recorders.

Getting to Know Your ZFR100 Bodypack Recorder

The ZFR100 uses two AA batteries (Lithium or NiMH). This section was written based on firmware version 6.80.

Device Interface

Media Slot

This slot holds a media card for recording and is protected from accidental ejection by a guard bar. To insert a
card, with the screen facing you, turn the card so the finger contacts are facing you and down toward the slot.
Insert it into the slot and press it down until you here a slight click. To remove it, press it in until you hear the
same click again.
IMPORTANT: While inserting / removing the card, if your finger slides off of the card, it could fly a respectable
distance. Be VERY care or you could lose a card containing hours of recording in an instant.
Unit Power Switch – Internal/External Power Switch
The Power switch is intentionally set below the frame of the unit to prevent accidentally turning it „OFF‟ during
use.
When the Zaxcom Stereo Adapter (STAxxx) is attached to the ZFR100, the ON/OFF switch becomes an internal
or external power select switch.
