P23-DH V Calculator does not stay turned on

mcalister7353 — Sun, 15 Oct 2017 18:54:48 GMT

I have two new P23-DH V calculators and it is frustrating that the calculator turns off after a few minutes. Is this a setting that can be changed or just something to live with? I purchased two at the same time and both do this so I know it isn't a problem with the calculator. I don't see anything in the manual about it - and I don't recall seeing anything on the specs about it. Has anyone else run across this or am I the lucky one?

Hello mcalister7353,

When the P23-DH V calculator's power is turned "ON" and the calculator is not being used for approximately 7 minutes, the calculator will switch off automatically. See "Automatic Power-off" under "Specifications" in the Instructions. Click HERE to view a PDF version of the Instructions for your P23-DH V. When you are not actively using your P23-DH V calculator, pressing the CE/C button every 5 to 6 minutes will prevent the unit from turning off.

This is the worst feature ever for a calculator that is plugged into a power source. I can understand this feature when calculator is being used in battery mode.

I will be returning it, as I can't be turning it on and off all day.
