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-95MS/100MS/570MS).

•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.

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
lator for the first time.

• Even if the calculator is operating normally, replace
the battery at least once every three years for the fx­115MS/fx-570MS/fx-991MS, or at least once every two
years for the fx-95MS/fx-100MS.

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.

•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.

• The following table shows the modes and required
operations for the fx-95MS only. Users of other mod­els should refer to the “User’s Guide 2 (Additional
Functions)” for information about modes and their
selection.

•Pressing the

A D, for example, takes up only one step.

Whenever you input the 73rd step of any calculation, the
cursor changes from “_” to “k” to let you know memory
is running low. If you need to input more than 79 steps,
you should divide your calculation into two or more parts.

the insert cursor.

k Replay Function

•Every time you perform a calculation, the replay function
stores the calculation formula and its result in replay
memory. Pressing the
result of the calculation you last performed. Pressing
again back steps sequentially (new-to-old) through past
calculations.

This calculator can display up to 10 digits. Larger values
are automatically displayed using exponential notation. In
the case of decimal values, you can select between two
formats that determine at what point exponential notation
is used.
