Doing so could degrade the sound quality and/or 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 •• Make sure that the unit is mounted in a level position for correct operation. •• Do not place any object on the unit for heat dissipation. •• Avoid installing this unit on top of any heat-generating electrical device such as a power amplifier. 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. Cleaning the unit To clean the unit, wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth. Do not wipe with chemical cleaning cloths, benzene, paint thinner, ethyl alcohol or other chemical agents to clean the unit as they could damage the surface. 6 TASCAM US-1800
