Cards Compatible with the AR-3000R
Basic Operations
Formatting a Card
Before you can use a new card, or a card that was formerly used on another
device, you must first format (initialize) the card.
Once the formatting is complete, you can give the card a name (using up to
eight characters). When you record a phrase, this card name is automatically
added to the beginning of the phrase name.
Example: Card name: MESSAGE
→
Phrase name: MESSAGE 1
* If you don’t give the card a name, the name “AR-3000” is used.
Important Note About Formatting
• Do not format cards on a computer.
• Formatting erases all data on the ard. Before you format a card, make
certain it does not contain any important data.
• You can create up to 1,000 phrases on a single card.
When you format a card, you preselect 250, 500, or 1,000 as the maximum
number of phrases to record on the card.
* The possible recording time of a card varies according to card capacity and recording
settings.
* After formatting, you cannot change the maximum number of phrases. Please be
aware that changing the maximum number of phrases requires reformatting, which
erases everything stored on the card.
* When you are using Card Conversion to convert a created card to AR-2000 format,
select either 250 or 500 as the setting for the maximum number of phrases.
