KING ARTHUR

CHAPTER 10:

IMPORTANT TECHNICAL DETAILS

10.1 The ACL button

King Arthur may occasionally “freeze up” or refuse to function properly because of static electric discharge. If this happens, press the

ALL CLEAR (ACL) button.

To do this, turn King Arthur upside-down so the battery compart-

ment is on the upper right. The button is recessed. You'll see a "dimple" toward the bottomALL rightCLEAR. It has a small hole in it. Gently push a ballpoint pen or a straightened paper clip into the hole and then release. You'll again hear King Arthur's ready tones.

SPECIAL NOTE: After you push the ACL button, King Arthur will have forgot- ten any game positions that may have been in his memory.

10.2 Special Care

υ Avoid rough handling such as bumping or dropping.

υ Avoid moisture and extreme temperatures. Store away from windows and other direct sources of heat and cold, such as heating, air vents or direct sunlight. For best results, use between the temperatures of 39º and 100º Fahrenheit (4º and 38º Celsius).

υ Clean using only a slightly damp cloth. Do not use cleaners with chemical agents.
