This example also shows how the display can be removed from scientific notation format. The displayed rim number must be in the range 1- -1 x 10" to 1-1 x10'. After a number entry, press rje then an operation key or equals to produce a result in standard display format. Once in scientific notation. the calculator will remain in scientific notation format until FeW is pressed or the above procedure performed. Exponential Shift The ief-cf, key can be used to alter the appearance of the displayed number without changing its value. When this key is pressed after a result is obtained or after a function or operation key is pressed, it decreases the exponent by one and moves the decimal point of the mantissa one place to the right. adds one to the exponent and moves the decimal one place to the left under the same conditions. Example: 1.2 x 10" + 3 45 x 10"ss 1.2345 10" 12.345 x 10" = 1.2345 x 10" Enter 1.2 16 3.45 14 Press Rifl L Ei Display 1.2 00 1.2 16 3 45 00 1.2345 16 12.345 15 1.2345 16 Practical Example: What is the diameter of a cable, in microns (1micron - 10 -' meter). whose circumference is 3x 10 ' meters?
