Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The calculator itself is probably a fine instrument. It may be great for users who have already learned somehow to use it. It may be fine for users who do not need to use its advanced features.
But if you need help in learning how to use its advanced features, documents supplied by HP are poor aids. By searching I found other learning aids (a book by Thomas Barber and a tutorial by Merv Newton at Thiel College) which fill some gaps. But still I wish I had a clear, well edited, helpfully organized users manual.
My difficulty in using the calculator does not pertain to its Reverse Polish Notation RPN. I have no difficulty with RPN.
To tell a story, I was trying to learn to use the calculator with the User's Manual supplied with the calculator by HP. Pushing keys in the sequence they suggest, I found myself locked in the equation editor when I reached the end of one section of the User's Manual. I could not figure out how to get out of the equation editor. The manual did not tell. I could not figure out how to clear or reset the thing. If you turn it off and then on again, it comes back to the same place. Later somewhere I found how to do a "warm restart" (Hold down ON while pressing and releasing F3).
I still hope to learn to use this calculator because I need the powers it promises. But good training manuals appear to be lacking
