Quick Guide
Formatting Memory (Format)
“Formatting” is an operation by which you can erase all Live Set les from
user memory or initialize a USB ash drive to a state in which it can be used
with the RD-800.
USB ash drive cannot be used with the RD-800 unless it is formatted
suitably for the RD-800.
Before using a new USB ash drive, you’ll need to format it.
NOTE
When you format the USB ash drive, all data previously saved on that
memory will be erased. Before you carry out a format, make sure that the
USB ash drive does not contain important data you need to keep.

button.
2. Choose “Format” and press the [ENTER] button.

Auto O function, always make sure to allow at least ten seconds to pass after
the power has been shut o before you turn the power back on. If you turn it
back on too rapidly, the Auto O function will not have had enough time to
reset itself, and you may not be able to turn on the power in the normal way.
