Please observe the following safety tips and precautions to
ensure hazard-free use of the MRS-8.
• Power requirements
Since power consumption of this unit is fairly high,
we recommend the use of an AC adapter whenever
Warning
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 MRS-8 cannot be used for recharging.

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.

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 MRS-8 since this can cause electric

shock.
• Do not place naked flame sources, such as lighted
candles, on the MRS-8 since this can cause fire.
The MRS-8 is a precision instrument. Do not exert
undue pressure on the keys and other controls. Also
Caution
take care not to drop the unit, and do not subject it to
shock or excessive pressure.
• Connecting cables and input and output jacks
You should always turn off the power to the MRS-8
and all other equipment before connecting or
Caution
disconnecting any cables. Also make sure to
disconnect all connection cables and the power cord
before moving the MRS-8.
• Alterations
Never open the case of the MRS-8 or attempt to
modify the product in any way since this can result in
Warning
damage to the unit.
• Volume
Do not use the MRS-8 at a loud volume for a long
time since this can cause hearing impairment.
