 • 

Formatting begins and [  Formatting!  ] 
flashes on the display. 

 • 

[  Format  done  ] appears when formatting 
ends. 

 •  Never format the recorder from a PC. 

 •  When the recorder is formatted, all the saved data, 

including locked files and read-only files, is erased. 

 •  To restore the function’s settings to their initial 

values, use [  Reset  Settings  ]  ( 

☞   P.73). 

 •  If the SD card is write-protected, [  SD Card Locked  ] 

will be displayed. If you want to format the card, 
release the card’s write protection ( 

☞   P.21). 

 •  When an SD card is inserted into the recorder, 

be sure to confirm the recording media as either 
[  Internal  memory  ] or [  SD  card  ] so that there is no 
mistake ( 

☞  P.23, P.72). 

 •  Replace the battery with a new one in order to 

ensure that the battery does not go flat during 
formatting. In addition, it may take over 10 seconds 
to complete formatting. Never perform operations 
such as the following during formatting, as such 
operations may damage the data. 

  

1  Disconnect the AC Adapter during formatting. 
  

2  Remove the battery during formatting. 
  

3  Remove the SD card during formatting when 

[  SD  card  ] is selected as the recording media. 

 •  Formatting on the recorder is Quick Format. If you 

format the SD card, file management information 
is refreshed and the data inside the SD card is not 
deleted completely. When giving someone or 
disposing of the SD card, be careful of data leakage 
from the SD card. We recommend that the SD card 
be destroyed when you dispose of it.
