| Lifetime: |
Introduced: 1988 Terminated: unknown |
| Notes: |
The TI-30 SOLAR is solely solar cell
powered. It has all the basic functions of a scientific
calculator, excluding statistical functions. The solar cell
is very light sensitive and the calculator operates well
under dim lighting conditions. Nice clear lettering on the
keys.
The black version was the first, the model with the blue keys was introduced in 1989. Be careful when using the calculator’s memory. The AC/ON key resets the calculator and clears its memory. |
| Series: |

TI-30, an ordinary scientific LED
calculator. But Texas Instruments kept extending this line,
turning it not into just a model number but a whole
calculator series. Trying to make it the
non-programmable scientific calculator for school use.
So far I’ve found mention of the following types (probably incomplete):
