2 Formatting External Media If you find that you are unable to use new, blank SmartMedia cards/floppy disks or old one 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/disk drive. 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. 7 Music Data Recorder (MDR) 4 Select the desired media you want to format. To format a SmartMedia card, select [SmartMedia]. To format a floppy disk, select [USB-FD1]. 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. 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. Do not remove the media while formatting. ELS-01/01C Owner's Manual 95
