Turner85 Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 So I bought the above item and the calculator on it is solar powered or something which means in doors I can't get the thing to work at all but open my front door and step out and it comes straight on. Does this mean it's solely for outdoor use so if I'm in a customers home doing some measurements I've still gotta take my phone out to do calculations. I'll include a photo for people that don't know what it is 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboS1ice Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Try leaving it in sunlight for a day to charge the batteries inside of it, just throw it in a table in front of the window that should do the trick.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be happy with it once the calculator is working. Looks smarter than a copy book which is what I normally bring along pricing jobs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kruton Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 I've had a few portfolios with calculators, not the Dewalt, and they have all been junk. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
