7. TECHNICAL DETAILS

7.1 The ACL Function

Computers sometimes "lock up" due to static discharge
or other electrical disturbances. If this occurs, take out the
batteries and use a pin or another sharp object to press
into the hole marked ACL at the top edge of the unit for at
least one second. This resets the computer and clears its
memory.

7.2 Care and Maintenance

Your chess computer is a precision electronic device,
and should never be subjected to rough handling or
exposed to moisture or extreme temperatures. Do not use
chemical agents to clean the unit, as they can damage
the plastic. Weak batteries should be replaced promptly,
since they can leak and damage the computer.
