Formatting External Media

If you find that you are unable to use new, blank external media (such as SmartMedia
cards, floppy disks or USB storage devices) or old ones that have been used with other
devices, you may need to format them.
Formatting erases all the data in the media and makes it ready to record. The data
erased by formatting will be lost permanently. Check whether or not the media
contains any important data you wish to keep before executing the operation.
1
Insert the media into the card slot or disk drive, or connect the
device to the USB TO DEVICE terminal.
2
Press the [TOOLS] button at the top right of the display to call up
the TOOLS Page.
3
Press the [FORMAT] button in the display.
4
Select the desired media you want to format.
To format a SmartMedia card, select [SmartMedia]. To format a floppy disk,
select [USB-FD1]. To format a USB storage device, select [USB 01].
5
Press the [EXECUTE] button in the display.
A message appears, prompting confirmation of the operation. Select [OK] to
format the media, or [CANCEL] to abort the operation.
NOTE
On the ELS-01, "USB-FD01"
appears in the display only
when a floppy disk drive
(UD-FD01) has been
installed to the Electone.
Do not remove the media
while formatting.
