This handheld electronic calculator has a black- and silver-colored plastic and metal case with an array of twenty-one square plastic keys. These include ten digit keys and a decimal point key (white) as well as four arithmetic function keys, a total key, a clear key, a clear entry key, and a percentage key (turquoise). The square root and change sign keys in the topmost row are orange. Right of these, a mark scratched on the case reads: UNISONIC-830A. Right of this is an on/off switch. Behind is an eight-digit green vacuum fluorescent display. A power jack is on the back edge.
A paper sticker on the back gives calculation examples. It reads in part: 830A. It also reads: SERIAL NO. (/) 004991 (/) MADE IN JAPAN. Below this is a compartment for four 1.5V (AAA) batteries.
Compare 1986.0988.114 (a Unisonic 811-A). That calculator lacks the square root and change sign keys.
