Notes:
• When initializing (formatting) a
card, confirm that no necessary
data is stored on the memory
card beforehand. Initialization
completely erases the existing
data on the card.
• Cards formatted (initialized) by
another device, like a computer,
may not be recognized. Be sure
to format them with this recorder
before use.
• 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.
