Internal design[edit | edit source]
When looking inside the calculator, it is quite clear that is designed to be low cost. The design consists of two boards, one for the keypad which is plastic riveted to the front case, and a second board that houses the ASIC and display module. An external power connector is included to power the calculator from an AC adapter.
