Introduction - HP -10C Owner's Handbook Manual

Introduction

Congratulations! Your selection of an HP-10C calculator with Continuous
Memory demonstrates your interest in quality, capability, and ease of use. You
may be an experienced HP calculator user or you may be using an HP calculator
for the first time. The primary goals of this handbook are to introduce you to all
of the HP-10C features and to help you learn as quickly as possible how to use
these features, regardless of your prior experience. Your anticipated use of the
HP-10C and your level of prior experience with HP programmable calculators
will determine how much time you need to devote to this handbook.
This handbook is divided into eight main sections. However, before reading
these sections, gain some experience using your HP-10C by working through
the introductory material entitled Your HP-10C: A Problem Solver, on page 7.
Section 1, Getting Started, covers the general operating information that both
new and experienced HP calculator users should know. Sections 2 through 4
cover information that is more important to new users.
Sections 5 through 8 describe how to use the programming capabilities of the
HP-10C.
The various appendices describe additional details of calculator operation, as
well as warranty and service information.
The Function Key Index and Program Key Index at the back of the handbook
can be used for quick reference to each function key and as a handy page
reference to the comprehensive information inside the manual.
