NOTE
• Nev
er format the voice recorder from
a PC.
• Formatting erases all the existing data,
including locked files and read-only
files.
• Before formatting, replace the battery
to ensure it will not run out before the
process has finished. The formatting
process can sometimes take over 10
seconds to complete. To prevent the
risk of damage to data, never attempt
to perform any of the following
processes before a formatting process
has finished:
• Removing the battery
• Even when formatting or erasing
(☞ P.32) is performed, only the
file management information of the
internal memory is updated and the
recorded data is not completely erased.
Before giving the voice recorder to
somebody or disposing of it, perform
initialization and then record silence
until there is no recording time
remaining in order to prevent the
leakage of personal information.
