lowing the name of the control is the number of 
the control as shown on the front panel illustra-
tion, as well as that used in the appropriate sec-
tions describing the front and rear panels.
A special font is used for showing the messages 
that appear on the LCD display screen [11], for 
example:

Some functions of the RC-898 apply to all DTRS 
recorders, some only to DA-98 units, some to DA-
38 units and some to DA-88 units with the SY-88 
synchronizer board fitted. Wherever appropriate, 
this manual will use combinations of the follow-
ing symbols to show what operations may be per-
formed with the different units in the DTRS range:
This manual may also make references to the 
manuals of the DTRS units and the SY-88. In the 
case of the DA-98 and DA-38, these references 
will be made in terms of section numbers (e.g. 
“4.2” and “4-5” respectively). In the case of the 
DA-88 and SY-88, page numbers will be provided 
(e.g. “p16” and “p5-7” respectively).
1.4 Precautions and 
recommendations
As with every precision piece of electronic equip-
ment, common-sense precautions apply with the 
RC-898.
However, you should note the following points in 
particular with regard to the operation of the unit:
1.4.1 Environmental conditions
The RC-898 can be operated in most environ-
ments, but we suggest that you keep the environ-
mental conditions within the following limits:
Ambient temperature between 5
°
 and 35
°
 C 
(41
°
 and 95
°
 F).
Relative humidity should be between 30% and 
80% non-condensing
Avoid spraying polish, insecticides, etc. near 
the RC-898.
Avoid subjecting the RC-898 to jolts, sudden 
shocks, etc. 
TASCAM does not accept responsibility for dam-
age resulting from neglect or accident.
1.4.2 Battery backup
The RC-898 requires no power supply of its own, 
drawing its power from the DTRS units to which 
it is connected.
Location memories and configuration settings are 
stored using a battery backup system. The battery 
should provide power for several years of use. 
When the battery eventually degrades to the point 
where it cannot provide enough power to retain 
settings, the message 
Memory Error
 will 
be shown on the display screen (this can be 
removed by pressing the 
ESCAPE
 key). 
When this message appears, all memories (loca-
tion memories and configuration settings) are 
cleared and reset to the default settings.
If you see this message, contact your TASCAM 
dealer for details of battery replacement. Do not 
attempt to replace the battery by yourself.
1.4.3 Digital audio cables
When making connections between TASCAM 
digital audio units, always use genuine TASCAM 
cables. This applies particularly to any T-DIF dig-

WARNING
If you need to clean the unit, use a soft cloth, moistened if 
necessary with a little detergent and water. Do not use abra-
sive cleaners or solvents such as alcohol or thinner.
WARNING
If you have to return the unit for service or repair, use the 
original packing materials if possible. If the unit is to be 
transported to a recording location, etc., use a suitable trans-
port case with sufficient shock protection.
