B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed

to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential

installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency

energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual,

may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is

no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this

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.

a) Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

b) Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

c) Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to

which the receiver is connected.

d) Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

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

manufacturer’s 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-70D

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 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

TASCAM DR-70D 5

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.
