in the display indicating how to erase the memory card.
3. Press the up arrow key 5 times to begin the Erasing and formatting of the memory card.

Important: Ensure the ZFR800 indicates that the formatting was successful before the card is used for actual

A 2 GB MiniSD card takes approximately 20 seconds to format.
