"Wait..." on WP 34S
I have a WP 34S made from a HP 30b with an IR/USB board. When I use it, most of the time I am getting the "Wait..." message for a non-trivial amount of time for simple operations: putting number on stack, +, - , x, / RCL, swap, etc. My battery voltage was 2.8 which is a bit low so I thought that might be the issue so I connected it to my computer with a USB cable which keeps voltage steady at 3, but I still have the issue. Could I have the calculator in some obscure mode that is causing this?

thanks

Maybe it's in a trace printing mode? Try: CF T ( [g] [▾] [×] ).

That seems to have fixed it, thanks

But if Flag T is set by default (p. 175 of Manual_wp_34s_3_1) why did I not see the same problem for first 6 months of calculator's life?

It's cleared by default:

Code:

| HP-42S | WP 34S | Remarks                                                     |
+--------+--------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
| MAN    | CF T   | This print mode is startup default on your WP 34S.          |

Ok, I misinterpreted that line, thanks.
