Inserting the card

Formatting the PC card

Do not press EJECT while recording (when the REC indicator is lit). This may result in the loss of all data on the PC card.

•Even the PC card was formatted by MSDOS PC, formatting by the unit is neccessary to format it in the unit's format. After this formatting, the PC card is still readable by PC as MSDOS file.

After using the card many times, it is recommended to do this formatting operation to streamline the fragmentation.

•Do not eject the PC card or turn this unit’s power off while formatting is in progress.
