. Do not format the mass memory
using PC software because it may cause degraded
performance.
Formatting does not guarantee that all confidential
data stored in the device mass memory is
permanently destroyed. Standard formatting only
marks the formatted area as available space and
deletes the address to find the files again. The
recovery of formatted or even overwritten data may
still be possible with special recovery tools and
software.
