Re: HP-35 Version 1 Red Dot Message #3 Posted by Michael de Estrada on 5 Jan 2009, 4:03 p.m., in response to message #2 by Katie Wasserman
Thank you for your reply. I suppose HP may not have mentioned this oddity as a "bug", since it does not result in erroneous results; only affects ease of operation. I find it curious that the manual supplied with my Version 3 specifically states on page 13 that "To enter negative powers of ten, you MUST press CH S (Change Sign) BEFORE keying in the power of ten." However, the Version 3 does not have this problem, so perhaps this manual was prepared by HP prior to the fix being implemented. Do you have a manual for your Version 2, and if so, what does it say in this matter? My Red Dot manual simply gives an example in which the exponent negative sign is entered prior to the digit, but does not elaborate.
