8. TECHNICAL DETAILS

8.1 The ACL Function

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

8.2 Care and Maintenance

Your chess computer is a precision electronic device, and
should not be subjected to rough handling or exposed to
extreme temperatures or moisture. Be sure to disconnect the
adapter (if applicable) and remove the batteries before
cleaning this unit. Do not use chemical agents or liquids to
clean the unit, as they may damage the plastic.
Weak batteries should be replaced promptly, since they
can leak and damage the computer. Please also note the
following regarding the use of batteries. Warning: Use only
alkaline or zinc carbon batteries. Do not mix different
types of batteries or new and used batteries. Do not
recharge non-rechargeable batteries. Use only the rec-
ommended batteries or equivalent. Be sure to observe
the correct polarity when inserting batteries. Worn out
batteries should be removed from the unit promptly. Do
not short circuit the supply terminals.
If an AC-DC adapter is used with this unit, it must be as

ing the use of an AC-DC adapter. Warning: Use a center
positive adapter with safety isolating transformer. The
polarity symbols confirming its center positivity should
be clearly marked on the adapter, and the adapter must
