Zoom Q3 Handy Manuals

Q3 Handy Video Recorder Q3 Quick Start Guide Safety and Operation Precautions must be read before using the unit.

Using the Zoom Q3 Audio/Video Recorders Before you begin: Make sure the Zoom Q3 is either plugged in with it’s mains power adaptor, or has enough battery life for the usage period. We recommend using the power adaptor for recordings above an hour. It will ensure that you don’t have any drop- outs during recording and save on batteries. To use the mains adaptor simply plug it into the power socket n the left side of the Zoom (when looking at the screen) and the plug into mains. To check battery life turn on the Zoom (by holding the power button), on screen you will see a 3-Segment battery display giving an indication of remaining life. The Zoom also estimates remaining recording time based on space on the Data Card and settings chosen.
