ted before shipment from the factory.
To restore the memory to its original condition, follow the procedure below to format the memory.

once (for less than 2 seconds) to display the menu on the LCD panel.

Press the MENU switch within 4 seconds. The memory will be formatted, the LCD panel will
display [OK] and the recorder will enter the Stop mode. The formatting mode is canceled if the
STOP button is pressed or if no operation is performed for 4 seconds after the formatting dis-
play starts blinking.

X

Remember that formatting erases all data (including recorded voice data, time/date and ID
number data) in memory. Be careful.
