About CF cards
The capacities and performance of your HS-8 will vary
based on the speed and abilities of the Compact Flash
(CF) media used. Older and some cheaper Compact
Flash (CF) cards use slower memory components and
little internal buffering which results in poor recording
performance. Newer CF cards, particularly those made for
high-precision DSLR cameras, not only perform reading
and writing faster, but also come in larger storage size.
A list of CF cards that we have confirmed to work with this
unit is provided on our website (http://www.tascam.com).
If a CF card is used that has not been confirmed, this unit
might not operate correctly.
CAUTION
We can accept no responsibility for any loss of the data you record
using this product onto a CF card.
Precautions for use
CompactFlash cards are precision devices. To prevent
damage to the card or the slot, please observe the
following cautions.
Do not leave a CF card in an extremely hot or cold •
location.
Do not leave a CF card in an extremely damp
•
location.
Do not allow a CF card to become wet.
•
Do not place any object on top of a CF card, or twist •
or bend it.
Do not subject a CF card to strong impact.
•
Do not insert or remove a CF card during recording, •
playback, data transfer or other operations that
access a card.
