Basic Math Operations
Your calculator uses standard chaining
logic which simply means that you enter
your first value, the operator (+, –, x, ÷),
the second value and then the equals
sign (=).
This feature also makes the calculator
simple to use for dimensional math, as
shown in the following examples:

Add 2 feet 1 inch to 11 inches:
2 [Feet] 1 [Inch] [+]
11 [Inch] [=]3 FT 0 IN
Note: The format of the first value you enter
determines the format of the answer.
However, with the [Conv] key you can
change to any format you want, provided
that you maintain convention.
Subtracting Dimensions
Subtract 3 feet from 11 feet 7-1/2 inches:
11 [Feet] 7 [Inch] 1 [/] 2
[–] 3 [Feet] [=] 8 FT 7-1/2 IN
The Percent [%] key is used to find a
percent of a number or for working addon, discount or division percentages. It
can be used with any type of number,
any dimension (feet, inch, millimeter,

linear, square or cubic).

Fractional Settings
When you first receive your calculator it is
set to its default state. When in this state,
fractional values are rounded to the nearest
1/16 of an inch. However, you may program
your preference for six different accuracy
levels and two different modes (Normal andFixed), all of which remain in permanent
memory until revised or reset.
The fractional level can be revised by
using the keystrokes below:
Note: Whenever the calculator is set to
anything other than 1⁄16 normal mode, a
star (★) will appear in the bottom left of the
display during power up to indicate a special fractional setting has been stored within. The fractional setting can be displayed
at any time by pressing [Rcl] [/].
User’s Guide – 15
Normal Fractional Mode
The default,
Normal Mode
([Conv] 7),
reduces a fraction to its lowest common
denominator (for example, 8/16 reduces
to 1/2). If a fraction is entered having a
higher fractional accuracy than the current setting, the setting will be temporarily revised to the level of accuracy of the
entered value.
Fixed Fractional Mode
In the
Fixed Mode
(
[Conv] 9
), fractional
results are displayed in the set fractional
value, not reduced. Entries of higher
accuracy values will be rounded to the
nearest fraction of the accuracy setting
(for example, for a fraction level setting of
1/16, an entry of 5 [/] 32 [=] will result in
a display of 3/16).
Flashing Denominator
Your calculator can be set to flash the
denominator (bottom) when entering
fractions by pressing
[Conv] [/]
. In this
way, you can see what fractional accuracy level is set. Pressing
[Conv] [/]
again
will turn the flashing denominator off. This
is a permanent setting that will remain
until revised or reset.

feet 6 inches by 24 feet 4 inches. In order
for the forms to be square, what should
both of the diagonal measurements be?
(You can use the Pythagorean theorem to
solve the next problems. See the diagram
after "Common Rafter" on page 36.)

Calculator Information
A
CCURACY/DISPLAY
eleven digit display. This is made up of seven
digits (normal display) and four digits for the
fraction. In a standard calculation, each calculation is carried out internally to ten digits and
is rounded to a seven-digit standard display. A
5/4 rounding technique is used to add one to
the least significant digit in the display if the
next non-displayed digit is five or more. If this
digit is less than five, no rounding occurs.
A
UTO-RANGE
answer that exceeds the standard sevendigit range of the display, the answer will be
automatically displayed in a larger unit of
measurement (instead of showing “
For example, “10,000,000 mm” cannot be
displayed because it is out of the range of
the seven-digit display, so “10,000 m” will
be displayed instead. This auto-ranging
also applies to other dimensional units,
such as inches to feet, feet to yards, etc.
ERRORS — When you make an incorrect entry,

défaut de ce réglage, le nombre de chiffres

Opérations mathématiques
Votre calculatrice utilise la logique de
chaînage standard. Autrement dit, il suffit
d’entrer la première valeur suivie de
l’opérateur (+, -, x, ∏), la deuxième valeur
et, enfin, le signe d’égalité (=).
Grâce à cette caractéristique, la
calculatrice demeure très facile à utiliser.

ILE ET MISE HORS TENSION AUTOMATIQUE
—
La calculatrice fonctionne grâce à une pile au
lithium de 3 V de modèle CR-2032. Cette pile
devrait fonctionner pendant plus de 1 800
heures d’utilisation, ce qui équivaut à un peu
plus d’une année dans la plupart des cas.
Remplacer la pile si l’affichage à l’écran devient
très pâle ou intermittent.
La calculatrice est dotée d’un mécanisme
qui la met hors tension après de 8 à 12 minutes
d’inactivité.
PRECISION DE L’AFFICHAGE — L’écran de la cal-
culatrice permet l’affichage de 11 chiffres, soit
7 chiffres entiers et 4 décimales. Les calculs

Operaciones matemáticas
Su calculadora utiliza una lógica de encadenado estándar, que significa que usted
entra el primer valor, el operador (+, –, x,
÷), el segundo valor y luego el signo de
Igual (“=”).
Esta propiedad facilita también el uso de
la calculadora para aplicaciones con
medidas, tal como se muestra en los
ejemplos siguientes:
Suma y resta de medidas
1. Sumar 7 metros a 11 pies 4 pulgadas:
7 [m] [+] 11 [Feet] 4 [Inch]
[=] 10.454 M
2. Restar 3 pies de 11 pies 7-1/2
pulgadas:
11 [Feet] 7 [Inch] 1 [/] 2 [–] 3 [Feet]
FEET
7-1/2
[=] 8
Nota: El formato de la respuesta queda
determinado por el formato del primer
valor que se entre. Sin embargo, usted
puede cambiar a cualquier formato que
desee usando la tecla
cuando mantenga la convención.
La Cinta de control “sin papel” permite
visualizar y revisar las últimas 20
entradas de un cálculo. Se accede a esta
función pulsando
Para revisar los valores entrados,

ILA Y APAGADO AUTOMÁTICO
— Su
calculadora funciona con una sola pila de
litio CR-2032 de 3 voltios. La pila deberá
durar aproximadamente 1,000 horas de
uso efectivo (más de 1 año para la
mayoría de los usuarios). En caso de que
la pantalla se vea muy tenue o funcione
erráticamente, cambie la pila.
Su calculadora ha sido diseñada para
que se apague automáticamente
después de permanecer sin uso durante
8 a 12 minutos.
P
RECISIÓN/PANTALLA
— Su calculadora
tiene una pantalla de 11 dígitos (siete
dígitos normales y cuatro dígitos para las
fracciones). Los cálculos se realizan
internamente con una precisión de 10
dígitos y se redondean a la pantalla
normal de 7 dígitos usando una técnica
de redondeo de 5/4.
“E
RROR
” — Si realiza una entrada incor-
recta, o si la respuesta excede la gama
Guía del Usuario – 15
de la calculadora, se visualizará la
palabra “
ERROR”. Para despejar una
condición de error, debe pulsar dos
veces el botón
una condición de “
[On/C]
. También ocurrirá
ERROR” si se entra una
imposibilidad matemática, tal como una
división entre cero.
G
AMA AUTOMÁTICA
— Si se produce un
“desbordamiento” debido a una entrada y
cálculos con unidades pequeñas que
excedan la gama estándar de 7 dígitos
de la pantalla, la respuesta se expresará
automáticamente en las unidades
próximas más grandes.
