3.2.2.1 Formatting your memory card (optional)
By activating the format
command all data will be
lost! Make sure that all
important data which resides on the
PC-Card is properly backed-up
before reformatting the card. If you
want to reformat the internal memory
make sure that all important data is
first transferred to the PC.
If a PC-Card is being used for the
first time with the GS50 / GS50+, or
you wish to delete all data that
resides on the PC-Card, then follow
these steps to format the PC-Card.
From the main menu press 4 on the
terminal or use the Cursor key to
highlight the line "Utilities", then
press ENTER; alternatively press F1
CONT.
(If only lines 1 to 3 are visible at this
stage press F4 SHOW first).
Getting Started With New Equipment
Then press 2 to get access to the
"Format Memory Module" panel, or
alternatively use the Cursor key to
navigate to "Format Memory Module"
and press ENTER; again alterna-
tively press F1 CONT.
You are now in the Utilities \ Format
Memory Module panel:
If you want to format the PC-Card
just press F1 CONT to format the
card. Alternatively, if you have
purchased the internal memory
option, and would like to format it
press ENTER.

A listbox opens which allows you to
select the internal memory.
Use the cursor key to highlight
Internal, then press ENTER. Then
press F1 CONT in order to start the
formatting process of the internal
memory.
If, at this point, you do not wish to
format the memory device, simply
press ESC instead of F1 CONT. This
keystroke brings you always a step
back into the previous panel without
execution of any command.
Once the formatting of the card is
completed the MAIN\ panel will
reappear.
