4. TECHNICAL DETAILS

4.1 The ACL Function

Computers can sometimes “lock up” due to static dis-

charge or other electrical disturbances. If this should happen,
use a pin or another sharp object to press into the hole
marked ACL in the base of the unit for at least one second.
This resets the computer.

4.2 Care and Maintenance

Your chess computer is a precision electronic device, and

should not be subjected to rough handling or exposed to
extreme temperatures or moisture. Do not use chemicals to
clean your unit, as they may damage the plastic.

Weak batteries should be replaced promptly, since they

can leak and damage the computer.

Use only alkaline or zinc carbon batteries.
Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged.
Different types of batteries or new and used batteries

are not to be mixed.

Only batteries of the same or equivalent type as

recommended are to be used.

Batteries are to be inserted with the correct polarity.
Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the unit.
The supply terminals are not to be short-circuited.
