier
or other device that generates heat.
If this unit is placed near a power amplifier or
other device with a large transformer, it could
cause a hum. If this occurs, increase the distance
between this unit and the other device.
This unit could cause color irregularities on a TV
screen or noise from a radio if used nearby. If this
occurs, use this unit farther away.
This unit might produce noise if a mobile phone
or other wireless device is used nearby to make
calls or send or receive signals. If this occurs,
increase the distance between this unit and those
devices or turn them off.
Beware of condensation
If the unit is moved from a cold to a warm place,
or used after a sudden temperature change, there
is a danger of condensation; vapor in the air could
condense on the internal mechanism, making
correct operation impossible. To prevent this, or if
this occurs, let the unit sit for one or two hours at the
new room temperature before using it.
Cleaning the unit
Use a dry soft cloth to wipe the unit clean. Do not
wipe with chemical cleaning cloths, thinner, alcohol
or other chemical agents. Doing so could damage
the surface or cause discoloration.
