and damage to the equipment

Please observe the following safety tips and precautions
to ensure hazard-free use of the GM-200.
• Power requirements
Warning Since power consumption of this unit is fairly
high, we recommend the use of an AC adapter
whenever possible. When powering the unit from
a battery, use only an alkaline type.
[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 Powered Operation ]
• Use six IEC R6 (size AA) 1.5V batteries
(alkaline).
• The GM-200 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
Caution Avoid using your GM-200 in environments where
it will be exposed to:
• Extreme temperature
• High humidity or moisture
• Excessive dust or sand
• Excessive vibration or shock
• Handling
Caution
Since the GM-200 is a precision electronic device,
avoid applying excessive force to the switches and
buttons. 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 GM-200 or attempt to
Caution
modify the product in any way since this can
result in damage to the unit.
Connecting cables and input and
•
output jacks
Caution
You should always turn off the power to the GM-
200 and all other equipment before connecting or
disconnecting any cables. Also make sure to
disconnect all cables and the AC adapter before
moving the GM-200.
Usage Precautions
• Electrical interference
For safety considerations, the GM-200 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 GM-200, as the
possibility of interference cannot be ruled out
entirely.
With any type of digital control device, the GM-200
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 GM-200. 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.
