Notes: The UNICO L-0832 is a scientific calculator using RPN. It has a stack of two levels which is something to take into consideration when doing calculations.

Its type designation L-0832 is not visible anywhere on the calculator itself but only on its packaging and manual.

It has an 8-digit LED display.

After a short period the calculator enters power saving mode and all 9 periods of the LED display are lit up.

Its trigonometric function are based on degrees. To help with calculations in radians there are two conversion methods, D→R and R→D.

The constant π is the second function of the blue   key, so press it twice to get the value for π.

Errors are indicated by displaying ".0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0." except when trying to calculate the square root of a negative number, then a single period lights up in the leftmost digit.

Beware when using a power adapter. At the back of the calculator the following warning is shown:
BATTERY MUST BE REMOVED WHEN USING AC ADAPTOR
