9.2 Delete Storage Medium
It is not normally necesary to delete the memory.
Deletion produces a definied initial state on the memory media.
Note
If a memory card is inserted in the Touch Panel, this function deletes the con-
tents of the memory card.
If no memory card is inserted in the Touch Panel, this function deletes the
contents of the internal flash.
During the deletion process, all data is cleared from the data medium.
In order that the configuration on the TP is not deleted inadvertently, several
separate touches are necessary simultaneously on the screen. Proceed as
follows to delete the memory:
1. Touch the top left corner of the screen as the Touch Panel is starting up.
The menu illustrated in figure 9-1 appears with the first confirmation
request.
