￿Note:

The RESET switch can be used not only for initiating the System Menu but also as the forced restart switch when the user application program under development hangs. However, note that if the RESET switch is pressed while the disk is being written to, the data may be corrupted.

￿Therefore, the RESET switch should be pressed only while the power is off.

Clock data or information on the RAM disk will not be lost if the RESET switch is pressed.

Resume Process

When the power is turned on the resume function resumes system operation under the conditions that existed the last time the power was tuned off. Application programs are continued as soon as the power is resumed.

Setup of Resume Process ON/OFF

The default settings have been made so that every OFF factor encountered during the operation of an application program is the objective of the resume process. However, these default setting can be modified so that the system reacts differently to OFF factors by means of the system library. For example, according to the default settings, pressing the Power switch will suspend and resume the execution of an application program. However, it is also possible to simply reboot the system with the Power switch without activating the resume function if such a setup is made. However, note that this setup is not permanent. The resume process is replaced by the boot process once only right after the system library is called.

.

ON Factors

Various ON factors used to turn on the system are explained below.

￿between OFF Factors and ON Processes" on page 24. Pressing the RESET switch
