This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the

limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC

rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection

against harmful interference in a residential installation. This

equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency

energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the

instructions, may cause harmful interference with radio

communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference

will not occur in a particular installation.

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or

television reception, which can be determined by turning the

equipment off and on, you can try to correct the interference by

one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different

from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television

technician for help.

viii Introduction

The structure of the TI-80 guidebook and the design of its pages can help you

find the information you need quickly. Consistent presentation techniques are

used throughout to make the guidebook easy to use.

The guidebook is designed to teach you how to use the

calculator.

¦Getting Started is a fast-paced, keystroke-by-keystroke

introduction.

¦Chapter 1 describes general operation and lays the

foundation for Chapters 2 through 10, which describe

specific functional areas of the TI-80. Most chapters begin

with a brief Getting Started introduction.

¦Chapter 11 contains application examples that incorporate

features from different functional areas of the calculator.

These examples can help you see how different functional

areas work together to accomplish meaningful tasks.

¦Chapter 12 describes memory management.

When possible, units of information are presented on a single

page or on two facing pages. Several page-design elements

help you find information quickly.

¦Page headings—The descriptive heading at the top of the

page or two-page unit identifies the subject of the unit.

¦General text—Just below the page heading, a short

section of bold text provides general information about

the subject covered in the unit.

¦Left-column subheadings—Each subheading identifies a

specific topic or task related to the page or unit subject.

Introduction ix

¦Specific text—The text to the right of a subheading

presents detailed information about that specific topic or

task. The information may be presented as paragraphs,

numbered procedures, bulleted lists, or illustrations.

¦Page “footers”—The bottom of each page shows the

chapter name, chapter number, and page number.

Several conventions are used to present information concisely

and in an easily referenced format.

¦Numbered procedures—A procedure is a sequence of

steps that performs a task. In this guidebook, each step is

numbered in the order in which it is performed. No other

text in the guidebook is numbered; therefore, when you

see numbered text, you know you should perform the

steps sequentially.

¦Lists with bullets—If several items have equal

importance, or if you may choose one of several

alternative actions, this guidebook precedes each item

with a “bullet” (¦) to highlight it—like this list.

¦Tables and charts—Sets of related information are

presented in tables or charts for quick reference.

¦Keystroke examples—The Getting Started examples

provide keystroke-by-keystroke instructions, as do the

numerous short examples and several detailed examples

that are identified with a .

x Introduction

Several techniques have been used to help you look up

specific information when you need it. These include:

¦A chapter table of contents on the first page of each

chapter, as well as the full table of contents at the front of

the guidebook.

¦A glossary at the end of this section, defining important

terms used throughout the guidebook.

¦An alphabetical table of functions and instructions in

Appendix A, showing their correct formats, how to access

them, and page references for more information.

¦Information about system variables in Appendix A.

¦A table of error messages in Appendix B, showing the

messages and their meanings and giving problem-handling

information.

¦An alphabetical index at the back of the guidebook, listing

tasks and topics you may need to look up.
