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 H2. 
 
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 two conventional IEC R6 (size AA) batteries 
(alkaline). 
• The H2 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 H2 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 H2 since this can cause electric shock.
• Do not place naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, 
on the H2 since this can cause fire.
• The H2 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 H2 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 H2.  
 
Alterations 
 
Never open the case of the H2 or attempt to modify the 
product in any way since this can result in damage to 
the unit. 
 
 
Volume 
 
Do not use the H2 at a loud volume for a long time 
since this can cause hearing impairment.   
 
Usage Precautions
 
Electrical interference 
 
For safety considerations, the H2 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 H2, as the possibility of 
interference cannot be ruled out entirely.
With any type of digital control device, the H2 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 H2. 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.
