About the Headphone Output Connector
The ZFR800 headphone connector is used to monitor the recorded audio, and playback of the
recorded audio. Since the ZFR800 is a mono device and the headphone output is designed to feed
a mono headphone. If a stereo headphone is connected to the ZFR800, only one channel is active.
NOTE:
There is currently no control over the headphone level. A future software revision will add a
headphone volume level adjustment.
Monitor Beep Tones
Monitor beep tones signal when the ZFR800 recording state is changed. The chart below indicates
the meaning of the tones.
Using the Microphone Pad
A 10 dB pad is available on the ZFR800. The switch for the pad is located under the screw on the
microphone capsule. It can be identified by the label on the interface board. Use a small
screwdriver or toothpick to enable or disengage the 10 dB pad. Under normal conditions and for
best quality audio, use the ZFR800 without enabling the pad. However, if you are using the
ZFR800 with extremely high audio levels, enable the pad.
NOTE:
It is normal for the noise floor to be a little higher than normal when the pad is enabled.
Mini SD Media Requirements
The ZFR800 records audio on MiniSD cards, and only SanDisk or Transcend MiniSD cards can be
used. These brands of media are required because other brands of SD Memory can get jammed in
the MiniSD Slot and damage the unit.
Any damage to the unit due to non-Sandisk or Transcend media voids the warranty.
Only use SanDisk normal speed MiniSD card media, or Transcend 80x speed media. These cards
have been tested to ensure they have an acceptable write delay time.
Do not
use SanDisk Ultra II cards. Formatting an Ultra II card in a ZFR800 may make the card
unusable.
