PCMCIA card must first be formatted before being
used. This can be done in the unit, or on any IBM
compatible PC running MSDOS. The disks and
cards are formatted in MSDOS compatible format.
Note that only 1.44 Meg (High Density) 3½ inch
floppy disks can be used. To format a disk, perform
the following steps:
1. First ensure the disk is not write protected, (the
write protect slide must expose the hole in the
floppy disk).
2. Open the door flap on the lower front panel to
expose the drive. Insert the floppy disk, label side
up with the metal toward the drive opening. Insure

pulled in and down.
3. Use the UP (↑) or DOWN (↓) Arrow Keys to
highlight the "Format Disk" menu choice and
press ENTER. You will be presented with a dis-
play window that shows "format=NO*".
4. Press YES and then ENTER to start formatting.
You will be returned to the Record Setup Pro-
gramming menu. The light on the disk drive will
come on and the disk will be formatted. The disk
status window will indicate FORMAT while the
disk is formatting.
5. Once formatting has been completed a window
will pop up to announce "Format Complete" or it
will indicate any error if the disk could not be for-
matted. Press the "OK?" button to accept.
PCMCIA Cards are to be formatted appropriately.
