HP Calculator “takes over” part of your OmniBook’s keyboard and reassigns functions
to it. You can see these functions and the applicable keys on the display of calculator
buttons—for example, pressing the
Q
key takes the square root of the number in the
Calc line.
Hints
•
Use
BACKSPACE
to correct a single keystroke on the Calc line.
•
Use
DEL
to erase the entire Calc line and reset it to zero.
To do simple arithmetic
1. Type the calculation in the Calc line.
2. Press
ENTER
(or the
=
key).
Your OmniBook’s HP Calculator application starts in algebraic mode, shown by the
letters ALG in the status line. When algebraic mode is active, you can type a number
into the Calc line, then type an arithmetic operator like +, then type another number and
press
ENTER
or the
=
key to see the answer.
