USAGE AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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 GFX-8.
• Power requirements
• The GFX-8 is powered by the supplied AC adapter .
• To prevent malfunction and safety hazards, Do not use any
other kind of AC adapter.
• When using the GFX-8 in an area with a different line
voltage, please consult your local ZOOM distributor about
acquiring a proper AC adapter.
• Environment
Avoid using your GFX-8 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 GFX-8 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 GFX-8 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 GFX-8 and all
other equipment before connecting or disconnecting any
cables. Also make sure to disconnect all cables and the AC
adapter before moving the GFX-8.
Usage Precautions
• Electrical interference
For safety considerations, the GFX-8 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 GFX-8, as
the possibility of interference cannot be ruled out entirely.
With any type of digital control device, the GFX-8 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 GFX-8. 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.
