Note
Safely deleting existing unencrypted data
If unencrypted data have already been saved on the memory card before saving encrypted
data, then this data will not be safely deleted. No special deletion method is applied in order
to completely and finally remove unencrypted data from the memory card.
In this case, users must ensure that the unencrypted data are safely and reliably deleted, for
instance by using special PC-based tools.

Note when deactivating know-how protection
Note
Permanently or temporarily deactivating know-how protection
Temporary deactivation means that know-how protection is active again after a POWER ON.
Data is still saved on the memory card in an encrypted form. The existing password is used
to reactivate know-how protection.
Final deactivation means that know-how protection is no longer active, even after a POWER
ON. Data is saved on the memory card in an unencrypted form (i.e. data is no longer
encrypted).
Even if know-how protection has been finally deactivated, it can still be reactivated when
required.
