Section 2 Installation
Most MTR-90III units are unpacked and tested by local Otari dealers making
the following unpacking and checkout procedures unnecessary.
The MTR-90III Recorder, CB-147 Remote Control Unit, logic and power
cables, brackets and other related items are shipped partially assembled.
Open the crates carefully and save packing materials at least until proper
operation has been verified. Connect the power and test the system only after
unpacking all components and assembling them according to the
instructions.
The MTR-90III weighs approximately 200 kg (400 pounds). At least two
strong people should work together during unpacking and the initial setup to
avoid physical strain and to ensure gentle handling of the equipment.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If serious problems are apparently caused by shipping
damage, whether concealed or obvious, a claim must be filed with the
delivering airline, freightline or other carrier, and Otari or the nearest Otari
representative must be notified. Retain all packing materials for evidence in
damage claims. Failure to do so may weaken any claims! To replace any parts
under warranty, obtain a return authorization form from Otari or its
representative. Do not attempt to apply power or operate the machine until
proper repairs have been completed.
