Hard Case DISPLAY Equation→ Display ←Symbol Mantissa Exponent • During actual use, not all symbols are displayed at the same time. • Certain inactive symbols may appear visible when viewed from a far off angle. • Only the symbols required for the usage under instruction are shown in the display and calculation examples of this manual. / : Appears when the entire equation cannot be displayed. Press to see the remaining (hidden) section. : Indicates that data can be visible above/below the screen. These indications may appear when menu, multi-line playback, and statistics data are displayed. Press [/] to scroll up/down the view. 2ndF : Appears when @ is pressed, indicating that the functions shown in orange are enabled. HYP : Indicates that h has been pressed and the hyperbolic functions are enabled. If @H are pressed, the symbols "2ndF HYP" appear, indicating that inverse hyperbolic functions are enabled. ALPHA: Indicates that K (STAT VAR), O or R has been pressed, and entry (recall) of memory contents and recall of statistics can be performed. FIX/SCI/ENG: Indicates the notation used to display a value and changes by SET UP menu. DEG/RAD/GRAD: Indicates angular units and changes each time G is pressed. STAT : Appears when statistics mode is selected. M : Indicates that a numerical value is stored in the independ- ent memory. BEFORE USING THE CALCULATOR Key Notation Used in this Manual In this manual, key operations are described as follows: To specify ex : @e To specify ln : I To specify F : Kü Functions that are printed in orange above the key require @ to be pressed first before the key. When you specify the memory, press K first. Numbers for input value are not shown as keys, but as ordinary numbers. Power On and Off Press ª to turn the calculator on, and @F to turn it off. Clearing the Entry and Memories Clearing methods are described in the table as follows: Clearing operation Entry M*1 A-F, X,Y*2 STAT*4 (Display) ANS*3 STAT VAR*5 ª @c @∏00*6 @∏10*7 × × × × RESET switch : Clear × : Retain *1 Independent memory M. *2 Temporary memory A-F, X and Y. *3 Last answer memory. *4 Statistical data (entered data). *5 x¯ , sx, σ x, n, Σ x, Σ x 2, ¯y, sy, σ y, Σy, Σy 2, Σxy, r, a, b, c. *6 All variables are cleared. See 'About the Memory clear key' for details. *7 This key combination functions the same as the RESET switch. See 'About the Memory clear key' for details. [About the Memory clear key] Press @∏ to display the menu. MEM RESET 0 1 • To clear all variables (M, A-F, X, Y, ANS, STAT VAR), press 00 or 0®. • To RESET the calculator, press 10 or 1®. The RESET operation will erase all data stored in memory, and restore the calculator's default setting. Entering and Correcting the Equation [Cursor keys] • Press < or > to move the cursor. You can also return to the equation after getting an answer by pressing > ( key to move the flashing cursor, then press ® (= key). If you need to scroll up/down the view, use the [ or ] key. [Insert mode and Overwrite mode in the Equation display] • This calculator has two editing modes: insert mode (default), and overwrite mode. Pressing @' switches between the two modes. A triangular cursor indicates that an entry will be inserted at the cursor, while the rectangular cursor indicates to overwrite preexisting data as you make entries. • To insert a number in the insert mode, move the cursor to the place immediately after where you wish to insert, then make a desired entry. In the overwrite mode, data under the cursor will be overwritten by the number you enter. • This mode setting will be retained until the next RESET operation is executed.
