Formatting a Memory Card
Tip: Memory Cards written to and/or formatted by other devices are likely to slow
your phone’s response to commands and produce other unwanted results. To
avoid such problems, format a used microSD Memory Card after inserting it
in your handset.
Formatting a microSD or microSDHC Memory Card erases any data
currently on the card and creates multimedia directories compatible
with your phone.
Caution!: Repeated formatting of a microSD card reduces its service life. So, don’t
reformat a Memory Card just to free up storage space.
To regain space on a microSD card already formatted by your phone,
just delete unwanted files. (For more information, refer to “Card
Memory” on page 173.)
