•Do not use the PA-30 if the power cord appears frayed or broken.
•Do not spill liquids into or on the PA-30 chassis. If the chassis becomes wet, allow it to dry thoroughly before reconnecting the unit.
•Allow sufficient space at the top, and bottom of the PA-30 to permit a flow of cooling air. Keep the unit away from radiators or others that produce heat.
•Never connect the PA-30 outputs to a battery, power supply or other voltage source. Do not short the output hot terminals together.
•The minimum allowable load impedance on each PA-30 output is 8 ohms in stereo mode or BTL mode. Connecting loads of lower impedance will result in current limiting and/or activation of the protection circuits.
•Before operating the PA-30, be certain that the MODE switch is set in accordance with the desired operational mode and output connection configuration (see the 'BTL Operation' section of this manual, page 9).
•Any unauthorized internal modification to the PA-30 will invalidate the warranty, and may result in hazardous conditions. Refer all servicing to a TEAC authorized TASCAM service center.
•Connect the PA-30 only to properly wired AC outlets. Make certain that the voltage is correct for the version of the unit that you are using (110 to 120 volts at 60 Hz for domestic USA).
AC Power Connection
The PA-30 requires a reliable source of single-phase power at 110 to 120 volts AC, 60 Hz (domestic US version). It has a two-prong, ungrounded AC cord, and may be connected to either two-prong or three-prong outlets.
If you have any doubt about the wiring of the outlet that you wish to use, it is wise to test it before making connections. Simple plug-in testers are available from a variety of electronics and hardware stores.
If an outlet appears to require repairs, consult a qualified electrician - and don't use it. An improperly- wired outlet may present a serious shock hazard.
For reference, Figure 1 shows the characteristics of a properly wired US standard three-prong wall outlet.

Voltage Conversion
Be sure to unplug the power cord from the AC outlet before repositioning the voltage converter switch.
1)Locate the voltage selector on the rear panel.
2)Using a flat-bladed screwdriver, set to the appropriate 120 V or 230 V position according to your area.
