3-12-1. Initializing the SD memory cards

In order for an SD memory card to be used in the unit, it must first be initialized by the unit. Initializing the SD memory card formats it (in compliance with the SD standard) and creates the dedicated directory.

(All files saved on the SD memory card will be erased.)

1Insert the SD memory card into the unit’s SD memory card slot.

2Press the [FUNC] button to light its indicator, and press the [MEMORY] button to display the MEMORY menu.

3Turn [F1] to display the SDCard sub menu.

4Turn [F2] to select “Init” using the Mode item, and then press the [F2] switch. The “Init?” message now appears.

If the SD memory card has not been inserted, “No Card” will appear at the Mode item.

When the mode is selected, an asterisk (]) appears on the left of the selected mode (Init, Save, Load or Delete). If an asterisk does not appear, press the [F2] switch to select a mode.

5Turn [F5] to select “Yes,” and press the [F5] switch to initialize the card.

To cancel the initializing, turn [F5] to select “No”, and press the [F5] switch.

SDCard	Mode↓	Select		Init?	Exec↓

If “Load”, “Save” or “Delete” is selected and then the [F2] switch is pressed after a SD memory card not formatted in compliance with the SD standard has been inserted, a message indicating that “This card is not usable Please initialize it” is displayed.  See 3-12-2, 3-12-3 and 3-12-4.

Before using a SD memory card in this unit, initialize it.

The same message will be displayed when an SDHC memory card has been inserted. However, SDHC memory cards cannot be used at all with this unit.
