NOTE
• Never 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:
1 Removing the battery
2 Removing the microSD card (if the
recording media to be initialized is
a [microSD card]) (VN-733PC and
VN-732PC models only).
VN-733PC and VN-732PC models only:
• If there is a microSD card in the voice
recorder, make sure [Internal memory]
or [microSD card] has been correctly
selected as the recording media to
erase (
☞ P.46).
• Even when formatting or erasing
(
☞ P.32) is performed, only the
file management information of the
internal memory and/or microSD card
is updated and the recorded data is not
completely erased.
When disposing of a microSD card,
be sure to destroy the card, format
the card and record silence until the
recording time runs out, or perform a
similar operation in order to prevent
the leakage of personal information.
Checking recording media
information [Memory Info.]
You can display the capacity and remaining
memory space of the recording media from a
menu screen.
NOTE
• Some recording media memory
capacity is used as a management
area, so the actual usable capacity
will always be slightly less than the
displayed capacity.
Checking voice recorder
information [System Info.]
You can display voice recorder information
from a menu screen.
• The voice recorder’s [Model], [Version]
(system version) and [Serial No.]
information is displayed.
