Cleaning the unit 
 
Wipe the unit with a soft dry cloth to clean it. Do not use any

dust (e.g. a cleaning cloth). Avoid wiping with a stiff cloth or 
rubbing with force. Doing so could damage the surface of the 
LCD. Do not use benzene, thinner, manicure remover, alcohol or 
similar substances. 
 
About CF cards 
 
 
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. 
 
Media that has been confirmed for use with 
this unit 
This unit uses CF cards for recording and playback. 
We recommend using genuine TASCAM CF cards, but use of 
other CF cards that are available commercially is possible. 
Microdrives cannot be used with this unit. 
The capacities and performance of your HS-4000 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.
