Caution

Do not reset the computer as a means to exit a program.

Some programs classify and store new data when you exit

them in the normal manner. If you reset the computer

without properly exiting a program, you may lose data.

To reset the computer, the operating system must be either on

the hard disk or on a diskette in drive A; so if you do not have a

hard disk, insert the system diskette in drive A.

There are two ways to reset the computer:

If you are using MS-DOS, hold down

and

and

press the

key. The screen goes blank for a moment

and then the computer should reload MS-DOS. If it doesn’t,

try the next method.

Press the RESET button on the front panel. This method

works even when the computer does not respond to your

keyboard entries.

If resetting the computer does not correct the problem, you

probably need to turn it off and reboot it. Remove any

diskette(s) from the diskette drive(s). Turn off the computer

and wait five seconds. If you do not have a hard disk, insert the

system diskette in drive A. Then turn on the computer.
