Formatting an SD card

Before using an SD card with the transceiver, be sure
to format all SD cards with the built-in Format function.
This creates a special folder on the card that you need
for operations like updating the firmware.
Format all cards, including a brand new SD card, and
even preformatted cards for PCs or other uses.
NOTE: Formatting a card erases all its data. Before
formatting any used card, back up its data onto your PC.
(p. 8-7)
IMPORTANT: Even if you format an SD 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.
1. Insert an SD card into the card slot.
