Three Modes of Operation
There are three ways to use your HP-25 calculator:
1. Manual RUN mode provt [IITII] mon
2. PRGM mode PRGM U]]]]]IH:-HUN
3. Automatic RUN mode erc [ITI] ~uv
Manual RUN Mode
The functions and operations you have learned about in the
first four sections of this handbook are performed manually one
at a time with the PRGM-RUN switch set to RUN prev Il rov
These functions combined with the automatic memory stack
enable youto calculate any problem with ease.
PRGM Mode
In PRGM (program) mode the functions and operations you
have learned about are not executed, but instead are recorded
in a part of the calculator called program memory for later
execution. All operations on the keyboard except three can
be recorded for later execution with the PRGM-RUN switch
set to PRGM eron[[[[EMr~ . The three operations that cannot
be recorded are:

These three operations work in PRGM mode to help you write
and record your programs.
Automatic RUN Mode
The HP-25 can also be used to automatically execute a list
of operations with the PRGM-RUN switch set to RUN
erav M =~ if they have previously been recorded in program
memory. Instead of your having to press each key manually,
the recorded operations are executed sequentially in automatic
RUNmode when you press[Ris](run/stop). You press only one
key and the entire list of recorded operations is executed much
more quickly than you could have executed them yourself.
