Notes:
The F600S supports recording to both a USB drive and an SD card. The recording rules are as follows:
(1) If no external SD card or USB drive is inserted, the recording files are saved to the phone’s internal storage by default.
(2) If only an external SD card is inserted, the generated recording files are saved in the root directory of the external SD card.
(3) If only a USB drive is inserted, the generated recording files are saved in the root directory of the USB drive.
(4) If both an external SD card and a USB drive are inserted, the USB drive has higher priority than the external SD card by default, and the recording files will be stored on the higher-priority external storage device.
(5) If both a USB drive and an external SD card are inserted and one of them is removed, the remaining external storage device becomes active. For example, if the USB drive is removed, the recording files will be stored on the external SD card.
