Description Notes

Hewlett-Packard HP-11C electronic pocket calculator and owner’s handbook and problem-solving guide. The calculator has molded brown plastic keys and an LED display panel. There are instructions on the back for inserting batteries as well as some of the functions and features of the calculator in a table format.

A special feature of this calculator is a continuous memory (so no information is lost) as power is conserved by automatically shutting itself off if it is left on and inactive for more than 8-17 minutes.

The accompanying booklet is spiral bound and published in November 1985 and printed in Canada. Some of the sections include “Getting Started”, “The Automatic Memory Stack, LAST X, and Data Storage” and “Programming Techniques”. All 11 of the sections are listed on the back of the booklet.

Calculator is in working order and in good condition.
