Zaxcom Nomad User’s Manual_____________________________________________________Chapter 3

Chapter 3 – Setting Up the Power and Audio Connections

This section describes how to connect external mic- and line-level devices, and enter the proper settings to make

these connections work.

NOTE: If you aren’t sure how to get to the menu pages mentioned in the remainder of this user manual, refer

back to the reference in chapter 2. There, you will find the sequence of key / button presses to get to it, in

the section titled How to get here:.

The Nomad has factory default settings that allow the operator to power it up and immediately start recording.

When you do, it takes < 14 seconds to initialize and start recording. Once the boot sequence has completed the

Home page {p.23} is displayed. The Home page’s configuration can be changed to one of the Alternate Home

page Configurations {p.25}.

Power

The Nomad can be connected to an A/C power supply, or to an internal or external battery.

Internal Power

The Nomad uses 6 AA NiMH or Lithium batteries.

WARNING: See the Left Side Description {p.16} for the Battery Compartment’s location and power source

warnings.

External Power

The Nomad can use external power, connected to the Hirose-4F connector, as long as it supplies the proper

voltage.

Whenever the power input connector has an adequate power source connected, it is the source of power for the

Nomad.

WARNING: See the Left Side Description {p.16} for the External Power connector’s location and power

source warnings.

NOTE: If you need to run on battery power for an extended period of time, and need to record during this time,

connect an external battery to Nomad when the internal battery is low. When an external power source is

used, the Nomad automatically switches to this power source. This enables you to continue recording while

you swap out the internal battery.

NOTE: Alternatively, if you are down to your last batteries and you don’t trust the external power source, install

them and connect the external power source. If the external source should fail, the Nomad will automatically

switch to internal power until the external source has returned.

Battery Life

It is best to test how long it normally takes for the batteries to discharge fully, and use this time as your guide

along with the battery meter.

Battery Display

The Home page {p.23} displays the source of power and its voltage.

When the voltage of any internal or external power source drops below the user-defined level, the battery

indicator changes to Red. When the power source voltage drops to low, the unit shuts down.

NOTE: Nomad can operate down to about 6.0 V, but it is not recommended to run at this voltage.

IMPORTANT: When the unit shuts itself ‘OFF’ due to power loss or insufficient power, the audio tracks are

left in the “open” state. When it is turned back ‘ON’, it automatically scans for those files and closes them.

This process can take several minutes to complete. Nothing can be done until this process has completed.

NOTE: (from Howy)

If the unit has no AA batteries installed, there are times when it thinks it is running on internal batteries, since

the voltage is always floating. If AA batteries are always installed, the external battery meter will always be

correct. If no internal batteries are being used, consider turning off the internal battery warning option.
