Turning On At Other Times - Husky MP2500 Manual

Note that the Welcome screen can be disabled. If it is, the MS-DOS prompt
will be displayed instead, without having to press any keys first.
If there is no AUTOEXEC.BAT file, MS-DOS will prompt you for the date
and time, by displaying a prompt like this:
Current date is Tue 1-01-1980
Enter new date (mm-dd-yy):
Type the date in the indicated format and press E and you will be
prompted for the time, something like this:
Current time is 0:00:01.00
Enter new time:
Type the time now (in the format hh:mm or hh:mm:ss, 24 hour clock) and
press E.
If you are not going to set up now, turn off by pressing P again, to
conserve power.

5.3.2 Turning on at other times

Normally, when you turn on the MP2500 will continue with what it was doing
when last turned off, as if you had never turned off. This is quite unlike a
conventional desktop computer, which reboots each time it is turned on.
If you cannot see anything on the screen, you may need to adjust the
screen contrast. This is particularly likely if the MP2500 has previously been
used in much warmer or colder conditions. Hold down the S key and press
G or H until the screen is clearly visible. If this does not help, the batteries
may be run down, or there may be something wrong with the MP2500: see
Chapter 9.
