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.
