set the HP48 to FIX number format : RS+CST (MODES) and [+/-] until you see "Fix"; or just type: 2 FIX [ENTER]

Yes it is, in the 48SX two-volume spiral bound set, page 58. I cannot speak for the other manual versions.

Thanks, Martin.

I checked, it is also described in page 4-6 of the HP 48G User's Guide manual. Now I can search the pdf manual, thanks to members Egan and Jonathan.
