To reboot, press Ctrl+Alt+Del. This displays the 'Welcome' screen:
Press any of the 'normal' keys (such as E) and the MP2500 will perform
a normal MS-DOS boot, configuring the system as specified by the
CONFIG.SYS file and executing the commands in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file
(in the root directory of drive C). Note execution of the AUTOEXEC.BAT
and CONFIG.SYS can be avoided by holding down the S (LEFT-SHIFT)
key.
If an application has disabled Ctrl+Alt+Del, you cannot reboot in this way
and must instead use the emergency breakout method, described in
Chapter 9.
Depending on how the MP2500 is set up, this may start an application
automatically, or take you to MS-DOS command mode, for you to use MS-
DOS commands or run applications by typing the appropriate commands.
(If you want to leave the application, you should have been provided with
instructions on how to do this. If not, see Chapter 9.)

7.3 The screen

7.3.1 Introduction

The MP2500 has a large LCD (liquid crystal display) screen, which can
show up to 10 lines of 60 characters and pictures using a grid of 240 by 64
dots.
The screen is protected by a tough, scratch-resistant plastic window.
However, it can be scratched if mistreated, so please take care.
Because the LCD display works by contrast, rather than by emitting its own
light, it is perfectly visible no matter how bright the light is. In bad light, the
backlight provides excellent visibility.
