Formatting the SD card

NOTE

Use a PS-P520 AC adapter (sold separately) or be certain that the unit has plenty of remaining battery power when formatting. Full Format checks for memory errors, so it takes a particularly long time compared to Quick Format.

Setting the main battery source (MAIN)

When both the lithium ion battery and AA batteries are installed, you can set one as a main power source and the other as a backup. Usually the unit uses the main power source.

When the remaining power of the main battery source becomes low, the unit automatically switches to the backup, allowing continued operation.

The battery source currently used and the amount of remaining power it has are shown at the upper

right of the Home Screen.
