How to use the reset switch

The reset switch puts into effect a very serious operation. When the reset
switch is depressed, the CPU is reset, and memory is cleared entirely.

Something which might be difficult to fully grasp, but please be sure to
remember the following points.

When the reset switch is depressed, programs and data that were stored in the

RAM

file (explained later) might be lost. Also, the efforts you spent in setting

graphic characters and user defined keys will all be wasted. Therefore, the

reset switch should be used only as the last resort.
When an endless loop occurs, or program execution runs out of control, or
when the

X-07

malfunctions, first perform the following

steps.:

1. Depress the

ON/BREAK

key to stop program execution.

Depress the

OFF

key. Wait for a while, and then, depress the

ON/BREAK

key.

If the problem still remains, depress the reset switch. Refer to the illustration
below for how to depress the reset switch.

If the batteries have been changed without using the AC adaptor, the

X-07

might malfunction. If so depress the reset switch.
