IMPORTANT SAFE1TY- IInNtSrToRdUuCcTtIOioNnS Software Application Guide Since much of the FireOne's control surface operation pertains directly to your DAW software, TASCAM has prepared an Application Guide on using the FireOne with a number of different DAW programs. This Application Guide is available online in PDF format on the TASCAM Web site. To read it, you will need an application capable of displaying PDF files, such as the Adobe Acrobat Reader (version 4 or above), available as a free download from the Adobe Web site at www.adobe.com. Updates Since software applications and operating systems often evolve and develop after their initial release, we suggest you check the TASCAM site (www.tascam.com) regularly for updated FireOne drivers. FireWire connection notes NOTE Some manufacturers may use a different nomenclature to refer to their FireWire™ connections, such as Sony's "i.LINK", or simply "1394"). FireOne is supplied with a 2 m (6-foot) cable. If you wish to use a longer cable, the length should not be more than 3 m (9 feet) and the cable should be the best possible quality available to avoid data loss, which results in audio dropouts. While the IEEE 1394 standard permits devices to be "daisy-chained" via devices that contain more than one FireWire port, not all such configurations may work correctly, especially in the case of intermediate equipment being powered off. In any case where daisy-chaining is being used and one or more of the connected devices is not functioning properly, we strongly suggest recabling such that the FireOne is the only unit connected to the associated FireWire port or buss on the host computer. Always perform all FireWire connections and disconnections with the power to both the FireOne and the computer turned off. If connections are made or broken with power to the FireOne or computer turned on, this may result in your computer crashing, or "freezing" and possible loss of data. When turning the power of the FireOne on and off while it is connected to the computer, turn on the power before launching the DAW software, and quit the software before turning off the FireOne. FireOne comes with a high-quality 6-pin to 6-pin interface cable. We strongly suggest you use this cable, or one of equal quality, for optimum performance. NOTE If your computer possesses only a 4-pin type IEEE 1394 connector, you must use the FireOne's external AC adapter, as there is no bus power provided by a 4-pin connection. TASCAM FireOne
