mass memory

. 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.
