Precautions - Yamaha TX 816 Owner's Manual

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.
