Abstract
A two-MCU system includes a main-MCU and a sub-MCU. When any one of operating keys is operated, an operation signal is applied to the sub-MCU. Thereupon, the sub-MCU detects the operation of the operating key, and makes a timer start to count a time period. The sub-MCU, when no specified command is received from the main-MCU irrespective of a lapse of a predetermined time period, determines that the main-MCU is being in a hang-up state. Then, the sub-MCU applies a reset signal to a reset circuit thereby to reset the main-MCU, and the two-MCU system returns from the hang-up.
