Formatting the microSD card

Use the transceiver's built-in Format function
to format all microSD cards to be used with the
transceiver. This creates a special folder on the card
that you need for operations like loading the data.
Format all cards, including a brand new microSD card,
and even preformatted cards for PCs or other uses.
NOTE: Formatting a card deletes all its data. Before
formatting any used card, back up its data onto your
PC. (p. 9-7)
IMPORTANT: Even if you format the microSD
card, some data may remain in the card. When you
dispose the card, be sure to physically destroy it to
avoid unauthorized access to any data that remains.
