Calculators: Handheld: Harvard H-303

Size (approx): 70mm (max) x 134mm x 24mm (max)  (w,h,d)
Weight 68g excluding batteries.
Power: 9.0V DC, 1 x PP3 size battery.  Also accepts adapter/charger (undefined) through a left side socket about a third of the way down.
Case: Cheap feeling two piece shiny black plastic case.  Edges are a bit sharper than you would normally expect.  It has brushed aluminium panels for the brand / model info above the display and keyboard surround below. The flaring that you can see above the word "Student" is the original sticky-back plastic coating.  The body is titled up towards the back and widens at the top to accommodate the 9V battery. Cheap battery terminals are just two metal tags rather than a proper 9V battery connector.  The red plastic display filter is flat and flush but gives a decent, if narrow view.  Buttons make a positive loud click.  Blue and black colour scheme of keys reminiscent of a Texet calculator.  On/off sliding switch on the right side, in line with the display.
Display: 8 digit red LED with bubble lens display - ninth used for minus sign.
Features: Basic four function with percentages, change sign and four-function memory.
Age: 1980
Manufacturer: Serial Number 0759598.  Made in Hong Kong.
Comments: The fact that this calculator has a CS button for change sign means it is very very likely to be a Texet  calculator.  Cheaply made but works well enough.  Logic quite robust except for the "Texet trailing zeros bug".  See the Same Calculator page for more clones.

Construction: Difficult top open as this was never designed to be repaired.  There are numerous plastic lugs along all the edges.  Best success was found starting at the top pushing the upper section inwards.  If in doubt  -don't do it!

Logic comments: The Clear Entry key (CE) is used to clear an input number, the clear (C) key is used to completely reset the calculator
Overflow on the input of a number is suppressed
The constant function is automatic on all four operations
The negative sign is shown on the immediate left digit pushing into the ninth to allow 8-digit negative numbers
There is no indication of memory storage - you have to remember it.
Overflow errors are shown as a flashing number which are recoverable by use of the (CE) key.
A divide by zero or overflow error is shown as a flashing "0" which is recoverable by use of the (CE) key.
To see a display anomaly try (1) (-) (0.0000000) (=), this gives "1.00000000" which keeps the trailing zeros until you multiply or divide by something.
