the memory card beforehand. Initialization

cannot be recognized. Be sure to format them
with this recorder before using.
• The card has a service life. When reaching the end
of its life, writing or erasing data on the card will
be disabled. In this case, replace the card.
• If you use a PC card adapter compatible with the
card to save or delete some data on the card, the
maximum recording time on the card may be
decreased. To recover the original recording time,
initialize/format the card in the recorder.
• Olympus will not be held liable for any data
