Three Calculation Modes Your SHARP EL-733A has three calculation modes: NORMAL mode, FIN mode (financial mode), and STAT mode (statistics mode). The mode that your calculator is in dictates which functions are immediately available. When you are working a financial problem, you most likely will want the EL-733A to be in FIN mode. Likewise, statistics problems generally require the calculator to be in STAT mode. To change modes, simply press the keys 2ndF [MODE) ( (Moo is the second function of the H key, thus to access that function you need to first press the (2ndF1 key).
