5.2 Warm start

A warm start is the complete initialization of hard- and software.

After a warm start (message: Ws!->C) an application program will be started automatically, if an

autostart file with any name and the extension „AST“ has been generated beforehand on the disk. This

automatic restart process can be supressed by not activating „C“ but the „F1“-key followed by keys

„2071828“. After this, the functions of the operating system-basic menu can be used.

5.3 Reset

A reset means the most profound level to process an initialization of hard- and software. The reset pro-

vokes an abandonment of the running application programm at any given position. To proceed, the re-

set-key in the accumulator compartment may be activated. Note that the accumulator block should only

be removed if the HW 90196 is switched off, as otherwise files could be damaged during running write

operations.

If an application program is stored on the Flash-Disk, it will be started automatically after a reset with the

stored file and extension „AST“ without needing further instructions of user. The automatic start of the

application program after reset can be suppressed by activating a combination of keys as followed: press

at same time: „F1+F4+0“. Only in this case the operating system will check the Flash-Disk.

The following message „Ws! -> C“ must not be confirmed with the ‚C‘-key as otherwise the application

program will be automatically started (see chap. above 5.2).

In order to initiate a reset, proceed as follows:

1. Take out the accu block (with switched off HW 90196).

2. Press the reset-key which is located under the accu block and above the sticker (see also

fig 17, p. 52).

Do press the reset-key carefully, with low expenditure of force. You may want to use a bend up

paper clip, e.g..

3. Insert the accu block. The HW 90196 is automatically switched on again.
