Format the memory card on the SP- 404.
Formatting the memory card erases all data on the card.
- Hold down [CANCEL] and press [REMAIN]. BANK [C/G]-[F/J] flash, and “FMt” appears in the display.
- Press any BANK button [C/G]-[F/J]. BANK [C/G]-[F/J] stop flashing and remain lit; [DEL] flashes (to cancel the formatting, press [CANCEL]).
- Press [DEL]. [DEL] lights up, and formatting is executed. The dot in the display flashes while formatting is in progress. Formatting is completed when the flashing stops.
- This completes formatting of the initialization memory card. Turn off the power to the SP-404 and eject the memory card.
Never turn off the power while the dot is blinking. Doing so may damage the backup data or the memory card.
Do not alter or delete any of the files or folders created on the formatted memory card.
Doing so will result in the card failing to be recognized properly by the SP-404.
