1. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

• The power supply cords supplied with the D-2008SP and D-2012C are designed for exclusive use with each equipment. Never use them with other equipment.

• Use the unit in locations where the temperature is between +5 to +40 °C (41 to 104 ºF) and the humidity is less than 90 % (no condensation).

• The unit is a precision audio component. To prevent failure, do not give the unit strong shocks or vibrations.

• When mounting the D-2008SP in an equipment rack, be sure to mount a perforated panel larger than 1U size*1above and below the unit.

• Do not position the heat-generating component such as a power amplifier immediately below the D-2008SP in the rack even if the perforated panel is mounted between them. Also, keep such components away from each other so that the ambient temperature around the D-2008SP should not exceed +40 ºC (104 ºF). Failure to do so may shorten the product life.

• When mounting the D-2012C in an equipment rack, be sure to mount a perforated panel larger than 1U size*1above the unit.

• Do not position the heat-generating component such as a power amplifier immediately below the D-2012C in the rack. Also, keep such components away from each other so that the ambient temperature around the D2012C should not exceed +40 ºC (104 ºF). Failure to do so may shorten the product life.

• Do not place objects on the motorized faders of the D-2012C as these faders move up and down automatically through operation such as preset memory recall.

• The largest-scale system can be configured with 4 D-2008SPs, 4 D-2012Cs, and 1 PC. When using the multiple D-2008SP or D-2012C units, their firmware versions must be 3.0.0 or later, and the D-2000 Setting software version must be 3.0.0 or later. For details on how to check their versions, read the separate Setting Software Instructions, "Menu item description." Firmware of the D-2008SP and D-2012C can be updated using the Setting Software ver. 3.0.0 or later*2. For details on how to update the firmware, read the separate Setting Software Instructions, "Method to Enable Communications between the PC and the Unit." The latest versions of the D-2000 Setting Software and Instruction Manual are made available on the TOA product data download site (http://www.toa-products.com/international/).

• To clean, be sure to first switch off the unit's power, then wipe with a dry cloth. When the unit gets very dirty, use a cloth damped in a neutral cleanser. Never use benzene, thinner, chemically-treated cleaning cloth, or alcohol because such volatile liquids could deform or discolor the unit.

• About the wear-and-tear items The D-2012C's following parts are wear-and-tear items. Replace them when they approach the end of their useful lives, which vary depending on the environments or conditions of use. Note that the replacement of such wear-and-tear parts is chargeable even when the unit is within the valid guarantee period.

· Motor fader: 30000 reciprocations (Approx. 6 years)

· Rotary encoder: 30000 rotations (Approx. 12 years)

*11U size = 44.5 mm or 1.75" (standard size) *2To update the D-2012C firmware ver. 2.0.0, use the dedicated "D-2012C Firmware Updater Software

Program." For details on how to update the firmware, refer to the separate installation manual.
