11. TECHNICAL DETAILS
11.1 The ACL Function

Computers sometimes “lock up” due to static discharge 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.

11.2 Care and Maintenance

Your computer is a precision electronic device, and should not be

subjected to rough handling or exposed to extreme temperatures or
moisture. Do not use chemical agents or liquids to clean the unit, as
they may damage the plastic. Be sure to remove the batteries before
cleaning the unit.

Weak batteries should be replaced promptly, since they can leak

and damage the computer. Please also note the following, regarding
the use of batteries.

Caution: Use only alkaline or zinc carbon batter-

ies. Do not mix different types of batteries or new and used batteries.
Do not recharge non-rechargeable batteries. Use only recommended
batteries or equivalent. Be sure to observe the correct polarity when
inserting the batteries. Worn out batteries should be removed from
the unit promptly. Do not short circuit the supply terminals.
