While main power in an automobile is off, a telematics station in the automobile
intermittently runs to execute a process. The station has a first CPU in a wireless
section for a wireless signal waiting process and a second CPU, having active and
sleep modes, in a control section for resetting the first CPU. At resetting timing,
if the first CPU is executing the process, it outputs a signal indicating that
it is executing the process for the second CPU not to reset it. When the main power
turns on, the second CPU determines that the signal is not outputted in order to
reset the first CPU.
