1 Getting Started Welcome to your HP 30b Business Professional financial calculator This booklet is intended to get you started quickly with the basic features of your HP 30b Business Professional financial calculator. Use it for quick reference. For more detailed information about the HP 30b Business Professional, refer to the HP website, www.hp.com/calculators.
• To specify the primary function on the upperface of the key, press the key alone. • To specify the shifted function printed in blue on the lower face of the key, press and release the : key, followed by the desired function key. • To specify the function printed above a key, press and hold : and simultaneously press the key below the printed function. The Shift Key Pressing the shift key,:, turns on a status indicator called an annunciator at the top of the display.
a number on the stack or duplicate it. The Equals Key The Equals key,=, is used at the end of a mathematical operation to calculate the final result. For example, pressing 1+2= in Alge- braic mode returns a final result of 3. The = key, when pressed outside of a mathematical operation, also allows you to request a calculation for the value of an item. This request only applies to items that can be calculated.
The top line of the screen displays operation status, operator symbols, annunciators, and abbreviations of the registers, variables, and menu names. This line is referred to as the top line. In Figure 2, SIN is on the top line. Note the RPN annunciator to the right of the display, indicating that the calculator’s operating mode is RPN. The bottom line displays numbers you have entered, or results. This line is referred to as the bottom line.
Table 1-1 Customizing the Calculator Display/ Function Description FIX= Display precision (the number of digits displayed to the right of the decimal point). Default is 2. Key in the number of digits you want and press or press I, = until the number of digits you want is displayed. The display precision can be any number from 0-11. If you specify -1, the calculator displays numbers with the most appropriate number of digits after the decimal point.
Table 1-1 Customizing the Calculator Display/ Function Description mm.ddyyyy or Format for dates. December 3, 2010 is entered as 12.032010 in mm.ddyyyy format, or 3.122010 in dd.mmyyyy format. Note the (.) in both formats separating the first and second groups. Default is mm.ddyyyy format. dd.mmyyyy Pressing I toggles between these options. Note that when a date is displayed, a number between 1 and 7 also displays at the right of the screen.
Table 1-1 Customizing the Calculator Display/ Function Description Chain, Algebraic, or RPN Calculation mode. Default is Chain. For more information on operating modes, refer to the sections titled, Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) Mode, Algebraic Mode, and Chain Mode below. Pressing I cycles through these options. English, Français, Deutch, or Español Actual or Cal.360 Language setting for messages displayed on screen. Default is English. Pressing Calendar options for bonds and date calculations.
Menus, Menu Items, and Assigning Values to Menu Items Many of the calculator's functions are located within menus. A menu is a catalog which permits you to select an item from a list of options. To access a menu, press the key, or secondary-function, key combination for the menu in which you wish to work. To exit a menu, press O. For example, to access the Bond menu, press B. Once opened, you can scroll through the items in < or > repeatedly.
Figure 4 At this point, to return to the display of the Fixed menu item shown in Figure 3, press O. There are four types of menu items: 1. Read/write. Read/write menu items, such as Fixed in the Break-even menu shown above, are easily recognizable, because when they are selected, both the INPUT and small (=) annunciators are lit. When lit, these annunciators indicate that keying in a number and pressing I will store the entered number in the displayed menu item.
pressed. Depending on the menu, this action can be the selection of a sub-menu (%calc), changing a mode or setting (Mode menu), or erasing data (Reset menu). The Reset Menu The Reset menu allows you to reset some, or all, of the menu items, variables, and registers to their default values. To open the Reset menu, press :x. TVM displays on the top line. Press < or > repeatedly to scroll to a specific item. To validate a choice and reset the selected items, press I. Press O to cancel.
Memory and the Memory Menu The Memory menu contains the following items: memories 1–9 (Mem 1–9) and 0 (Mem 0), Cash Flow, Statistics (Stats), and Memory. To enter the menu, press :t. Press < or > repeatedly to scroll through the items starting with memory 1 (Mem 1). The Cash Flow and Statistics menus share the same memory and are limited to a combined total of 50 memory slots. The number displayed with Memory refers to the number of remaining memory slots.
by an operation key. Pressing the I key is optional after entering a number, if the next key pressed is an operation. Each time you press an operation or function key in RPN, the answer is calculated immediately and displayed. For example, suppose you wanted to add two numbers in RPN, 1 and 2. Press 1I2+. The result, 3.00, is calculated and displayed immediately. There are four special registers used for storing numbers during calculations, which are stacked on top of one another.
One way to calculate this problem is to key in the numbers and operations within the parentheses first, followed by the operation outside of the parentheses. See Table 1-2. Table 1-2 Keys Display and Description 3I 4+ Inputs the numbers and the operation in the first set of parentheses. Intermediate results are displayed. Note the (+) and (RPN) annunciators. 5I 6+ Inputs the numbers and the operation in the second set of parentheses. Intermediate results are displayed. Note the (+) annunciator.
Keys Used to Manipulate the RPN Stack • Press ( to perform a roll down of the stack. Note the small arrow on the key. A roll down moves the numbers in each register down one level, and the number in the bottom register moves up to the top of the stack. • Press Dto perform a swap of the stack. Note the small symbol on the key. A swap operation exchanges the numbers of the X and Y registers of the stack.
order of operation, if you wish to override the left-to-right order of entry. Keys and Functions Table 1-3 describes the keys and their functions. Use this table for quick reference.
