Formatting the Recorder (FORMAT)

If you format the recorder, all function settings will return to their defaults*. All files stored in the recorder will be deleted.

If you have important files that you want to save, connect the recorder to a computer and transfer those files from the recorder to the computer before formatting the device.

* Date and time settings will not be cleared, so you won’t need to set them again.
