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 R16.
Power requirements
Since power consumption of this unit is fairly high, we
recommend the use of an AC adapter whenever possible.
If you use batteries, use either alkaline or nickel-metal
hydride batteries.
AC adapter operation
• Be sure to use only a DC5V/1A/center plus AC adapter
(ZOOM AD-14). Use of an adapter other than that
specified could 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 on 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 six conventional size AA-1.5 volt batteries.
• The R16 cannot be used for recharging. Pay close
attention to the labeling of the batteries to make sure
you choose the correct ones.
• 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.
About grounding
Depending on installation conditions, a slight electrical
charge may be felt when touching a metal part of the
R16. If you wish to avoid this, ground the unit by connecting
the ground screw on the rear panel to a good external
ground.
• To prevent the risk of accidents, never use any of the
following for grounding:
• Water pipes (risk of electric shock)
• Gas pipe (risk of explosion)
• Telephone wiring ground or lightning arrestor
(risk of lightning strike)
Environment
Avoid using your R16 where it will be exposed to:
• Extreme temperature
• High humidity, moisture, or splashing water
• Excessive dust or sand
• Excessive vibration or shock
Handling
Never place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on
the R16 since this can cause electric shock.
The R16 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.
Connecting cables and input and output jacks
You should always turn off the power to the R16 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 R16.
Alterations
Never open the R16 case or attempt to modify the product
in any way since this can result in damage to the unit.
Volume
Do not use the R16 at a loud volume for a long time since
this could cause hearing impairment.
Electrical interference
For safety considerations, the R16 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 R16, as the possibility of interference
cannot be ruled out entirely.
With any type of digital control device, the R16 included,
electromagnetic interference could cause malfunction and could
corrupt or destroy data. Care should be taken to minimize the risk
of damage.
Cleaning
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the R16. 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.
Back up
The data on the R16 could be lost because of malfunction or
incorrect operation. Back-up your data.
