If a SYSTEM lockup should occur, first try a "soft" reset by powering the A1

down and powering back up. If this does not solve the problem, a "hard'
SYSTEM reset can be done by holding down the WRITE button and
PROGRAM-1 key during power up.
CAUTION: The SYSTEM RESET function will erase all programs in the A1
internal memory. It is always a good practice to back up your programs !
