SAFETY PRECAUTIONS / Usage Precautions

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:

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 equipment could result.

Please observe the following safety tips and precautions to ensure hazard-free use of the G1u.

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 G1u 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 G1u 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 G1u since this can cause electric shock.

• Do not place naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on the G1u since this can cause fire.

• The G1u 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 G1u 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

G1u.

Alterations

Never open the case of the G1u or attempt to modify the product in any way since this can result in damage to the unit.

Volume

Do not use the G1u at a loud volume for a long time since this can cause hearing impairment.

Usage Precautions

Electrical interference

For safety considerations, the G1u 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 G1u, as the possibility of interference cannot be ruled out entirely.

With any type of digital control device, the G1u 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 G1u. 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.

Patch change at bypass/mute

When you press both [W]/[Q] foot switches together while playing your instrument, the sound may change momentarily just before the bypass/mute condition is activated.

This is because the G1u switches to the next higher or lower patch when one of the foot switches is pressed slightly earlier.

( W h e n y o u c a n c e l t h e b y p a s s / m u t e condition, the original patch number will be active again.)

This behavior is not a defect. It is due to the very high speed at which the G1u responds to patch switching. To prevent the sound change caused by the above condition, do not produce sound with your instrument until the bypass/mute condition is fully established.

Using the G1u as an Audio Interface

When the G1u is connected to a computer via the USB port, it can function as an audio interface for the computer. The operating environment conditions for this type of use are as follows. n

Compatible operating systems

• Windows XP SP2 or later

Windows Vista or later

• MacOS X (version 10.4.6 or later/10.5 or later n

Quantization

16-bit n

Sampling frequencies

32 kHz / 44.1 kHz / 48 kHz

With the operating systems listed above, the G1u will function as an audio interface simply by connecting the USB cable. There is no need to install any special driver software.

However, the supplied dedicated ASIO driver allows low-latency audio recording and playback.

HINT

If the G1u is connected to a computer via a USB cable, and the AC adapter is not connected, power will be supplied via the

USB port.

In this condition, the sound of a guitar connected to the [INPUT] jack of the G1u can be processed with the effects of the G1u and then be recorded on the audio tracks of a DAW (Digital Audio

Workstation) software application running on the computer.

At the same time, the [OUTPUT] jack of the G1u carries the playback sound from the audio tracks of the DAW application, mixed with the guitar sound processed by the effects of the G1u.

For details on recording and playback steps, refer to the documentation of the DAW application.

NOTE

· Also when using the G1u as an audio interface, the signal after effect processing is always available directly at the [OUTPUT] jack (allowing use of the unit as an effect).

· If the DAW application has an echo back function (input signal during recording is supplied directly to an output), this must be disabled when using the G1u. If recording is carried out with this function enabled, the output signal will sound as if processed by a flanger effect.

· Use a high-quality USB cable and keep the connection as short as possible. If power is supplied to the G1u via a USB cable that is more than 3 meters in l e n g t h , t h e l o w v o l t a g e w a r n i n g indication may appear.

About ZFX Tools

T h e G 1 u i s s u p p l i e d w i t h a s o f t w a r e application called ZFX Tools which comprises editor/librarian functions and recording functions.

When the G1u is connected

DAW software to a computer via USB,

ZFX Tools can be used to import patch data from the

G1u to the computer for

DAW software editing and storage, and the signal from the G1u can be recorded on the computer.

Troubleshooting

• No power

Refer to "Turn power on" on page 6.

• Reverb effect does not operate

While a rhythm pattern is playing, the reverb effect is not available. Stop the rhythm pattern first (g p. 10).

• Delay effect does not operate

While the looping function is being used, the delay effect is not available. Stop the looping function first (g p. 12).

• Patch switching does not change the

ZOOM G1u

sound

Is the patch selection method of the G1u set to

"pre-select" (g p. 18)? Turn power off and then on again to return to normal operation.

• High level of noise

Is ZOOM AC adapter being used? Be sure to use only an adapter for 9 V DC, 300 mA with center minus plug (ZOOM AD-0006).

• Battery life is short

Are manganese batteries being used? Continuous operation time is about 10 hours with alkaline batteries.
