English: 

If the computer unit is connected to a PC or laptop via a USB cable, you can now perform operations such as 
loading or saving games 

 see Section 6. 

If instead you press the GREEN button, the device switches off. 

Or if you press the RED button, it reverts to an info screen or the main menu. 

If switched off in the correct manner (as above), the computer will still retain the current game in its memory, 
with the parameters (level, etc.) that you have specified, even if you afterwards disconnect the power. When 
the power is reconnected, the computer automatically switches on. To switch on when the power has not 
been disconnected, press the ON/Off button.  

After switching on, you can resume from where you left off.

Reset 

If you wish to delete all previous data: 

Disconnect the device from the power supply.

Hold down the RED button and reconnect the power.

Keep the RED button held down until the start screen appears (as in Section 2.2). The computer is
now in the same state as when you first acquired it. This operation may occasionally be useful in case
of a problem you don’t understand.
