Analogue-sequencer

Colin, I got my sequencer working (still havent hooked it up via MIDI 
to anything) but was wondering if there was some protocol to getting it 
right off the bat.. Some sort of correct sequence of events..  install 
battery, count to 3 say the magic word, press the magic button then 
apply power..    It took me a couple returns under the hood to get mine 
to work properly (visually at least) and at least once I had to 
disconnect the battery for a few seconds to un-lock it up.   

searching the archives I found F1+7 while turning it on to be an 
initialisation sequence?

any words of wisdom here?
thanks
