CHAPTER 2
PRECAUTIONS
Overview
It is important that you become familiar with the information
contained in this chapter. You will get the best performance from
your PC-8201 and avoid unnecessary errors if you follow the
precautions outlined here.
Cold & Warm Start
When the PC-8201 is normally turned ON, the contents of the RAM
is not erased. When the previously saved files remain intact and
available for use after the power is turned ON, the process is known
as a "Warm Start".
A "Cold Start" clears all of the contents of the RAM, including any
of your previously saved files. The time and date are even erased
when a Cold Start is performed.
Warm Start:
The Warm Start is performed by simply turning the power switch
ON. This is the method normally used, since it will usually be
desirable to retain files saved in the RAM. The MENU is displayed
on the screen after the Warm Start is performed.
