SAFETY  PRECAUTIONS

cautions for you to read so that accidents can be prevented. 
The meanings of these symbols are as follows:

This  symbol  indicates  explanations  about 
extremely  dangerous  matters.  If  users 
ignore  this  symbol  and  handle  the  device 
incorrectly,  serious  injury  or  death  could 
result.

This  symbol  indicates  explanations  about 
dangerous  matters.  If  users  ignore  this 
symbol  and  handle  the  device  incorrectly, 
bodily  injury  and  damage  to  the  eq-uip
ment could result.

Please observe  the following  safety tips  and precau-
tions to ensure hazard-free use of the C-ZE1. 

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 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  A D-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 f rom  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  C-ZE1 cannot  be  used  for  recharging. 
•  Pay close  attention  to  the  labelling  of  the  battery  to 

make sure you choose the correct type. 

•  When  not u

  sing  the  unit f or a n e xtended p eriod, 

remove the batteries from the unit. 

•  If  battery l eakage  has o

  ccurred, w

  ipe t he  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 

To prevent the risk of fire, electric shock or malfunc -
tion,  avoid  using  your  C-ZE1 in  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  w

  ith  liquids,   such a s 

vases, on the  C-ZE1 since this can cause electric
shock.

•  Do not  place  naked  flame  sources,  such  as  lighted 

candles,  on  the  C-ZE1 since  this  can  cause fire. 

•  The  C-ZE1 is  a  precision  instrument.  Do  not 

exert  undue  pressure  on  the  keys  and  other  c o

   n -

trols. Also take care not to drop the unit, and do not 
subject  it  to  shock  or  excessive  pressure. 

•  Take  care  that  no  foreign  o bjects  ( coins o r  pins 

etc.) or liquids can enter the unit. 

Connecting cables and input and output jacks 

You  should  always  turn  off  the  power  to  th  e   C-ZE1

and all other equipment before connecting or 

disconnecting any cables. Also make sure to discon-
nect all connection cables and the power cord before 
moving the  C-ZE1.  

Alterations 

Never open the case of the C-ZE1 or attempt to 
modify the product in any way since this can result in 
damage to the unit. 
 

Volume 

Do  not  use  the  C-ZE1 at  a  loud  volume  for  a 
long time since this can cause hearing impairment.   

Usage Precautions

Electrical interference 

For safety considerations, the  C-ZE1 has been designed 
to provide maximum protection against the emission of elec-
tromagnetic radiation from inside the device, and protection 
from  external  interference.  However,  equipment  that  is  very 
susceptible  to  interference  or  that  emits  powerful  electro -
magnetic  waves  should  not  be  placed  near  the   C-ZE1,
as the possibility of interference cannot be ruled out entirely.

With  any  type  of  digital  control  device,  t h

   e   C-ZE1

included,  electromagnetic  interference  can  cause  malfunc -   
tioning  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   C-ZE1.  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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS / Usage Precautions

Terms Used in This Manual 

This section explains some important terms that are used throughout the C-ZE1  manual. 

•  Effect  module 

As  shown in the illustration above, a patch in the 

C-ZE1  can be thought of as a combination of 

up  to  eight   single   effects  each   such   effect   is 

referred to as an effect module. 

•  Effect  type

  

Some effect modules have several different effects 

which are referred to as effect types. For example, 

the  M O D U L ATI O N

  module  is  comprise d of 

chorus,  flanger,  pitch  shifter,  and  other  effect 

types. Only one of these can be selected at a time. 

•  Effect  parameter 

All  effect  modules  have  various  parameters  that 

can  be  adjusted.  These  are  called  effect  parameters 

or  simply  parameters. When  thinking of  an  effect 

module as a compact effect, the parameters change 

the  tone  and  effect  intensity  similar  to  the  knobs 

on the device. 

• Patch 

I

n  the C- ZE1,  effect  module  combinations 

are  stored  and  called  up  in  units  referred  to  as 

patches. A  patch  is  comprised  of  information 

about  the  on/off  status  and  effect  parameter 

settings used in each module.

 •   Bank 

A group of ten patches is called a bank. 

The memory of the  C-ZE1  comprises a total of 

8  banks,  labelled  with  letters A  to  d  (user-editable 

banks) and numbers 0 to 3 (read-only preset banks), 

as shown in the illustration at top right. 

•  Mode 

The  internal  status  of  the C-ZE1

 

is  referred 

to as the operation mode. The function of keys and 

controls  differs,  depending  on  the  respective 

mode.  Modes  of  the C-ZE1  include  play 

mode  for  selecting  and  playing  patches,  rhythm 

mode for playing  a rhythm pattern, edit mode  for 

modifying  effects,  and  store  mode  for  saving 

patches. 

When the batteries are 
getting low, the indication 
"bt" appears on the display.
 
When operating the 
C-ZE1 on batteries, it is 
advisable to disconnect the 
guitar cable plug from the 
[INPUT] jack when not using 
the unit, to conserve battery
