Features and Functions • Complete Solid-State Circuitry with high quality components. • Sealed Keyboard to minimize dust and moisture accumulation • Electronic ON and OFF provides for special powersaving features. Only a traveling decimal is left in the display after typically 25 to 5O seconds of nonuse. The previously displayed value is easily retrieved without interfering with pending operations. The TI.30 turns itself off completely after typically 7 to 14 minutes of nonuse. You will never waste a battery by forgetting to turn your calculator off or by having it turned on accidentally. These features can increase the life of each battery you buy up to 5O%. • Algebraic method of entry allows you to enter mathematical sequences in the same order that they are algebraically stated • Disposable battery power source provides independence from AC power supplies. You can always take weeks of computing power with you wherever you go by simply carrying a few spare batteries. • Easily convertible to a rechargeable power source. 2

of
study.
It
is
through
the

are
tested
and
verified.
Mastery
of
those

techniques
begins
early

continues
throughout
life.
The
11-3O
slide

of
obtaining
answers
to
a
wide
range
of
problems
beginning
with
elemental

and
continuing
through
the
most
complicated
of
situations.
Use
this
calculator
regularly
and
it
will
soon
become
an
inseparable
component
of
your
problem
solving
system.
Years
of
concentrated
research
in
the
calculator
industry
and
the
latest
electronic
advances
have
combined
to
produce
this
versatile
yet
reasonably
priced
calculator.
Here
are
a
few
of
its
features.
Features
and
Functions
Complete
Solid
-State
Circuitry
with
high
quality
components.
Sealed
Keyboard
to
minimize
dust
and
moisture
accumulation
Electronic
ON
and
OFF
provides
for
special
power
-
saving
features.
Only
a
traveling
decimal
is
left
in
the
display
after
typically
25
to
5O
seconds
of
nonuse.
The
previously
displayed
value
is
easily
retrieved
without
interfering
with
pending
operations.
The
TI.30
turns
itself
off
completely
after
typically
7
to
14
minutes
of
nonuse.
You
will
never
waste
a
battery
by
forgetting
to
turn
your
calculator
off
or
by
having
it
turned
on
accidentally.
These
features
can
increase
the
life
of
each
battery
you
buy
up
to
5O%.
Algebraic
method
of
entry
allows
you
to
enter
mathematical
sequences
in
the
same
order
that
they
are
algebraically
stated
Disposable
battery
power
source
provides
independence
from
AC
power
supplies.
You
can
always
take
weeks
of
computing
power
with
you
wherever
you
go
by
simply
carrying
a
few
spare
batteries.
Easily
