Clearing Equpiment Memory

With the recent reminder to clear equipment memories, I thought it would be a good idea to review the basic ways to clear memories of common items that are returned at the desk. 

On most of the still cameras and video cameras, you can go into Menu, Settings/ Preferences (usually with the wrench icon) and choose "Format" and then erase all contents of the camera memory.  

To clear the Digital Voice recorders, you can go into the Menu to view the files, select each one, and delete them individually.  A faster way to delete all of the files at once is to hold down the Menu button to see more options, scroll down to the option called "SD Card" and then choose "Format" to delete all the files on the SD Card.

For a review on clearing hard drives, there are detailed instructions under Resources in Sakai.

Even when it's busy at the desk, it's important to remember to clear equipment memories so that they are ready for the next user!
