are you able to change the reading on the pencil by twisting it? and does this mean you are able to put in a HB, 2B, and 2H, and switch them at will?

yes change readings, no change leads. it holds lead like a regular mechanical pencil

You cannot change the lead type by changing the setting. There is no way to segregate the lead types. You put the type you want in the pencil, then set the indicator.

To change the lead indicator reading:1. Unscrew the pencil tip (NOT the tube that the lead comes out of) about a quarter of a turn.2. Rotate the knurled grip to change the setting.3. Retighten the pencil tip while holding the knurled grip to prevent it from rotating.

I haven't tried yet. I mostly use my tab for reading. I can try one and let you know. :)

What you have to do is push the button like you are going to "eject" the lead to write but when you do the lead will be able to be completely removed from the pencil. Once you have completely removed previous lead you can now insert the new lead into the pencil. And then move the alignment notch off "refill" and you are now ready to use your pencil with your new lead. I hope this helps you out!!

I am pretty sure the instructions say that you can hold the pencil stylus either lefty or righty. It is ambidextrous. The game app presents letterforms to trace; it makes no reference to handedness.

Unfortunately no it is not set up to flip the pages on its own, however the hp office app that you use with it allows you to arrange pages in the screen and subtract that pesky last page that it often blank for me on the screen. Sorry couldn't be of more help!

I had the same problem!!!! Don't try to "toggle" just keep scrolling forward and when the day gets to "31" (for instance 31/1/15) instead of starting over again (and reading 1/1/15... Remember: it goes dd/mm/year) it will read 1/2/15 (aka go from January 31 to February 1)Definitely takes longer since you can't toggle between day month and year, but I was glad to finally figure it out bc it was drivinge nuts!! :)

Yes. To get to complex calculation mode: Mode -&gt; 2:CMPLX To change to polar or rectangular output: SETUP -&gt; Down -&gt; 3:CMPLX -&gt; (1:a+bi or 2:r&lt;theta) Or, to change radians or degrees: SETUP -&gt; (3:Deg or 4: Rad) To change polar to rectangular for a single output, you can pick: Shift+2 -&gt; (3:r&lt;theta or 4:a+bi) Note that this calculator can swap back and forth between exact mode and decimal mode very easily. Example: sqrt(3)/3 + sqrt(3)/2i Press S&lt;&gt;D button: 0.57735+0.866025i I used to use my TI-89 for everything, until I read through the manual for this thing and realized that it's far quicker to get to things I use on a daily basis with this thing. AND it gives it to me with exact notation more often than not, a feature that my TI-89 just wasn't very good at. And all of the symbols you need are in button form, instead of somewhere deep in a catalog. Notice the Log(base)(value) button. I haven't seen a single calculator other than this one which has that button, and I use that all the friggin' time. It was certainly worth a try. If my time is worth $30 an hour as an engineer, it has already saved me hundreds of dollars in time compared to my TI-89.

No, I just bought another pencil. The lead lasts a long time for me, fortunately!

Hi..Im not sure. Could you contact palomino directly..One pencil is hard and the other is soft..

Just tried it. You can write maybe 1 or 2 sentences upside-down. I recall the Fisher pens being able to do it forever. I don't do a lot of supine writing, though.

Since you can load different hardness leads in this pencil, they print several different types of lead on the pencil and have a rotating metal band with a window in it that you move until the type of lead you have is showing. For example, you can rotate it until "2B", "B", "HB", "F", "H", 2H, or "4H" shows thru the window.

I believe that you can only load one piece of lead at a time for the pencil. I don't know how long the ink will last because I only use the pen once in a while. Of course how long the ink lasts depends on the amount of use. There does seem to be a generous amount of ink (cartridge) provided.

Hi Michelle. Pull out the silver button at the non cap end (the part which has the pencil point). Throw the lead in there! I love this pencil...have it in almost every color!!

I have the 132 pencils, what is the difference, and why 18 pencils make the 150 pencils set 40 dolars more expensive? Do you happen to know which colours are extra? Do you have in stock? Thank you.
1761239
yes,but when you get into hundreths,(0.01) it only reads in 2 hundreths at a time....i.e. 0.02,0.04,0.06, etc.

While I like the pencil very much, I can't say I've noticed the "rotating" lead feature. But that may be the ingeniousness of it, right?

You should be able to press down on the top button and hold it down. This will inturn push the prongs our from the tip of the pencil allowing the lead to slid out. From there you can adjust how much lead you want sticking out from the tip. When you release the top button, the prongs will go back to its natural position hence holding the lead in place.
