Hi,

Could I ask how do you people find out what version your
HP48sx is? It doesn't seem to be in the owner's manual..

Thanks! 

A proud new owner of HP48sx...

Yes, you can ask, and the answer is:
1: Hold in the ON key.
2: Press and release the D (one of the top menu keys).
3: Release ON.
You should see three vertical bars on the screen.
4: Press <- (Delete on the right hand side).
5: Press EVAL.

You will get a message like:
Version HP48-X
Copyright HP 1989
with the X replaced with the ROM version that you have.

To get out of this,
1: Hold in the ON key.
2: Press and release the C key.
3: Release ON.

Have fun with the HP!

Hi there,

To find your version number,  press ON-D then BACKSPACE to enter the memory
scanner.  Now press EVAL and your version number will be displayed.  Do not
press EVAL at any other address than this.  To Exit the memory scanner,
press ON-C.
