HP (Hewlett-Packard) 35s Calculator User Manual


 
1-8 Getting Started
Some menus, like the CONST and SUMS, have more than one page. Entering these
menus turns on the
or annunciator. In these menus, use the Õ and Ö
cursor keys to navigate to an item on the current menu page; use the Ø and ×
keys to access the next and previous pages in the menu.
Example:
In this example, we use the DISPLAY menu to fix the display of numbers to 4 decimal
places and then compute 6÷7. The example closes using the DISPLAY menu to return
to full floating point display of numbers.
Menus help you execute dozens of functions by guiding you to them.You don’t have
to remember the names of all the functions built into the calculator nor search
through the functions printed on the keyboard.
Exiting Menus
Whenever you execute a menu function, the menu automatically disappears, as
in the above example. If you want to leave a menu without executing a function, you
have three options:
