It turns off the clock (but 42s has no clock (?)) and displays "MACHINE RESET" when turned on again.

Did not know (or remember if I did) that, thanks Massimo. Was this discovered by users (maybe noted in a PPC Journal, etc.) as I'm pretty sure it is not documented in the manuals?

I am pretty sure I got it from a post here, many years ago.
There was a time I had a 42s with batteries in, and I always turned it off this way.

...then I put the batteries out. :)
