5. RESETTING YOUR COMPUTER
Under certain conditions your computer may get into a state where it will not
respond to the keys you press.
If you are sure that low battery voltage is
not the cause (if you are not sure, refer to “Low Battery Safeguards,”) you
should follow one or more of the steps in the following procedures:
l
Reset the computer by pressing Shift CTRL Break. (Drives A and B are
not affected by this reset, but user memory is, and any work not
stored to Edisc or a flexible disc is lost.) If the main PAM
screen appears, the computer has been reset, and you do not need to
use any further steps.
l
If the main PAM screen did not appear when you performed step 1,
press Shift CTRL Extend char Break.
(This resetting method has the
same effect on user memory as in step 1, above.) If the main PAM
screen appears, the computer has been reset and you do not need to
use any further steps.
l
If the main PAM screen did not appear when you performed step 2, turn
off the computer by holding down the contrast key
.The display
will darken to its maximum and then, after a few seconds, will turn
off .
Press the contrast key to turn the computer back on. This
resetting method has the same effect on user memory as in step 1,
above.
l
If, after performing all of the preceding resets, there is still no
response, have your unit serviced by higher maintenance levels.
Take
a picture of what is occuring on the screen by turning on the printer
and depressing the SHIFT and PRINT keys at the same time.
Save this
printout for use when reporting the incident. Write a complete
description of the problem and what you were attempting to do.
