    222 remote control unit packed with the unit. Only use this remote control unit with the CC-222. Some notes and precautions Treat the CC-222 as you would any other piece of precision equipment. Avoid exposing it to extremes of temperature and humidity and avoid mechanical shocks and vibration.
  • Page 7: Rack-Mounting The Unit

    When transporting the unit, always use the original packing materials. For this reason, we strongly recom- mend that you save all the packing materials that came with the CC-222, in case you need to transport it in the future. In addition, when transporting the unit, you should tape the disc tray closed, using an adhesive tape that will not spoil the finish of the unit.
