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 or STANDBY/ON switch not in the ON position.
• The apparatus should be located close enough to the AC outlet so that
you can easily grasp the power cord plug at any time.
• The mains plug is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device
shall remain readily operable.
• 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.
Warning: Potentially hazardous situations such as fire and electric
shock which, if not avoided, can result in death or serious injury.
• If errors occur during use, discontinue use immediately and contact
your local dealer or our service department.
• Do not dismantle or modify the product. Failure to follow this
instruction may cause the product to malfunction, catch fire, generate
excessive heat,cause damage to the product or other problems. TEAC is

modification.
Caution: Hazardous situations which, if not avoided, will or can result
in minor or moderate injury or serious damage to the product.
• Do NOT supply DC power(phantom power) from outside to TM-60.
Failure to do so could damage the TM-60.
• Before connecting TM-60, set the mic input gain and volume to zero.
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 person’s 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 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.
Other cautions
• Do not install in the following types of places. Doing so could cause
malfunctions.
• Places with significant vibrations or that are otherwise unstable
• 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
• Avoid installing this unit on top of any heat-generating electrical device
such as a power amplifier.
• Do not let the unit become wet.
• 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.
• If you are experiencing problems with this product, contact TEAC for a
service referral. Do not use the product until it has been repaired.

Using the mic
CAUTION
This product is not compatible with phantom power. Before connecting
this product with a device that has a phantom power supply function,
always confirm that phantom power is turned off on that device. The
mic will be damaged if phantom power (external DC power supply) is
on.
This product uses one AA battery. Install one AA battery into the mic
before use.
NOTE
This product can be operated using manganese (1.5V), nickel-
metal hydride (1.2V) and lithium (1.5-1.8V) batteries. Using a nickel-
metal hydride battery with low-voltage, however, could change mic
characteristics slightly.
1. Turn the mic’s power switch off.
2. Hold the top of the mic, and turn the bottom of the mic to the left
until it can be removed.
3. Slide the bottom down to open the battery compartment.
4. Insert one AA battery into the battery compartment, aligning it with
the ¥ and ^ inside the compartment. (The top should be toward ¥.)
5. Slide the lower part up and turn it right until it will turn no more to
close the battery compartment.
6. Minimize the volume of the connected device and use a cable to
connect it and the XLR connector on this mic. If the connected device
has a phantom power supply function, turn its phantom power switch
off before connecting this mic to it.
7. Turn the mic’s power switch on. Adjust the volume of the connected
device as necessary.
CAUTION
Do not place the mic near a speaker or point it at a speaker. Doing this
might result in sudden loud noises caused by feedback. This could harm
your hearing or lead to other trouble.
