3600 seconds (0 seconds to 1 hour).
10. Format the SD card
. Once the sampling time has been set and stored, the term “Sd-F”
will appear in the lower half of the display. Press the REC/ENTER button.
Pressing the REC/ENTER button causes the word “no” or “yES” to appear over the term
“Sd-F”. Press the

button to make a selection. Choose “yES” whenever a new SD card is
being used, or when a used card is being repurposed (from use with another SD card
instrument or a camera, for example) and all data on it is to be erased. Choose “no” to
preserve any data on a card previously used with this instrument.
If you choose “yES”, after you press the REC/ENTER button the instrument will prompt you
to confirm that decision by displaying the term “Ent” below “yES” and sounding three
beeps. To confirm that you want to begin the erasure/formatting procedure, press the
REC/ENTER button. “Ent” will then flash several times and the instrument will sound
another three beeps to confirm that the SD card has been erased and formatted.
Once the SD card has been formatted (or not), the display will either return to the first of the
eight steps in the setup sequence—setting the current date and time—or show the term
“ESC”. If “ESC” appears, press the POWER/ESC button to exit the setup procedure and
enter normal operating mode.
