Except for models for the Elbonian market, where "reset" is a word that would
stop a clock and "interrupt" isn't much better, thus necessitating a
different case moulding, or careful doctoring of each unit with a Dremel, or
something.
Or, you could just have a symbol, and a note in the manual (you *did* read the
manual, didn't you?) explaining what it means, in whatever language you want.
