FlashMic LCD Display During Format.

Looking at the other filenames in the folder, it can be seen that they all begin with
MIC_01, which would be the case if the FlashMic name (DRM Name) was not
changed during the course of the recording period, by uploading a new configuration
file with a different DRM Name. Some of the files differ in the BWF/MPEG File
Name component; this is where the FlashMic was used by – in our example –
different recordists, who each selected a different preset. Note finally, that no track
number is repeated. Further recording identification can of course be obtained from
the date/time file information, which will be accurate as long as the internal clock
was set correctly beforehand.
How you will use the file naming system will greatly depend on the type of organisation
using the FlashMic(s), how many are in use, how many people are using each
FlashMic, the kind of recordings being made, etc. In the simplest of single-mic/
single-owner situations, all the default settings can be used with little chance for
confusion.
Reformatting the Memory
The FlashMic’s 1GB flash memory can be reformatted if wished. This is desirable
after a firmware update, and is essential if the FlashMic is formatted via USB from
a computer. It is also a convenient method of clearing all sound files from the
memory.

To reformat the internal memory, proceed as follows:
With the FlashMic turned off, hold down all three side panel buttons -
REC (G), PLAY (H) & M/STOP (M) – simultaneously.
With the three buttons depressed, turn the FlashMic on. The LCD
display will show FMT N. If you are sure you want to proceed, using the
jogwheel make a SHORT DOWN TURN to change the display to FMT Y, then
a SHORT PUSH to accept this.
The display will now show FORMAT. Reformatting takes about 35 seconds to
complete. The FlashMic then returns to IDLE mode.

IMPORTANT: Reformatting the flash memory will permanently delete any sound files and
Preset data still in the FlashMic, so ensure that all your sound files have been downloaded
to a computer before proceeding.
