CD-RW402:

•The RC-RW402 remote control unit

•An AC power cord for your area

•A rack mounting kit (four screws and washers)

•A quick-start guide

The RC-402 remote control unit is a wired remote

control unit and draws its power from the main unit.

There is therefore no need to insert batteries into the

remote control unit.

If plug on the power cord supplied with your unit does

not match your local power fittings, double-check the

voltage rating on the back of the unit with your local

supply. If it does not match, or you are in any doubt,

contact your TASCAM representative, or a qualified

electrician, as appropriate. If the voltages match,

replace the cord with one appropriate for your area.

of precision equipment.
