DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY
We, TEAC EUROPE GmbH. Bahnstrasse 12, 65205
Wiesbaden-Erbenheim, Germany declare in own
responsibility, the TEAC product described in this
manual is in compliance with the corresponding
technical standards.
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
ampliers) 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 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
specied by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving
the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from
tip-over.
• 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.
WARNING
• Products with Class ! construction are equipped
with a power supply cord that has a grounding
plug. The cord of such a product must be plugged
into an AC outlet that has a protective grounding
connection.

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.

Maximizing the clock generator accuracy
The OCXO (oven-controlled crystal oscillator) has extremely high
clock precision and can generate stable clock, but the following
precautions should be observed.
One characteristic of OCXOs is that they require a long time
to stabilize after power is supplied. This results because of the
initial fluctuation that is characteristic of crystal oscillators.
In order to achieve the best performance of an OCXO, we
recommend that you do not interrupt its power supply during
use.
Moreover, provide the unit with power for a long time so that
the internal oscillator is stable before calibrating it. This will
increase frequency precision. (See “Calibrating the internal oscillator” on page 27.)

5 – Reference redundancy function
This unit has two inputs each for video reference and word
clock signals, and it supports redundancy in order to prevent
problems caused by external clock interruptions.
Furthermore, if both reference clocks are interrupted, the
HOLD OVER function will become active. The HOLD OVER
function uses the internal clock and sustains the input reference
frequency as much as possible to generate the clock. Even when
redundancy is off, the HOLD OVER function will become active
to provide backup reference if the reference clock is interrupted.
When using the reference redundancy function you can select
the following combinations of primary and secondary reference
clock sources.

Calibrating the internal oscillator
The importance of calibration
This unit has an OCXO (oven-controlled crystal oscillator) that
provides 0.01ppm high-precision frequency output. However,
every clock generator, including this one, can normally be
expected to change over time.
In order to enable continued use with high-performance, this
unit has a function for calibrating the internal oscillator.
If you connect and input a 10MHz signal generated from
a GPS signal or a PPS signal, for example, to the dedicated
CALIBRATION INPUT
