Resetting the CASSIOPEIA
If your CASSIOPEIA responds slowly, stops responding as expected, or “freezes,” try
resetting it. A reset causes the CASSIOPEIA to restart and re-adjust memory allocation.
Unsaved data in open windows may be lost.
To reset the CASSIOPEIA, use the stylus to press and hold the Reset button for about two
seconds.
