death could result.

This symbol indicates explanations about dangerous 
matters. If users ignore this symbol and handle the 
device the wrong way, bodily injury and damage to 
the equipment could result.

 

Please observe the following safety tips and precautions to 
ensure hazard-free use of the B2.1u. 

 

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 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 B2.1u 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 

 

To prevent the risk of fire, electric shock or 
malfunction, avoid using your B2.1u 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 with liquids, such as vases, on 

the B2.1u since this can cause electric shock.

• Do not place naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, 

on the B2.1u since this can cause fire.

• The B2.1u is a precision instrument. Do not exert undue 

pressure on the keys and other controls. Also take care not 
to drop the unit, and do not subject it to shock or excessive 
pressure. 

• Take care that no foreign objects (coins or pins etc.) or 

liquids can enter the unit. 

 

Connecting cables and input and output 
jacks 

 

You should always turn off the power to the B2.1u and 
all other equipment before connecting or disconnecting 
any cables. Also make sure to disconnect all connection 
cables and the power cord before moving the B2.1u.  

 

Alterations 

 

Never open the case of the B2.1u or attempt to modify 
the product in any way since this can result in damage 
to the unit. 

 

 

Volume 

 

Do not use the B2.1u at a loud volume for a long time 
since this can cause hearing impairment.   

 

Usage Precautions

 

Electrical interference 

 

For safety considerations, the B2.1u 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 B2.1u, as 
the possibility of interference cannot be ruled out entirely.

With any type of digital control device, the B2.1u 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 B2.1u. 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.
