Configuring the Calculator Setup

First perform the following key operation to display the setup menu:(SETUP). Next, use A and D and the number keys to configure the settings you want.

Underlined ( ___ ) settings are initial defaults.

MthIO LineIO Specifies the display format.

Natural Display (MthIO) causes fractions,

 

irrational numbers, and other expressions to be

 

displayed as they are written on paper.

 

MthIO: Selects MathO or LineO. MathO displays

input and calculation results using the same format as they are written on paper. LineO displays input the same way as MathO, but calculation results are displayed in linear format.

Linear Display (LineIO) causes fractions and other expressions to be displayed in a single line.

Note: • The calculator switches to Linear Display automatically whenever you enter the STAT Mode. • In this manual, the symbol next to a sample operation indicates Natural Display (MathO), while the 1symbol indicates Linear Display.

E-5

Deg Rad Gra Specifies degrees, radians or grads as the angle unit for value input and calculation result display.

Note: In this manual, the B symbol next to a sample operation indicates degrees, while the * symbol indicates radians.

Fix Sci Norm Specifies the number of digits for display of a calculation result.

Fix: The value you specify (from 0 to 9) controls the number of decimal places for displayed calculation results. Calculation results are rounded off to the specified digit before being displayed.

Example: 1 100 ÷ 7 = 14.286 (Fix 3)

14.29(Fix 2)

Sci: The value you specify (from 1 to 10) controls the number of significant digits for displayed calculation results. Calculation results are rounded off to the specified digit before being displayed.

Example: 1 1 ÷ 7 = 1.4286 σ 10–1

(Sci 5)

1.429 σ 10–1

(Sci 4)

Norm: Selecting one of the two available settings (Norm 1, Norm 2) determines the range in which results will be displayed in non-exponential format. Outside the specified range, results are displayed using exponential format.

Norm 1: 10–2 |x|, |x| > 1010 Norm 2: 10–9 |x|, |x| > 1010 Example: 1 1 ÷ 200 = 5 σ 10–3 (Norm 1)

0.005 (Norm 2)

A ab/c A d/c Specifies either mixed fraction (ab/c) or improper fraction (d/c) for display of fractions in calculation results.

A STAT ON ; OFF Specifies whether or not to display a FREQ (frequency) column in the STAT Mode Stat Editor.

A Rdec ON ; OFF Specifies whether or not to display calculation results using recurring decimal form.

A Disp Dot ; Comma Specifies whether to display a dot or a comma for the calculation result decimal point. A dot is always displayed during input.

Note: When dot is selected as the decimal point, the separator for multiple results is a comma (,). When comma is selected, the separator is a semicolon (;).

A ;CONT Adjusts display contrast. See “Adjusting Display

Note: • If the calculation becomes longer than the screen width during input, the screen will scroll automatically to the right and the ; indicator will appear on the display. When this happens, you can scroll back to the left by using B and C to move the cursor. • When Linear Display is selected, pressing Dwill cause the cursor to jump to the beginning of the calculation, while A will jump to the end. • When Natural Display is selected, pressing C while the cursor is at the end of the input calculation will cause it to jump to the beginning, while pressing B while the cursor is at the beginning will cause it to jump to the end. • You can input up to 99 bytes for a calculation. Each numeral, symbol, or function normally uses one byte. Some functions require three to 13 bytes. • The cursor will change shape to Iwhen there are 10 bytes or less of allowed input remaining. If this happens, end calculation input and then press .

Calculation Priority Sequence

The priority sequence of input calculations is evaluated in accordance with the rules below. When the priority of two expressions is the same, the calculation is performed from left to right.

1st

Parenthetical expressions

 

 

2nd

Functions that require an argument to the right and a closing

parenthesis “)” following the argument.

 

 

 

3rd

Functions that come after the input value (x2, x3, x–1, x!, °’ ”, °, r, g,

%), powers (x9), roots ( )

 

4th

Fractions

 

 

E-7

 

Negative sign (–)

 

Note: When squaring a negative value (such as –2), the value

 

being squared must be enclosed in parentheses ( 2 7

5th

). Since x2 has a higher priority than the negative sign,

inputting 2 7 would result in the squaring of 2 and then

 

 

appending a negative sign to the result. Always keep the priority

 

sequence in mind, and enclose negative values in parentheses

 

when required.

 

 

6th

STAT Mode estimated values (K, L, K1, K2)

 

 

7th

Multiplication where the multiplication sign is omitted

 

 

8th

Permutation (nPr), combination (nCr)

 

 

9th

Multiplication, division (σ, ÷)

 

 

10th

Addition, subtraction (+, –)

 

 

Inputting with Natural Display

Selecting Natural Display makes it possible to input and display fractions and certain functions (log, x2, x3, x9, , , , x−1, 109, e9, Abs) just as they are written in your textbook.

2 + '2

Important: • Certain types of expressions can cause the height of a calculation formula to be greater than one display line. The maximum allowable height of a calculation formula is two display screens (31 dots σ 2).

Further input will become impossible if the height of the calculation you are inputting exceeds the allowable limit. • Nesting of functions and parentheses is allowed. Further input will become impossible if you nest too many functions and/or parentheses. If this happens, divide the calculation into multiple parts and calculate each part separately.

Note: When you press and obtain a calculation result using Natural Display, part of the expression you input may be cut off. If you need to view the entire input expression again, press and then use B and C to scroll the input expression.

Using Values and Expressions as Arguments

(Natural Display only)

A value or an expression that you have already input can be used as the

7

argument of a function. After you have input 6 , for example, you can make it the argument of , resulting in'67 .

E-8

As shown above, the value or expression to the right of the cursor after )(INS) are pressed becomes the argument of the function that is specified next. The range encompassed as the argument is everything up to the first open parenthesis to the right, if there is one, or everything up to the first function to the right (sin(30), log2(4), etc.)

This capability can be used with the following functions: , ,

( ), :( ), 7( ), , , ( ), .

Overwrite Input Mode (Linear Display only)

You can select either insert or overwrite as the input mode, but only while Linear Display is selected. In the overwrite mode, text you input replaces the text at the current cursor location. You can toggle between the insert and overwrite modes by performing the operations: )(INS). The cursor appears as “I” in the insert mode and as “ ” in the overwrite mode.

Note: Natural Display always uses the insert mode, so changing display format from Linear Display to Natural Display will automatically switch to the insert mode.

Correcting and Clearing an Expression

To delete a single character or function: Move the cursor so it is directly to the right of the character or function you want to delete, and then press ).

In the overwrite mode, move the cursor so it is directly under the character or function you want to delete, and then press ).

To insert a character or function into a calculation: Use B and C to move the cursor to the location where you want to insert the character or function and then input it. Be sure always to use the insert mode if Linear Display is selected.

To clear all of the calculation you are inputting: Press .

Recurring Decimal Calculations

Your calculator uses a recurring decimal when you input a value. Calculation results also can be displayed using recurring decimal form whenever applicable.

Inputting a Recurring Decimal

When inputting a recurrent decimal, press

7( I) before inputting its

period (repetend) and then input the period up to the ending value. To input

• •

the recurring decimal 0.909090.... (0.90), perform the following operation:

“0 7( I) 90”.

Important: • If the value starts with an integer part (like: 12.3123123...), do

 

 

• •

not include the integer part when inputting the period (12.312). • Recurring

decimal input is possible only when Natural Display is selected.
