ZFR100 Recording System Owner’s Manual Chapter 1
3
Introduction
The ZFR100 is a fault tolerant recording system. The memory card can be ejected or the power can
be switched off while the unit is in the record mode without the possibility of any audio loss to the
point recording stops. This is unique feature of the ZFR100.
The ZFR100 records audio onto the FLASH memory card using FAT32 file system. This ensures
the FLASH memory card can be read on both Windows and Mac computers. The audio is recorded
as a single file and can only be read using the Zaxcom conversion utility. This utility is freely
available from the Zaxcom website at
http://www.zaxcom.com . It allows the audio to be converted
to standard Broadcast Wave files or Zaxcom transcription format (ZTF) files.
Batteries
Two AA batteries are used in the ZFR100 and depending on the type of battery used operate from
10 to 20 hours. For the longest battery life, use Lithium or rechargeable NiMH. Any other battery
chemistry including Alkaline and “Ultra” batteries have a substantially reduced run-time compared
to Lithium or rechargeable NiMH cells.
NOTE:
Never use any battery that is missing insulation on its body. This can allow a short circuit in the
battery compartment causing damage to the transmitter.
