Formatting a CompactFlash Card

To format a CompactFlash card for use in a Trimble R7 receiver, insert
the card in the CompactFlash port, then hold down

p for at least 30

seconds. After 15 seconds, the receiver is reset to its factory defaults,
and any ephemeris file is deleted. After 30 seconds, any files stored on
the card are deleted and the CompactFlash card is reformatted.

WARNING – Formatting a CompactFlash card while it is in the receiver
deletes all the data files on the card and all the application files in the
receiver.

Note – When you use

p to format the CompactFlash card, a quick

format is performed. A quick format reformats the card for use with
the Trimble R7 receiver and deletes all data on the card. A full format
checks the card for errors or bad sectors, and is only necessary if the
card is corrupted. To perform a full format, use GPS Configurator. For
more information, see GPS Configurator Software, page 70.
