When
the
CE·159
is
used as a RAM area, the reserve area can
be
secured inside
the
mod·
ule, as illustrated. (The reserve area inside the
PC
·1500 can be cleared.) The BASIC
program is written from the CE·159, while variables are
secured
from the PC·1500.
With
the
CE·159 connected
to
the
PC·
1
500,
the
tota
l memory capacity becomes
10
K
bytes
including t
he
reserve area.
When
U$Cd
as a
RAM
area, this rnemory
capacity
makes
it
possible
to
write
a program,
secure variables, char\ge and write the r
eserve
contents.
When an e:xclusive readout area is set, writing
or
program change in this area
becomes
im
·
possible. Therefore, only
the
remaining
RAM
areacan
be
used as variable$. (The reserve
a
te
a can
also
be
made
f
or
exclusi
ve
use
in readouts. making writi
ng
or program change
impossible.t

CELL LIFE
AND
REPLACEMENT
Cell
life
The
life
of
a lithium cell in
the
CE·159
is
about
5 years at normal temperature (25°C)
when
the
CE·159
is
connec
ted
to
the computer,
Md
about
2 years
when
disconnected
from the computer. The contents
of
the
CE·t 59 can
be
therefore r

for these
periods
of
time, respectively.
