1Getting Started

Welcome to your HP 12c Financial Calculator

This booklet is intended to get you started quickly with the basic features

of your 12c Financial Calculator. Use it for quick reference. For more

detailed information about the 12c Financial Calculator, refer to the HP

12c Financial Calculator User’s Guide. Pages of the user’s guide are

cited throughout this manual, and it is highly recommended you refer to

the user’s guide to thoroughly familiarize yourself with the many features

of your calculator.

The Keys

Many keys on the HP12c Financial Calculator perform more than one

function. The primary function of a key is indicated by the characters

printed in white on the upper face of the key. The alternate function(s) of

a key are indicated by the characters printed in gold above the key and

the characters printed in blue on the lower face of the key. See Figure 1.

Figure 1

2 Getting Started

• To specify the primary function printed on the upperface of

a key, press the key alone.

• To specify the alternate function printed in gold above a

key, press the gold prefix key

(T), then press the

function key.

• To specify the alternate function printed in blue on the

lower face of a key, press the blue prefix key

(U), then

press the function key.

Pressing the T or U prefix key turns on the corresponding status

indicator — f or g — in the display. After a function key is pressed, the

indicator turns off. Note how function keys for bonds, depreciation, and

clearing are grouped together under brackets printed above the keys in

gold. Unless otherwise indicated, press and release the desired key, or

key combination in order from left to right. You do not need to press and

hold the keys as with a computer or typewriter.

There are a total of six status indicators that appear along the bottom of

the display and signify the status of the calculator for certain opera-

tions. When applicable, the descriptions below identify when an indica-

tor appears on screen.

In this manual, the highlighted portion of the key symbol or symbols rep-

resents the active function of the key. Functions above the keys are

spelled out and preceded by the

T function key.

Customizing the Calculator

Table 1-1 lists some of the basic functions available for customizing the

calculator. The pages of the HP 12c Financial Calculator User’s Guide

Table 1-1 Basic Functions

Functions Display/Description

Getting Started 7

Storage Registers and Continuous Memory

Numbers (data) are stored in memories called “registers.” Special regis-

ters are used for storing numbers during calculations, the “stack” regis-

ters, and the “Last X” register, which is used for storing the last number

in the display before operations are performed in RPN mode. Numbers

are stored automatically in these registers. There are also registers in

which you can manually store data, designated R

through R

, R

through R

, and financial registers used for financial calculations. All

these storage registers make up the calculator’s Continuous memory. All

information in the Continuous memory is preserved even while the cal-

culator is turned off. To reset the memory and clear all of the registers

and return the calculator’s settings to their defaults, turn the calculator

off, and while holding down

Z, press S. With “Pr Error” dis-

played, press any key to return to the default calculator screen.

Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) Mode

The following information is a brief overview of how RPN works. For

more detailed information about RPN and how the stack works, refer to

the HP 12c Financial Calculator User’s Guide. In RPN mode, numbers

are entered first, separated by pressing

R, followed by an operation

key. Pressing R is optional after entering a number, if the next key

pressed is an operation.

Each time you press an operation or function key in RPN, the answer is

calculated immediately and displayed. For example, suppose you

wanted to add two numbers in RPN, 1 and 2. Press

1R2;.

8 Getting Started

The result, 3.00, is calculated and displayed immediately.

There are four special registers used for storing numbers during calcula-

tions, which are stacked on top of one another. Called “the stack,” these

registers are designated X,Y, Z, and T. X is on the bottom, and T is on

the top. Unless the calculator is in Program mode, the number in the dis-

play is the number in the X-register. Primarily, the numbers in the X- and

Y-registers are the numbers used in calculations. The Z and T registers

are used for the automatic retention of intermediate results during chain

calculations.

The

R key separates numbers in the vertical stack and positions them

in the X- and Y-registers, and, in addition to displaying intermediate

results, this vertical arrangement of the stack allows you to copy and

rearrange numbers without reentering them. For more complex prob-

lems requiring two or more operations, you do not need to enter paren-

theses to set operational priority. Key in numbers and operations inside

the parentheses first, followed by those outside of the parentheses. If a

problem has more than one set of parentheses, start by working with the

operations and numbers in the innermost parentheses and work out.

For example, in RPN mode calculate . See

Table 1-2. Although this is a simple example, you can use the principles

introduced here when working with more complex problems.

Keys used to rearrange the stack:

•Pressing the P key exchanges the numbers in the

X-and Y-registers

(pages 74 and 172).

•Pressing the O key performs a roll down of the

stack, where each number in the registers is copied

into the register below, and the number formerly in

the X-register is copied into the T-register

(page 172).

•Pressing

Ur recalls the number displayed

before the previous operation back into the

displayed X-register. (pages 74 and 176).

Keys and Functions

Table 1-3 lists some of the keys used for basic operations, mathematical

calculations, and financial problems. Use this table for quick reference.
