I'm sorry but this sounds a bit dangerous. You should never put batteries
backwards intentionally in a digital device. Microchips are very sensitive
and this surge of backwards current could cause damage or short life to the
calc. I suggest you use the ) and (-) key method. Its safe, works 100% of
the time, and is actually in the maunal!!!!
