FRAM 71: Impact on start time

[Michael Lopez]

Hi everyone,

My interest in FRAM71 was recently rekindled by Sylvain's & Hans' recent excellent posts - thank you.

I hadn't used the 71B that I have FRAM installed in for a while & I found the batteries had gone flat & couldn't get it going with fresh ones installed. Ended-up having to follow Sylvain's initiation procedure for the Nashville version & even that didn't bring it back to life until I removed the HP-IL module. The unit in question is version: 1BBB & HPIL: 1B.

Now that everything has been reset & HPIL module re-installed, I find it takes ~ 4 Seconds for the unit to start from the time I press the On button. This seems longer than what I recollect & was wondering if this is typical or I may have missed something in the way I reset the calculator & FRAM71?

Thanks,

Michael
