Behind the keyboard is an eight-digit blue-green vacuum fluorescent display. A mark below the keys reads: TI-1265.

A jack for a power outlet is along the back edge. A sticker on the back reads: US PAT 3819921 AND OTHER PATS PENDING (/) TEXAS INSTRUMENTS (/) Serial No. A 2028431. The sticker indicates that the calculator should be recharged using an AC9180 adapter/charger. It also reads in part: ASSEMBLED IN USA. Below the sticker is a compartment for a nine-volt battery (the cover is missing on this example). A mark below it reads: 1077 LTA.
