Note:
The RESET switch can be used not only for initiating the System Menu but also as the forced
restart witch 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 settings 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.
Pressing the Power switch
If the Power switch is pressed while the system is off, the system power can be tuned on. When
the power is turned on the system operation sequence proceeds as described in "Relationship
between OFF Factors and ON Processes" on page 24.
Pressing the RESET switch
Press the RESET switch to turn on the system power. In this case the System Menu will always
be initiated.
This terminal has the Auto Power ON function which automatically starts the system. This Auto
Power ON function can operate in one of the following three ways:
