Understanding Memory You can save the results of your calculation using Calculator's built-in memory. The memory function allows you to temporarily store numbers during the current work session. The Calculator's memory is used to store the number shown in the Readout bar. You can add to, subtract from, or recall a number stored in memory. For example, memory is a convenient way to keep track of your current bank balance as you write checks. Simply store your bank balance in memory, then deduct the amount for each check from the balance. The following list summarizes how to use the memory: S The number shown in the Readout bar can be copied directly to memory. S Only one number can be stored at a time.

Enter 50 in the Readout bar and press M+; the Calculator changes the number stored in memory to 150. Example: 150 is currently stored in memory and you want to subtract 20. Enter 20 in the Readout bar and press M- ; the Calculator changes the number in memory to 130. "To store a number in memory: 1. Enter a number in the Readout bar. 2.
