GRAD indicator on financial calcs Message #1 Posted by mapet on 8 Feb 2002, 4:27 a.m. I have recently noticed that some of financial calcs that have no trig functions have GRAD indicator on the display. It could be seen during running self test. I wonder why? My guess is that the same LCD was used for other (sci) calcs...

BTW, on the 12C, the BEGIN indicator is of no use for the other calcs, and the C indicator is common to the 12C and the 15C... BTW2, the GRAD indicator is also used as RAD indicator (without the "G" of course)
