Formatting recording media [Format]
NOTE
• Never format the voice recorder from
a PC.
• Formatting erases all the existing data,
including locked files and read-only
files.
• If there is a microSD card in the voice
recorder, make sure [Internal memory]
or [microSD card] has been correctly
selected as the recording media to
erase (☞P. 68).
• Before formatting, charge or replace
the battery to ensure it will not run
out before the process has finished.
The formatting process can sometimes
take over 10 seconds to complete. To
prevent the risk of damage to data,
never attempt to perform any of the
following processes before a formatting
process has finished:
1 Disconnecting the USB-connection
AC adapter
2 Removing the battery
3 Removing the microSD card (if the
recording media has been set to
[microSD card])
• Even when formatting or erasing
(☞ P. 47) is performed, only the
file management information of the
internal memory and/or microSD card
is updated and the recorded data is not
completely erased.
When disposing of a microSD card,
be sure to destroy the card, format
the card and record silence until the
recording time runs out, or perform a
similar operation in order to prevent
the leakage of personal information.
