hey maybe you will know. my manual is packed up for an office move...
as you know i have two of them. the one at my house, i must have messed up a default setting. how do i get my calc to show 3.14...instead of the Pi sign? the one at my office cranks out the number. at home i have to purple arrow/number key.

You geek! LOL...
(I've got a 48S, but it's always shown the pi-sign call for it AFAI-recall...when I want the numeric valvue, I just type it in) |

Vash,
Use the search function! Here is a link to a manual! Joe A PS and this is coming from someone who grew up using a TI SR-10!  http://www.hpmuseum.org/cgi-sys/cgiwrap/hpmuseum/archv007.cgi?read=15497

LOL!
and all this time I've been meaning to post about an HP12C problem. seems that somehow something went awry and now it wants to round up everything I enter to the nearest whole number. annoying as hell, I say. anyone know how to reset that? I don't have the manual either

I'm still using a 15 year old HP 32S -rpn.
I love that reverse polish notation. I also have a TI Voyage 200. You've gotta love a calc that can take the derivative and integrate.

Go check out the HP website, they have the manuals online. That's where I always go, the one in print with my 49G+ is tiny, and only covers maybe a tenth of it's abilities.

wow, two hours lost. but i found it.
souk, go to MODE, check flags, and activate constant to number, and function to number, i bet it is the same on your 48. ronin, i think i can figure yours too. i have a 20S that is similar. and i had the same issue.

I still use the HP12C for financial and HP11C for scientific. I had a HP48G but gave it to my dad - too hard to remember how to use it, if you don't use it frequently. Used to have a HP25C, that was a nice little calculator. I grew up using slide rules (jr high and high school) then TI calculators. Always wanted HPs but couldn't afford them when I was a kid. Love RPN.

Just because you have to try harder to use your calculator doesn't make you cool. That goes for all you Linux users out there too!

Thanks, I never bothered figuring it out. I just finish entering the problem and then hit the "num" button. I assume this fix sets it so PI is always shown as a number rather than PI.
