Forgotten your password?
If you forget a password for a Word or Sheet file, you will not be able to open
the file again until you remember the correct password.
If you forget the password for the whole machine, you will not be able to use
your MC 218 until you perform a ‘hard reset’. All the files on the internal disk
drive will be lost.
See the “Resetting Your MC 218” section above for more information.
Problems switching on and off?
If your MC 218 does not seem to switch on:
• Check the screen contrast.
• Replace the main batteries. If you continue to use your MC 218 when the
main batteries are low, it loses power and switches off. You cannot switch
it on again until you replace the main batteries.
If your MC 218 does not seem to switch off:
• Check the automatic switch off time by using the Switch on/off icon in the
Control panel on the Desktop.
Note! If you use Program (OPL), note that a running OPL program can
prevent automatic switch off if it neither pauses nor waits for a keypress.

programs to indicate that the MC 218 memory is almost full, and there is not
enough memory to perform some tasks.
Many of the things you do need just a little free memory in order to work:
displaying dialogs, menus, etc. These can fail with a message like ‘Memory
full’. Do not worry, the MC 218 will not allow you to use all of the available
memory; it always sets aside enough memory for you to close a program or
