• SD Memory cards : FAT16 only
• SDHC Memory cards : FAT16 or FAT32 only
Formatting has to be done in a PC. You will need an SD card reading device connected to
your PC.

remove any important files from the card before formatting.

updating the software on a SmartFade console. Software update is not possible
using an SDHC Memory card.

your Windows PC.
