Inch Key ─ enters or converts to inches. Entry can be whole or decimal number. Also used with the / key for entering fractional inch values (for example, 9 i 1 / 2). Repeated presses during conversions toggle between fractional and decimal inches.
/
Fraction Bar Key ─ used to enter fractions. Fractions can be entered as proper (1/2, 1/8, 1/16) or improper (3/2, 9/8).
m
Meter Key ─ enters or converts to meters.
Convert Key Functions

M+ ─ adds or stores a value in the semi-permanent memory (for example, 1 5 0 Ç +). Semi-permanent means the value is cleared when the calculator is turned off.
Ç – Ç +
M- ─ subtracts a value from the semi-permanent memory (for example, 1 5 0 Ç – Ç + subtracts 150 from the memory).
Ç =
Mr ─ recalls memory value (for example, if 150 has been stored in memory, pressing Ç = will display 150).
Ç o
MC ─ clears memory value.

Entering Square or Cubic
To label a dimension as “square” or “cubic,” enter the value, then press the desired dimension key twice for square and three times for cubic. For example, to enter 25 cubic yards, press 2 5 y y y.
Fractional resolution
Your calculator is set to display fractional values to the nearest 16th of an inch (default setting). Press Ç / to access the fractional resolution setting. Repeated presses of / then revolve through the available settings: 1/16, 1/32, 1/64, 1/2, 1/4, and 1/8. Press o to exit.
Project Keys
p
Paint ─ calculates volume of paint, based on an entered or calculated area. Finds quantity in gallons, quarts, or pints with repeated presses.
w
Wallpaper ─ calculates number of rolls of wallpaper, based on an entered or calculated area.
t
Tile ─ finds the number of tiles, based on an entered or calculated area. Repeated presses scroll between numbers of tiles for
various standard tile sizes (18″, 16″, 13″, 12″, 10″, 8″, 6″, 4″, 2″, 1″, and 24″).
Tile sizes are shown in inches, not
square inches. In other words, a 6″ tile is really 6″ x 6″, or a 36 square- inch tile, but it is labeled as a 6″
size.
c
Carpet ─ calculates carpet length required, based on entered or calculated area. Repeated presses of c scroll between values for
12′, 13′, and 15′ rolls.
C
Concrete ─ calculates the number of bags of concrete required, based on an entered or calculated volume (for example, cubic feet or cubic yards).
Ç •
Cost ─ allows you to calculate total material cost.

Batteries Included: Two LR-43 batteries. Battery Life: 575 hours of actual use.
To replace the batteries, use a small Phillip’s head screwdriver and unscrew the single screw in the center of the battery door, located on the back of the calculator.
Carefully remove the battery door, remove the old batteries from the clips, and replace them with two new LR-43 batteries. Make sure the positive sides (+) are facing up. Replace the battery door and reattach the screw.
