FR-2
Field Memory Recorder (Chapter 2: Before using the FR-2)
About memory card
The FR-2 records audio data to a memory card such as a CompactFlash card ("CFC" for
short) and Flash ATA Card (ATA, for short) which are formatted with the FAT32 file
system.
<Note>:
A virgin memory card which is FAT32 formatted can be used without the need of
initial-formatting, however, we recommend to format such a card using the "Format" menu
item on the "DISK" menu in the MENU mode. Also, if you use a FAT32 formatted memory card
which has been used with a PC, we recommend to format it in the same manner.
See “Formatting a memory card” on page 76 for details about the “Format” menu item.
Inserting/removing a memory card
<Note>:
You can remove or insert a card regardless of whether the power is on or off,
however, never remove a card while the FR-2 is writing data to the card or reading data
from the card. When you remove or insert a card when the power is on, follow the
appropriate procedures described from the next page. Also be sure to insert a card in
the correct direction and side. Note that Fostex is not responsible for any damage of a
card caused by incorrect card handling. Note that Fostex is not responsible for any
damage of a card caused by incorrect card handling.
