F.3 Formatting Micro SD Disks
The Micro SD Cards used in the CL1/CL2 must be formatted with the original FAT (FAT16) file system. Most
new disks purchased are pre-formatted with FAT32 which will not work in the CL1/CL2. The disks may be
formatted either from a PC or in the CL1/CL2.
It is highly recommended that the disk be formatted in the CL1/CL2 using the procedure outlined in the
following section instead of using a Windows based PC.
WARNING – Formatting the Micro SD card will erase all information stored on the card.
WARNING – Make sure to have the correct drive letter for the SD Disk drive. Selecting the incorrect drive and
formatting could result in complete loss of data and/or operation of the computer.
1. Formatting the disk in a MS Windows based PC
2. Insert the Micro SD card into the SD Card adapter included.
3. Insert the SD card adapter into the correct drive slot on the computer.
4. Open “My Computer”
5. See WARNING above - Right click on the drive letter corresponding to the drive containing the SD Card
adapter. Select ‘Format’ from the drop-down menu.
6. Under the heading ‘File System’ select FAT – DO NOT SELECT FAT32
7. Uncheck the “Quick Format” box if it is selected
8. Press Start to format the disk.
When complete the disk is ready for use in the CL1/CL2.
WARNING – Make sure to have the correct drive letter for the SD Disk drive. Selecting the incorrect drive and
formatting could result in complete loss of data and/or operation of the computer.
