A new memory card - including the one that is included with a new recorder - should always be formatted in the device that it will be used with. Not doing so may result in unpredictable behavior.

The Olympus DS-4000 Instruction Manual specifically says:

"Cards used in a recorder must be formatted in the same recorder first unless formatted with a CAMEDIA series Olympus digital camera. Card may not perform as expected when formatted by a different device."
