Safety Precautions

Be sure to read the following safety precautions before
using this calculator. Keep this manual handy for later ref­erence.

Caution

This symbol is used to indicate information that can
result in personal injury or material damage if ignored.

Batteries

•After removing the battery from the calculator, put it

in a safe place where it will not get into the hands of
small children and accidentally swallowed.

• Keep batteries out of the reach of small children. If

accidentally swallowed, consult with a physician im­mediately.

• Never charge batteries, try to take batteries apart, or

allow batteries to become shorted. Never expose
batteries to direct heat or dispose of them by incin­eration.

•Misuse of batteries can cause them to leak and dam-

age nearby items, and can create the risk of fire and
personal injury.

•Always make sure that the battery’s positive
negative

l ends are facing correctly when you load

it into the calculator.

• Remove the battery if you do not plan to use the
calculator for a long time (fx-82MS/fx-83MS/fx­270MS/fx-350MS).

•Use only the type of battery specified for this calcu­lator in this manual.

Disposing of the Calculator

• Never dispose of the calculator by burning it. Doing
so can cause certain components to suddenly burst,
creating the risk of fire and personal injury.

• The displays and illustrations (such as key markings)
shown in this User’s Guide are for illustrative purposes
only, and may differ somewhat from the actual items they
represent.

• The contents of this manual are subject to change with­out notice.

•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.

Handling Precautions

• Be sure to press the 5 key before using the calcu­lator for the first time.

• Even if the calculator is operating normally, replace
the battery at least once every three years for the fx­83MS/fx-85MS/fx-270MS/fx-300MS/fx-350MS, or at
least once every two years for the fx-82MS.

A dead battery can leak, causing damage to and mal­function of the calculator. Never leave a dead battery in
the calculator.

• The battery that comes with this unit discharges
slightly during shipment and storage. Because of
this, it may require replacement sooner than the
normal expected battery life.

• Low battery power can cause memory contents to
become corrupted or lost completely. Always keep
written records of all important data.

•Avoid use and storage in areas subjected to tem­perature extremes.

Very low temperatures can cause slow display response,
total failure of the display, and shortening of battery life.
Also avoid leaving the calculator in direct sunlight, near
a window, near a heater or anywhere else it might be
exposed to very high temperatures. Heat can cause dis­coloration or deformation of the calculator’s case, and
damage to internal circuitry.

•Avoid use and storage in areas subjected to large
amounts of humidity and dust.

Ta ke care never to leave the calculator where it might
be splashed by water or exposed to large amounts of
humidity or dust. Such conditions can damage internal
circuitry.

E-3

• Never drop the calculator or otherwise subject it to
strong impact.

• Never twist or bend the calculator.

Avoid carrying the calculator in the pocket of your trou­sers or other tight-fitting clothing where it might be sub­jected to twisting or bending.

• Never try to take the calculator apart.

• Never press the keys of the calculator with a ball­point pen or other pointed object.

• Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the cal­culator.

If the calculator becomes very dirty, wipe it off with a
cloth moistened in a weak solution of water and a mild
neutral household detergent. Wring out all excess mois­ture before wiping the calculator. Never use thinner, ben­zene or other volatile agents to clean the calculator. Do­ing so can remove printed markings and can damage
the case.

Two-line Display

The two-line display makes it possible to view
both the calculation formula and its result at
the same time.

• The upper line shows the calculation formula.

• The lower line shows the result.

A separator symbol is displayed every three digits when
the integer part of the mantissa has more than three dig­its.

Before getting started...

k Modes

Before starting a calculation, you must first enter the cor­rect mode as indicated in the table below.

of data items) as described above, scrolling through data
shows both the data item and a separate screen for the

Perform linear regression to de­termine the regression formula
terms and correlation coefficient
for the data nearby. Next, use
the regression formula to esti­mate atmospheric pressure at
–5°C and temperature at 1000

Data Input Precautions

• S S inputs the same data twice.

•You can also input multiple entries of the same data
using A G. To input the data “20 and 30” five times,
for example, press 20

• The above results can be obtained in any order, and not
necessarily that shown above.

•Precautions when editing data input for standard devia­tion also apply for regression calculations.

• Do not use variables A through F, X, or Y to store data
when performing statistical calculations. These variables
are used for statistical calculation temporary memory,
so any data you may have assigned to them may be
replaced by other values during statistical calculations.

• Entering the REG Mode and selecting a regression type
(Lin, Log, Exp, Pwr, Inv, Quad) clear variables A through
F, X, and Y. Changing from one regression type to an­other inside the REG Mode also clears these variables.

settings.

2. Check the formula you are working with to confirm it is

correct.

3. Enter the correct mode and try performing the calcula-

tion again.

5 key. The calculator performs a self-check operation and

deletes all data stored in memory if any abnormality is
detected. Make sure you always keep written copies of all
important data.

“Error Locator” for details.

E-28

Math ERROR

•Causes

• Calculation result is outside the allowable calculation

range.

• An attempt to perform a function calculation using a

value that exceeds the allowable input range.

• An attempt to perform an illogical operation (division

by zero, etc.)

• Action

• Check your input values and make sure they are all

within the allowable ranges. Pay special attention to
values in any memory areas you are using.

Stack ERROR

•Cause

• The capacity of the numeric stack or operator stack is

exceeded.

• Action

•Simplify the calculation. The numeric stack has 10 lev-

els and the operator stack has 24 levels.

•Divide your calculation into two or more separate parts.

tion.

• Operations enclosed in parentheses are performed first.

•When a calculation contains an argument that is
a negative number, the negative number must be
enclosed within parentheses. The negative sign (–) is
treated as a Type B function, so particular care is
required when the calculation includes a high-priority
Type A function, or power or root operations.

k Stacks

This calculator uses memory areas, called “stacks,” to tem­porarily store values (numeric stack) and commands (com­mand stack) according to their precedence during calcu­lations. The numeric stack has 10 levels and the command
stack has 24 levels. A stack error (Stack ERROR) occurs
whenever you try to perform a calculation that is so com­plex that the capacity of a stack is exceeded.

Power Supply

The type of battery you should use depends on the model
number of your calculator.

fx-85MS/fx-300MS

The TWO WAY POWER system actually has two power
supplies: a solar cell and a G13 Type (LR44) button battery.
Normally, calculators equipped with a solar cell alone can
operate only when relatively bright light is present. The
TWO WAY POWER system, however, lets you continue
to use the calculator as long as there is enough light to
read the display.

•Replacing the Battery

Either of the following symptoms indicates battery power
is low, and that the battery should be replaced.

•Display figures are dim and difficult to read in areas

where there is little light available.

• Nothing appears on the display when you press the

5 key.

u To replace the battery

1 Remove the six screws that

hold the back cover in place
and then remove the back
cover.

2 Remove the old battery.
3 Wipe off the sides of new
