We understand that your problem is: Hi. I'm using the Victor Financial Calculator V10 and I have a few problems. First, Whenever I type in numbers I can't see the values until I hit enter. The other problem I have is that whenever I plug values into the n, i/y, pv, pmt, and fv buttons it always gives me the incorrect answer regardless of which I am solving for. Any help would be awesome. Thanks..

On any SHARP scientific calculator the combination button is always above the 5 (except the financial calculator). To get a combination type in the n value (the total number of items) press 2nd F and the 5 button and then type in the number of selected items and press =.

Honestly, I do not understand what you mean. This calculator is designed to run commands one after the other. You may stack a few of them only if you do not need the output of the first ones.
Anyway, the memory is limited and that includes the register where the current line is stored. If you enter too many characters, the calculator stops accepting them and the cursor will change shape.

If memory is full you can no longer do anything. One simple way to regain some working memory (RAM) is to clear entries (the commands you typed). Press [2nd] [+] to enter memory managem2nt and select the command ClearEntries. You can also select ClearAllLists, or Reset. For the last choice you can then choose to reset ALL RAM.

Use the y^x key located just above the 9 key to raise the number to the third power. For example, to cube 5, press
5 y^x 3 =

Hi suebie50

Have a great day.

To change the output to decimal form, you can do the following:
Go to Math mode, then SHIFT, MODE (set-up), 2 (lineIO).
The answer will show in decimal format.

Hope it helps.

Thank you for using fixya.

You can use the I/YR key on the top row to enter/calculate the interest rate.

We can't tell whether your numbers are correct or not without seeing them. Could you post the problem?

To set the time on this calculator, you must press and hold the time key until the display is flashing 0. (Hint: you will want the date displaying when you are going to set the time as when you press the time key to hold it, it will switch over to the time.) Once the display is flashing you type in the time using the keypad. If you were going to set the time for 9:30, you plug in 930 and push the time key again. If you need to set it for a time in the PM you would have to use the 24 hour scale; for example 1:30 PM would be 1330. To set the date, you press and hold the time key with the date displaying until the display begins flashing. Again you would use the numbers on the keypad to enter the date and press the time key again to set it. For 1/20/2011 you would type in 12011.

Hello,
If I understand correctly you result do not display any decimal.
If you want a fixed number of decimal digits (exemple 2) Press the [MODE] key a number of times until you reach the screen that displays Fix Sci Nom and under them the numbers 1 2 3
Press 1 to choose Fixed format followed by 2 for TWO Digits
3 decimal digits [MODE] ---------[1 ] (Fix) 3
Hope it helps.
