What's wrong with ON+C reset? A better recommendation is just avoid using it for anything longer than 10 mins (chances are it will hang and erase all and/or you will struggle back and forth with the generic errors trying to discover what's wrong with your input)

Problem with ON+C is the possible mistake on sequence of operation and you can easily lock the Prime in the sort of "connected mode" that you cannot leave without hard reset. I already reported this issue before the last major firmware release but no change. To be fair I almost feel guilty I gave it to my son for some serious purposes. I really warned him he may be in trouble with this calc and I hope he will invest some time to tame it and circumvent the risks.
