About This Manual
This HP 95LX Quick Start Guide is to get those of you with
Lotus® 1-2-3® experience off to a quick start with the HP 95LX.
If you do not know 1-2-3, then you should read chapter 2 of the
HP 95LX User’s Guide, “Using 1-2-3.”
It’s best if you read this book from cover to cover. It’s easy going, and
you’ll be surprised at how much you’ll learn. The features that are
introduced here are:
m 1-2-3: for spreadsheets on the HP 95LX.
m The Filer: for file transfer between the HP 95LX and a PC
(personal computer).
m The Financial Calculator: for calculations in money matters. If you
have used HP financial calculators, this will be very familiar.
m The Appointment Book: for your schedules.
m The Phone Book: for records of names and other data.
m The Memo Editor: for simple text entry.
Remember that all procedures and information appear in the
comprehensive HP 95LX User’s Guide. Once you have read the Quick
Start Guide, the User’s Guide can serve you as a reference manual.
