Before formatting, charge or replace the battery to ensure it will not run out before the process is 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: Doing so may

damage the data.

1 Disconnecting the USB-connection AC adapter.
