Notes
• The time required to format cards differs depending on
the capacity of cards. Do not interrupt the formatting
process by the following operations. Doing so will
damage the data or card.
- Remove the card.
- Remove the batteries.
• When the card is formatted, all the stored data, including
locked files, are erased.
• If an unformatted card is inserted, the recorder
automatically displays the format option in the menu.
• SD cards for which the SD card lock is enabled cannot
be initialized.
• Formatting on the recorder will be Quick Format. If you
format the card, information of file management is
refreshed and the data inside the card is not deleted
completely. When handing over and disposing the card,
be careful about the data leakage from the card. We
recommend the card to be destroyed when you dispose
the card.
