HP 46 User Manual

Introduction
Now that you own an HP-46, take a little time to read this
guide to reassure yourself that you’ve bought the best.
Your HP-46 has far more computing power than other
small desktop calculators on the market. In fact, its 10—
digit accuracy exceeds the precision to which most of the
physical constants of the universe are known,
For example, there are about 107% atoms in the known
universe. With the HP-46, you could calculate the number
of atoms in ten trillion trillion universes, if you had to,
because it handles numbers up to 10!°% (also down to
10-°?), automatically places the decimal point, and allows
you to round the display to settings ranging from zero to
nine decimal places.
It also provides you with an impact printer with special
alphanumeric capability, which gives you clear, easy-to-read
symbols for every operation you perform, making your
hard copy a truly valuable, permanent record. In addition,
you can work with transcendental functions, such as loga-
rithms, sines and cosines as well as a variety of built-in
constants, polar/rectangular coordinate conversions, selec-
tive operating and display modes, and multiple storage
locations.
If you are a beginner, you will appreciate the step-by-step
explanations in this guide. But even if you are an old hand
at using calculators, you can minimize the time you spend
calculating by following the helpful hints presented
throughout.
