3-12-1. Initializing the SD memory cards
In order for an SD memory card to be used in the unit,
it must first be initialized by the unit.
Initializing the SD
memory card formats it (in compliance with the SD standard) and creates the dedicated directory.
(All files saved on the SD memory card will be erased.)
Insert the SD memory card into the unit’s SD memory card slot.
Press the [SDCard] button to light its indicator and display the SDCard menu.
Refer to “2-1-5. LCD menu area”.
Turn [F1] to display the File sub menu.

Turn [F2] to select “Init” using the Mode item, and then press the [F2] switch.
The “Init?” message now appears.
If the SD memory card has not been inserted, “No Card” will appear at the Mode item.
When the mode is selected, an asterisk (
) appears on the left of the selected mode (Init, Save, Load or
Delete).
If an asterisk does not appear, press the [F2] switch to select a mode.
Turn [F5] to select “Yes,” and press the [F5] switch to initialize the card.
If “Load”, “Save” or “Delete” is selected and then the [F2] switch is pressed after a SD memory card not
formatted in compliance with the SD standard has been inserted, a message indicating that “This card is not
usable Please initialize it” is displayed.
See “3-12-2. Saving data on SD memory cards” to “3-12-4. Deleting files on SD memory cards”.
Before using a SD memory card in this unit, initialize it.
This unit also supports SDHC memory cards.
Memory cards can be initialized no matter whether they are SD or SDHC memory cards.
