Restoring the factory settings
Loading the preloaded data
Theoriginalpreloaddataisbackedupinthe
microSTATION,soyoucanrestoreanyorallofthe

ToreturnthemicroSTATIONtoitsfactory‐setstate,
youcanloadthepreloaddatafromanSDcardto

Loading procedure
1. InsertyourSDcardintothemicroSTATIONʹscard
slot,andformattheSDcardasdescribedin
“Formattingmedia”onp.62.
Note: AnSDcardthatʹsalreadybeingusedwiththe

Initialization
Ifoperationbecomesunstable,youcaninitializethe
microSTATIONasfollows.
1. TurnoffthemicroSTATION’spower.
2. WhileholdingdownthePLAY/MUTEbuttonand
thefunction08button,turnonthe
microSTATION’spower.
ThemicroSTATIONwillbeinitialized,anddatawill
bewrittentointernalmemory.Whiledataisbeing
written,thedisplaywillindicate“Initializing...”
Wheninitiali
