Hewlett-Packard Company 4995 Murphy Canyon Rd, Suite 301 San Diego,CA 92123 Printing History Edition 2 December 2003 Preface You have in your hands a compact symbolic and numerical computer that will facilitate calculation and mathematical analysis of problems in a variety of disciplines, from elementary mathematics to advanced engineering and science subjects. This manual contains examples that illustrate the use of the basic calculator functions and operations. The chapters in this user's manual are organized by subject in order of difficulty: from the setting of calculator modes, to real and complex number calculations, operations with lists, vectors, and matrices, graphics, calculus applications, vector analysis, differential equations, probability and statistics. For symbolic operations the calculator includes a powerful Computer Algebraic System (CAS), which lets you select different modes of operation, e.g., complex numbers vs. real numbers, or exact (symbolic) vs. approximate (numerical) mode. The display can be adjusted to provide textbook-type expressions, which can be useful when working with matrices, vectors, fractions, summations, derivatives, and integrals. The high-speed graphics of the calculator are very convenient for producing complex figures in very little time. Thanks to the infrared port and the USB cable available with your calculator, you can connect your calculator with other calculators or computers. The high-speed connection through infrared or USB allows the fast and efficient exchange of programs and data with other calculators or computers. The calculator provides a flash memory card port to facilitate storage and exchange of data with other users. We hope your calculator will become a faithful companion for your school and professional applications.

The exercises are aimed at familiarizing yourself with the basic operations and settings before actually performing a calculation. Basic Operations The following exercises are aimed at getting you acquainted with the hardware of your calculator. Batteries The calculator uses 3 AAA (LR03) batteries as main power and a CR2032 lithium battery for memory backup. Before using the calculator, please install the batteries according to the following procedure. To install the main batteries a. Make sure the calculator is OFF. Slide up the battery compartment cover as illustrated. b. Insert 3 new AAA (LR03) batteries into the main compartment. Make sure each battery is inserted in the indicated direction. To install the backup battery a. Make sure the calculator is OFF. Press down the holder. Push the plate to the shown direction and lift it. Page 1-1 b. Insert a new CR2032 lithium battery. Make sure its positive (+) side is facing up. c. Replace the plate and push it to the original place. After installing the batteries, press [ON] to turn the power on. Warning: When the low battery icon is displayed, you need to replace the batteries as soon as possible. However, avoid removing the backup battery and main batteries at the same time to avoid data lost. Turning the calculator on and off The $ key is located at the lower left corner of the keyboard. Press it once to turn your calculator on. To turn the calculator off, press the red right-shift key @ (first key in the second row from the bottom of the keyboard), followed by the $ key. Notice that the $ key has a red OFF label printed in the upper right corner as a reminder of the OFF command. Adjusting the display contrast You can adjust the display contrast by holding the $ key while pressing the + or - keys. The $(hold) + key combination produces a darker display The $(hold) - key combination produces a lighter display Contents of the calculator's display Turn your calculator on once more. At the top of the display you will have two lines of information that describe the settings of the calculator. The first line shows the characters: RAD XYZ HEX R= 'X' Page 1-2 For details on the meaning of these specifications see Chapter 2 in the calculator's user's guide. The second line shows the characters { HOME } indicating that the HOME directory is the current file directory ...
