death could result.

This symbol indicates explanations about dangerous

matters. If users ignore this symbol and handle the

device the wrong way, bodily injury and damage to

the equipment could result.

Please observe the following safety tips and precautions to

ensure hazard-free use of the G2.1u.

Power requirements

Since power consumption of this unit is fairly high, we

recommend the use of an AC adapter whenever

possible. When powering the unit from batteries, use

only alkaline types.

[AC adapter operation]

• Be sure to use only an AC adapter which supplies 9 V DC,

300 mA and is equipped with a "center minus" plug

(Zoom AD-0006). The use of an adapter other than the

speciﬁed type may damage the unit and pose a safety

hazard.

• Connect the AC adapter only to an AC outlet that supplies

the rated voltage required by the adapter.

•When disconnecting the AC adapter from the AC outlet,

always grasp the adapter itself and do not pull at the cable.

• During lightning or when not using the unit for an

extended period, disconnect the AC adapter from the AC

outlet.

[Battery operation]

• Use four conventional IEC R6 (size AA) batteries

(alkaline).

• The G2.1u cannot be used for recharging.

•Pay close attention to the labelling of the battery to make

sure you choose the correct type.

•When not using the unit for an extended period, remove

the batteries from the unit.

• If battery leakage has occurred, wipe the battery

compartment and the battery terminals carefully to

remove all remnants of battery ﬂuid.

•While using the unit, the battery compartment cover

should be closed.

Environment

To prevent the risk of ﬁre, electric shock or

malfunction, avoid using your G2.1u in environments

where it will be exposed to:

• Extreme temperatures

• Heat sources such as radiators or stoves

•High humidity or moisture

• Excessive dust or sand

• Excessive vibration or shock

Handling

•Never place objects ﬁlled with liquids, such as vases, on

the G2.1u since this can cause electric shock.

•Do not place naked ﬂame sources, such as lighted candles,

on the G2.1u since this can cause ﬁre.

• The G2.1u is a precision instrument. Do not exert undue

pressure on the keys and other controls. Also take care not

to drop the unit, and do not subject it to shock or excessive

pressure.

•Take care that no foreign objects (coins or pins etc.) or

liquids can enter the unit.

Connecting cables and input and output

jacks

You should always turn off the power to the G2.1u and

all other equipment before connecting or disconnecting

any cables. Also make sure to disconnect all connection

cables and the power cord before moving the G2.1u.

Alterations

Never open the case of the G2.1u or attempt to modify

the product in any way since this can result in damage

to the unit.

Volume

Do not use the G2.1u at a loud volume for a long time

since this can cause hearing impairment.

Usage Precautions

Electrical interference

For safety considerations, the G2.1u has been designed to

provide maximum protection against the emission of

electromagnetic radiation from inside the device, and protection

from external interference. However, equipment that is very

susceptible to interference or that emits powerful

electromagnetic waves should not be placed near the G2.1u, as

the possibility of interference cannot be ruled out entirely.

With any type of digital control device, the G2.1u included,

electromagnetic interference can cause malfunctioning and can

corrupt or destroy data. Care should be taken to minimize the

risk of damage.

Cleaning

Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the G2.1u. If necessary, slightly

moisten the cloth. Do not use abrasive cleanser, wax, or solvents

(such as paint thinner or cleaning alcohol), since these may dull

the ﬁnish or damage the surface.

Please keep this manual in a convenient place for

future reference.
