50g user's guide vs user's manual? - Orome - 04-27-2020 10:34 PM

I've got both a "user's guide" and a "user's manual" for the 50g. The two documents have broadly overlapping content, as near as I an tell. What is the (intended) difference between them?

The difference in length: 180 vs 880 pages may offer a clue Smile

I think of the shorter document as a Quick Reference Guide. It's a helpful reminder, but not helpful to learn the calculator from scratch.
