Is the stylus replaceable if lost?

Yes, replacement styluses are typically available through authorized Casio support channels.

Can I view graphs and formulas side-by-side?

Yes, the Dual-Window Display supports both vertical and horizontal views for checking graphs and formulas simultaneously.

How do I switch the screen orientation?

You can toggle between portrait and landscape modes by tapping the orientation icon on the control panel.

Is this calculator suitable for standard exams?

You should check the specific guidelines for your exam board or institution, as policies regarding graphing calculators with touchscreens and advanced features vary widely.

Troubleshooting

Device fails to power on

Ensure the four AAA batteries are correctly oriented and possess sufficient charge. Try replacing with a fresh set of high-quality alkaline batteries.

Touch screen is unresponsive

Clean the screen surface with a soft cloth to remove oils or debris. If it remains unresponsive, perform a soft reset using the reset button on the back of the device.

Calculator not detected by computer via USB

Verify that the USB cable is fully inserted. Ensure the calculator is in the appropriate data transfer mode and that the computer is not blocking the device as an external mass-storage unit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using your ClassPad fx-CP400, install four AAA batteries into the rear compartment. The device features a push-latch mechanism to keep the stylus secure when not in use.
