This symbol indicates explanations about dangerous
matters. If users ignore this symbol and handle the
Warning device incorrectly, bodily injury and damage to the
equipment could result.
Please observe the following safety tips and precautions to
ensure hazard-free use of the PS-04.
Power requirements
Since power consumption of this unit is fairly high, we
recommend the use of an AC adapter whenever possible.
Caution
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.
• 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 PS-04 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
Avoid using your PS-04 in environments where it will be
exposed to:
Warning
• Extreme temperature
• High humidity or moisture
• Excessive dust or sand
• Excessive vibration or shock
Handling
Since the PS-04 is a precision electronic device, avoid
applying excessive force to the switches and buttons.
Warning
Also take care not to drop the unit, and do not subject it
to shock or excessive pressure.
Alterations
Never open the case of the PS-04 or attempt to modify the
product in any way since this can result in damage to the
Warning
unit.
Connecting cables and input and output jacks
You should always turn off the power to the PS-04 and all
other equipment before connecting or disconnecting any
Warning
cables. Also make sure to disconnect all cables and the
AC adapter before moving the PS-04.
Usage Precautions
• Electrical interference
For safety considerations, the PS-04 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 PS-04, as
the possibility of interference cannot be ruled out entirely.
With any type of digital control device, the PS-04 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 PS-04. 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.
