Abstract
A method for operating an electronic device that is supplied with electric power by a continuous energy accumulator. A predetermined ending of the first program is monitored in a program step by a second program. If the first program is not switched off as predetermined, the second program generates an error message which is displayed immediately when the device is switched on again.
