I have just received a 49G+ and can not see how I can get it to display
commas as thousands separators.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, Peter!
[MODE] press down-arrow to go to the "Number Format"
CHOOSe "Fix" and any suitable number of decimals (2 for business)
Press ENTER to accept the changes
key in 1234567.89 [ENTER]
then key in 1200 [SPC] 1200[ . ] [ENTER]
Only floating point numbers in fixed mode

Hi VPN,

Many thanks. Having been an HP15C and 95LX user since they respectively
came out, this is a key feature which aides readability. I am however sorry
that the commas do not appear as the numbers are entered, which is what I am
used to on the earlier calculators.

Cheers,
Peter

You can have it in FIX mode. Press Mode, go to Number Format and press
'+/-' until FIX appears, press OK. You will see all reals (not
integers) with commas as thousands separators.

I hope I helped you

It only does that in FIX mode, not STD mode.

Hi Joe,
I rememember, it was different on 48-series, where a
flag was available?
I know it is the same on the 49,
but seems to be not the reference.
