Initializing the Memory

Here’s how you can completely erase all songs that were saved in internal memory, USB memory (sold separately), or a floppy disk (sold separately).

Once an initialization is performed, all songs that have been saved in memory will be erased. The erased data cannot be recovered, so we recommend that you check the contents of memory before you proceed.

If you’re using new USB memory (sold separately) or floppy disk with the HP305/HP302 for the first time, you’ll need to initialize (format) the USB memory or floppy disk before using it. The HP305/HP302 can’t use USB memory or floppy disk that has not been initialized.

If you want to initialize USB memory or a floppy disk, make the following preparations before you proceed.

Connect your USB memory to the external memory connector.

Connect your floppy disk drive to the external memory connector, and insert a disk in the drive.

1.Enter Function mode, choose “FMt.”

2.Press the [-] or [+] button to select the memory that you want to initialize.

If you press the [ ] button, you’ll return to the previous screen without initializing.

4.Press the [ ] button.

Initialization will begin.

The entire contents of the selected memory will be erased. Once the memory has been initialized, the following screen will appear.

Caution when Initializing the Memory

Never turn off the power while “FMt” is shown in the display.

If the screen indicates “E,” please refer to “Error Messages” (p. 77).

Initializing the HP305/HP302’s internal memory will not initialize settings other than the contents of internal memory. If you want to return settings other than the contents of internal memory to their factory-set condition, execute the Factory Reset operation (p. 61).

Don’t disconnect the USB memory until USB memory initialization has been completed.

While a floppy disk is being initialized, do not eject the disk from the floppy disk drive or disconnect the cable of the disk drive.

Changing the External Memory Setting (External Memory Mode)

In some cases, when USB memory is connected to the external memory connector, it may take longer for data to be loaded, or data may fail to be loaded successfully. If this occurs, you may be able to solve the problem by changing the external memory setting

1.Enter Function mode, choose “UMd.”
