Shift Keys

Most keys on the HP 10bII+ have three functions:

a primary function printed in white on the key.

a secondary function printed in orange on the bevel of the key.

a tertiary function printed in blue above the key on the keyboard (see Figure 1).

As an example, the functions associated with the equals key, 4, are illustrated in the text as follows:

primary function (equals): 4

secondary function (display): \5

tertiary function (random): ]6
