OWNER’S MANUAL
This manual has been written by a non-Japanese speaking CASIO fan to help other
non-Japanese speaking CASIO fans to make the best out of their FX-890P, Z-1GR,
Z-1GRa or Z-1GR pocket computer. It is based on the Japanese Z-1 users’ manual,
the FX-880 & PB2000C English manuals, and all kind of other information gathered
on the web. Even if most of the content is based on material with a CASIO copyright,
the company CASIO cannot be held responsible for any inaccuracy within this
document.
This document is not intended for any commercial purpose. Do not pay anything for
it, and use it at your own risk.
Thanks to Ledudu.com, Daniel Pratlong, Marcus von Cube, and all the other guys
whose information posted on the web helped me with this project.
