How do I check what version rom my 49g+ has? Message #1 Posted by Samantha on 30 Oct 2003, 2:56 p.m. I just received my new 49g+ and have been reading through all the manuals and no where can I find out how to check which version ROM the calculator came with. Can anyone please tell me how to check this? I am VERY FRUSTRATED and have given up after a good hour of looking this up. I'm assuming it's version 1.20 but I'd like to cehck. Thanks.

It's a bit cumbersome, but there's a shifted function called "CAT" (I forget if it's left or right shift; it's not with me right now) and it has every command in it. If you scroll (backwards is faster) down toward the end, there's VERSION. Choose that and that'll do it. Or as rdb says, just type it in and ENTER.

In this case 'v'. Then down, or up, arrow. rdb.

But don't forget to go out of alpha-mode before pressing the OK-key :-) Juergen

I am so used to operating the simpler programmable scientifics, in which I normally use the alphabetical letters as program labels or storage register designators (which does not require hitting an "ALPHA" key) that on the HP-48 or 49 series calculators, I usually waste a couple of seconds or keystrokes deleting the unexpected letter when I meant simply "ENTER" and forgot to turn "ALPHA" off.
