SD Memory Cards
Always format SD Memory Cards that have 
• 
been used in other devices when first using 
them with this portable recorder. (Page 34)
If the system frequency of the portable 
• 
recorder is changed, it will not be possible to 
use an SD Memory Card. Before using a card, 
format it with the current system frequency 
settings.
When a card is formatted, all of its recorded 
• 
data will be erased, and it will not be 
subsequently possible to restore this data. 
Save any valuable data onto your computer or 
other storage media prior to formatting.
If “CHECK CARD” is displayed on the LCD 
• 
monitor screen, remove the SD Memory Card 
and insert it again.
Protecting SD Memory Cards
Move the write-protect switch on the SD Memory 
Card to the “LOCK” position to prevent recorded 
contents being accidentally erased from the card.
