Please observe the following safety tips and precautions to
ensure safe use of this unit
Power considerations
Since power consumption of this unit is high, we recom-
mend the use of an AC adapter. If you use batteries, use
alkaline batteries.
AC adapter operation
• Always use a DC9V center minus 500-mA AC adapter
(ZOOM AD-16). Use of an adapter other than that speci-
fied could damage the unit or cause malfunction and pose
a safety hazard.
• Always connect the AC adapter to an AC outlet that
supplies the rated voltage required by the adapter.
• When disconnecting the AC adapter from an AC outlet,
always grasp the adapter itself.
• During lightning or when not using the unit for an
extended period, disconnect the AC adapter from the
AC outlet.
Battery operation
• Use 4 conventional 1.5-V AA batteries (or nickel metal
hydride batteries).
• Carefully read the safety indications on the batteries
before use.
• When not using the unit for an extended period, remove
the batteries from the unit.
• If battery leakage should occur, thoroughly wipe the
battery compartment and the battery terminals to
remove battery fluid.
• Close the battery compartment cover when using the
G2Nu/G2.1Nu.
Use environment considerations
Avoid using the unit in any of the following conditions
that could cause malfunction.
● Extremely hot or cold places
● Near heaters and other heat sources
● Places that are extremely humid or exposed to splash-
ing water
● Sandy or dusty places
● Places with lots of vibrations
Handling
• Never put objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on
the unit since this could cause electric shock.
• Never place candles and other burning objects on top of
the G2Nu/G2.1Nu. Doing so could cause a fire.
2 2
• The G2Nu/G2.1Nu is a precision instrument. Do not
apply excessive force to the switches and other controls.
Exposing the unit to strong impacts, including applying
excessive force, dropping it or bumping it, could cause
it to break.
• Do not put foreign objects, including coins and wires, or
liquids, including water, soft drinks and alcohol, into the
G2Nu/G2.1Nu.
Connecting cables and input and output jacks
You should always turn OFF the power to the unit and all
other equipment before connecting or disconnecting any
cables. Also make sure to disconnect all connection cables
and the AC adapter before moving the unit.
Alterations
Never open the case or attempt to modify the product in
any way since this can result in damage to the unit. Zoom
Corporation will not take responsibility for any damage to
the unit caused by alterations.
Volume
Do not use the G2Nu/G2.1Nu at a loud volume for a long
time since this could cause hearing impairment.
Usage precautions
Electrical interference with other equipment
In consideration of safety, the G2Nu/G2.1Nu has been designed
to provide maximum protection against the emission of electro-
magnetic radiation from the device and to minimize external
electromagnetic interference. However, equipment that is very
susceptible to interference or that emits powerful electromag-
netic waves should not be placed near the G2Nu/G2.1Nu, as
interference could occur. In such a case, place the G2Nu/G2.1Nu
and the other equipment sufficiently far apart.
With any type of digital control device, the G2Nu/G2.1Nu
included, electromagnetic interference could cause malfunction
and could corrupt or destroy data. Please use caution.
Cleaning
Use a soft cloth to clean the panels if they become dirty. If neces-
sary, slightly moisten the cloth. Never use cleansers, wax, or sol-
vents such as paint thinner, benzene or alcohol.
Malfunction
If the unit should malfunction, disconnect the AC adapter and
turn the power OFF immediately. Then, disconnect all other con-
nected cables.
Prepare information including the model name, serial number,
specific symptoms related to the malfunction, your name,
address and telephone number and contact the store where you
bought the unit or ZOOM support.
Please keep this manual in a convenient place for future
reference.
