Media
While any size card will work we recommend using a 4GB micro SD card. We also recommend that
you buy a brand name card such as Transcend, SanDisk, or Delkin. You should also buy your cards
from a reputable dealer because counterfeit cards exist and can cause recording issues.
We also recommend that you test your card before taking them out into the field.
Here is a testing procedure to determine if the card will function correctly:
1.
Format the card in the ZFR.
2.
Power cycle the unit.
3.
Record at least 20 minutes of audio to a card with no timecode source.
4.
Look at the Main Screen it should still be recording in segment #1.
