Re: A89: strange things that happen when the batteries are low
hmm. that sounds kind of funny. my batteries
were low about a week ago and i just changed them yesterday. i
didn't notice anything like that. it sure didn't turn off when i
went into the var-link and then back to the home screen. as far as
the pauses, i'm not sure if i noticed them. i don't usually scroll
up in the history area. and i also didn't notice the disappearing
0/30. mainly, i'm just saying i know my calc didn't turn off when i
went into the var-link and back to the homescreen on low batteries.
