CalcSwap’s terms above are not describing the year the item was made; it describes the appearance of the calculator or item.


Why will my calculator not turn on?

All items are tested at least twice. Yes, all items work. Make sure that the batteries are in the proper way meaning the negative and positive are in the correct direction. Also, make sure you are using new batteries that were just purchased from the store.


Why does the screen not turn on?

If the calculator is turned on and the screen is not displaying, the screen is set to the lightest setting. Press the 2nd button and then hold the “up” arrow to make the screen darker or 2nd and then the “down” arrow to make the screen lighter. For the TI-89 press the green diamond button right under the 2nd button and then press the plus sign on the bottom right to make it darker or the negative sign to make it lighter.


Does CalcSwap take their own pictures?

Yes. All items we sell are with pictures that we take. There is nothing worse than buying an item based on a photo, and then having the item arrive to only notice it looks nothing like the photo online. We state in the description,

We “Take Our Own” Pictures to ensure each item is described to perfection. We believe a photo is worth a 1000 words.


May we pick up the items that we buy from CalcSwap?

Unfortunately, all items must be mailed and updated in PayPal with a tracking number for funds to be released to CalcSwap.


How do I make the F5 key on the TI-89 work?

The F5 key is the input/output key for any program that you have in the calculator. It will only have a drop down menu if the calculator has a program installed.


Why was the memory not cleared?

CalcSwap does not erase the memory because students may want the programs that are already on the calculator.  It is very time consuming to download each one and some even cost money.  It is much easier, and preferred by students to let them delete and keep what they want. 


Does CalcSwap offer a warranty on items I buy?

All items can be returned 7 days after item is received for a replacement if the item does not work.


Does CalcSwap offer an extended warranty on items it sells?

CalcSwap has partnered with square trade to offer extended warranties. Each item will have a square trade logo at the bottom of each item page for more information on extended warranties. Square trade will handle all questions and replacements if an extended warranty needs to be activated.

 

Why can I not track my item?

Calcswap uses Delivery Confirmation Numbers with USPS. The delivery confirmation numbers will only show information when the item is received at the buyer’s post office. Remember, priority mail is 2-3 days and First Class is 2-5 days but usually gets there in 2-3 days.
