Zoom F8n Pro - Changing batteries without loosing the time

The time on our Zoom F8n Pro resets every time we change the internal batteries. Here is a trick to avoid this:

  1. Connect an external power bank to the Zoom F8n Pro via the Hirose connector.
  2. Make sure the power bank is switched on and providing the necessary power.
  3. Switch on the Zoom F8n Pro and let it run!
  4. Now, exchange the internal batteries.
  5. Disconnect the power bank and the Zoom F8n Pro should continue to operate. (If not, your batteries haven't been charged!)
  6. Check that the time is correct.

This way, you can change the batteries without losing the time set on the Zoom F8n Pro.
