Zaxcom Nomad User’s Manual_____________________________________________________Chapter 1

Battery Door

The Silver knob rotates clockwise to lock the battery compartment door. Inside, you will find space for the

battery carrier with 6 AA batteries installed, a slot for the Primary CF card and a slot for the MicroSD card.

For CompactFlash card recommendations, see

p.12

WARNING:

Use

ONLY

NiMH rechargeable or Lithium batteries. If you use ANY other chemistry, they

will EXPLODE and SEVERLY damage or DESTROY the unit.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!

WARNING:

While Lithium batteries are installed,

DO NOT

connect the unit to external power. There is

no way to disable the built-in charger. If you do, they will EXPLODE and SEVERLY damage or DESTROY

the unit. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!

CAUTION:

Always observe the correct battery polarity. The negative contact on the battery is always

connected to the spring contact in the carrier.

NOTE:

While the batteries are installed and the unit is receiving external power, the internal charger is

designed to keep the batteries topped-up and ready to use when external power is lost.

The built-in charger may take up to 24 hours to fully recharge the installed NiMH batteries.

ZaxNet RF connector (SMA-F)

Serial connector (USB)

For future expansion. It will NOT work with a USB keyboard.

CompactFlash Mirror Media Slot

For CompactFlash card recommendations, see

CompactFlash Cards

{

p.12

USB port

For USB capable external drives.

10.

MicroSD Media Slot

A card is installed.

11.

CampactFlash Primary Media Slot

Unlike the Mirror card slot, there is no button to press when you want to remove this card. Just grab the

card’s lip with your fingers and pull. Be sure to keep it aligned straight as you remove it and install it.

12.

Internal Battery Compartment

It takes a battery carrier with 6 batteries installed.

NOTE:

It is possible to insert the battery carrier incorrectly. Even if you insert it with the contacts in but

reversed it will do NO harm to the unit because there is reversed current protection. It just won’t turn

on.

WARNING:

The

WORST

thing you can do is insert the battery carrier with the connectors facing out. If

you do, and you close the door. The carrier

WILL

short against the door and the resulting

FIRE

and/or

EXPLOSION

will destroy the unit.
