ZOOM 707II GUITAR

In this manual, symbols are used to highlight warnings and
cautions for you to read so that accidents can be prevented.
The meanings of these symbols are as follows:

Please observe the following safety tips and precautions to
ensure hazard-free use of the 707II. 

• 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 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 operation]

• Use four conventional IEC R6 (size AA) batteries (alkaline). 
• The 707II 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 707II in environments where it will be
exposed to: 

• Extreme temperature 
•  High humidity or moisture 
•  Excessive dust or sand 
•  Excessive vibration or shock 

• Handling 

Since the 707II 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 707II or attempt to modify the
product in any way since this can result in damage to the
unit. 

• Connecting cables and input and output

jacks 

You should always turn off the power to the 707II and all
other equipment before connecting or disconnecting any
cables. Also make sure to disconnect all cables and the AC
adapter before moving the 707II. 

• Electrical interference 

For safety considerations, the 707II 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 707II,
as the possibility of interference cannot be ruled out entirely.

With any type of digital control device, the 707II 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 707II. 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.
