HP15 C usage question
Message #1 Posted by Gilberto Pontes on 20 May 2006, 1:56 p.m.

Hello,

I have a HP15c and lost my manual. I have 4 number zeros in my display [0.0 00] and a letter "C" bellow the zeros at the right side. How do I get rid of them? How did they get there? I don`t remember doing any key combinations that would result on this..

Hi,

Your calculator is in SCI or ENG display mode -- the two zeroes on the right are the exponent. Say "f FIX 2" to restore the default mode.
The "C" indicates the calculator is in Complex mode. To switch back to Real mode, say "g CF 8".
