This symbol indicates explanations about
dangerous matters. If users ignore this
symbol and handle the device incorrectly,
bodily injury and damage to the equip-
ment could result.
Please observe the following safety tips and precau-
tions to ensure hazard-free use of the G1N/G1XN.
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G1N/G1XN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 malfunc-
tion, avoid using your G1N/G1XN 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 G1N/G1XN since this can cause elec-
tric shock.
•Donotplacenakedflamesources,suchaslighted
candles, on the G1N/G1XN since this can cause
fire.
•TheG1N/G1XNisaprecisioninstrument.Donot
exert undue pressure on the keys and other con-
trols. 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 G1N/
G1XN and all other equipment before connecting or
disconnecting any cables. Also make sure to discon-
nect all connection cables and the power cord before
moving the G1N/G1XN.
Alterations
Never open the case of the G1N/G1XN or attempt to
modify the product in any way since this can result in
damage to the unit.
Volume
Do not use the G1N/G1XN at a loud volume for a
long time since this can cause hearing impairment.
Usage Precautions
Electrical interference
For safety considerations, the G1N/G1XN has been designed
to provide maximum protection against the emission of elec-
tromagnetic radiation from inside the device, and protection
fromexternalinterference.However,equipmentthatisvery
susceptible to interference or that emits powerful electro-
magnetic waves should not be placed near the G1N/G1XN,
as the possibility of interference cannot be ruled out entirely.
With any type of digital control device, the G1N/G1XN
included, electromagnetic interference can cause malfunc-
tioning 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G1N/G1XN.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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS / Usage Precautions
Terms Used in This Manual
This section explains some important terms that are used throughout the G1N/G1XN manual.
•Effectmodule
As shown in the illustration above, a patch in the
G1N/G1XN can be thought of as a combination of
uptoeightsingleeffects.Eachsucheffectis
referred to as an effect module.
•Effecttype
Some effect modules have several different effects
which are referred to as effect types. For example,
theMODULATIONmoduleiscomprisedof
chorus, flanger, pitch shifter, and other effect
types. Only one of these can be selected at a time.
•Effectparameter
All effect modules have various parameters that
canbeadjusted.Thesearecalledeffectparameters
or simply parameters. When thinking of an effect
module as a compact effect, the parameters change
the tone and effect intensity similar to the knobs
on the device.
•Patch
I
n the G1N/G1XN, effect module combinations
are stored and called up in units referred to as
patches. A patch is comprised of information
about the on/off status and effect parameter
settings used in each module.
•Bank
A group of ten patches is called a bank.
The memory of the G1N/G1XN comprises a total of
8 banks, labelled with letters A to d (user-editable
banks) and numbers 0 to 3 (read-only preset banks),
as shown in the illustration at top right.
•Mode
The internal status of the G1N/G1XN is referred
to as the operation mode. The function of keys and
controls differs, depending on the respective
mode. Modes of the G1N/G1XN include play
mode for selecting and playing patches, rhythm
mode for playing a rhythm pattern, edit mode for
modifying effects, and store mode for saving
patches.
When the batteries are
getting low, the indication
"bt" appears on the display.
When operating the
G1N/G1XN on batteries, it is
advisable to disconnect the
guitar cable plug from the
[INPUT] jack when not using
the unit, to conserve battery
power.
3. Close the cover of the
battery compartment.
Latch
1. Turn the G1N/G1XN over and
open the cover of the battery
compartment on the bottom.
Press latch to release
and then lift cover.
