NOTICE
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Proper connectors must be used for connection to host computer and/or peripherals in order to

Handling Precautions
•Your calculator is made up of precision components. Never try to take it apart.
•Avoid dropping your calculator and subjecting it to strong impact.
•Do not store the calculator or leave it in areas exposed to high temperatures or humidity, or large
amounts of dust. When exposed to low temperatures, the calculator may require more time to display
results and may even fail to operate. Correct operation will resume once the calculator is brought back
to normal temperature.
• The display will go blank and keys will not operate during calculations. When you are operating the
keyboard, be sure to watch the display to make sure that all your key operations are being performed
correctly.
•Replace both the main power supply and the memory back up batteries once every 2 years regardless
of how much the calculator is used during that period. Never leave dead batteries in the battery compartment. They can leak and damage the unit.
•Keep batteries out of the reach of small children. If swallowed, consult with a physician immediately.
•Avoid using volatile liquids such as thinner or benzine to clean the unit. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth, or
with a cloth that has been dipped in a solution of water and a neutral detergent and wrung out.
•In no event will the manufacturer and its suppliers be liable to you or any other person for any damages,
expenses, lost profits, lost savings or any other damages arising out of loss of data and/or formulas
arising out of malfunction, repairs, or battery replacement. The user should prepare physical records of
data to protect against such data loss.
•Never dispose of batteries, the liquid crystal panel, or other components by burning them.
•When the “Low battery!” message appears on the display, replace the main power supply batteries as
soon as possible.
•Be sure that the power switch is set to OFF when replacing batteries.
• If the calculator is exposed to a strong electrostatic charge, its memory contents may be damaged or
the keys may stop working. In such a case, perform the All Reset operation to clear the memory and
restore normal key operation.
•Note that strong vibration or impact during program execution can cause execution to stop or can
damage the calculator’s memory contents.
•Using the calculator near a television or radio can cause interference with TV or radio reception.
•Before assuming malfunction of the unit, be sure to carefully reread this manual and ensure that the
problem is not due to insufficient battery power, programming or operational errors.
iii
Be sure to keep physical records of all important data!
The large memory capacity of the unit makes it possible to store large amounts of data. You should note,
however, that low battery power or incorrect replacement of the batteries that power the unit can cause
the data stored in memory to be corrupted or even lost entirely. Stored data can also be affected by
strong electrostatic charge or strong impact.
In no event shall CASIO Computer Co., Ltd. be liable to anyone for special, collateral, incidental, or
consequential damages in connection with or arising out of the purchase or use of these materials.
Moreover, CASIO Computer Co., Ltd. shall not be liable for any claim of any kind whatsoever against the
use of these materials by any other party.

1. Using the Main Menu
The main menu appears on the display whenever you turn on the calculator. It con-
tains a number of icons that let you select the mode (work area) for the type of
operation you want to perform. You can also make the Main Menu appear at any time
by pressing m.
The following explains the meaning of each icon.
IconMeaning
Use this mode for arithmetic calculations and function calculations.
Use this mode to perform single-variable (standard deviation) and paired-variable (regression) statistical calculations, and to draw statistical graphs.
Use this mode for storing and editing numeric
data.
Use this mode to store graph functions and to
draw graphs using the functions.
Use this mode to store functions, to generate a
numeric table of different solutions as the values
assigned to variables in a function change, and
to draw graphs.
Use this mode to store programs in the program
area and to run programs.

This calculator uses two types of display: a text display and a graphic display. The
text display can show 13 columns and six lines of characters, with the bottom line
used for the function key menu, while the graph display uses an area that measures
79 (W) × 47 (H) dots.

The calculator normally displays values up to 10 digits long. Values that exceed this
limit are automatically converted to and displayed in exponential format. You can
specify one of two different ranges for automatic changeover to exponential display.
2. Use f and c to move the highlighting to “Display”.
3. Press 3 (Norm).
The exponential display range switches between Norm 1 and Norm 2 each time you
perform the above operation. There is no display indicator to show you which exponential display range is currently in effect, but you can always check it by seeing what
results the following calculation produces.

indicates that the result is equivalent to 1.2 × 1012. This means that you should
move the decimal point in 1.2 twelve places to the right, because the exponent is
positive. This results in the value 1,200,000,000,000.
–03
1.2
indicates that the result is equivalent to 1.2 × 10–3. This means that you should
