Casio Prizm Quick Start Manual

The status bar will display messages and current status like battery level, angle mode, fraction results, complex mode, or input/output settings.
Select the desired icon by highlighting it and pressing l or just press the number or letter in the lower right corner.
The function keys allow you to access the tab (soft key) menus that will come up at the bottom of the screen. When an (>) appears above the u key, selecting u will offer more on-screen choices.
The p key displays every mode the calculator has. To select a mode, you may $N to the desired icon and press l or press the number or letter in the lower right hand corner of the icon.
The d key operates like the back arrow on a web browser; it will take you back one screen each time you select it. The d key will not take you to the icon menu.
The L key activates any function dis­played on or above the calculator buttons that is yellow. For example, to find the square root of number, you would need to press L, then s. L5gives you access to on-screen color formatting.
The a key activates any function displayed on or above the calculator buttons that is in red. For example, to type the letter A, press a, then f.
The O key will power the unit on. To turn the unit off, press the yellow L key, then O key.
The l key executes operations. When data is entered, the l button must be pressed to store the data.

The following explains the meaning of each icon on the Prizm main icon menu.
Run•Matrix
This icon menu is used for general computations, including binary, octal, decimal, and hexadecimal functions and matrices.
Statistics
This icon menu is used to perform single-variable (standard deviation) and paired variable (regression) statistical calculations, to perform tests, to analyze data and to draw statistical graphs.
eActivity
eActivity lets you input text, math expressions, and other data in a notebook-like interface. Use this mode when you want to store text, formulas, or built-in application data in a file.
Spreadsheet
This icon menu is used for creating spreadsheets.
Graph
This icon menu is used to draw, store and calculate information of functions.
Dynamic Graph
This icon menu is used to draw multiple versions of a graph by changing the values in a function.
Table
This icon menu is used 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.
Recursion Graph
This icon menu is used to store recursion formulas, to generate a numeric table of different solutions as the values assigned to the variables in a function change, and to draw graphs.
Equation
This icon menu is used to solve linear equations with two through six unknowns, and high-order equations from 2nd to 6th degree.
Program
This icon menu is used to store programs in the program area and to run programs.
Financial
This icon menu is used to perform financial calculations and to draw cash flow and other types of graphs.
Data Analyzer Link
This icon menu is used to control the optionally available EA-200 Data Analyzer. For information about this icon menu, download the E-CON2 manual from http://edu.casio.com.
Link
This icon menu is used to transfer money contents or back-up data to another unit or PC.
Memory
This icon is used to manage data stored in memory.
System
This icon menu is used to initialize memory, adjust contrast, reset memory, and to manage other system settings.
Geometry
This mode allows you to draw, analyze and animate geometric objects.
Picture Plot
This mode allows you to plot points (that represent coordinates) on screen and then perform various analysis of the data collected.
Conic Graph
This icon menu is used to graph parabolas, circles, ellipses, and hyperbolas. You can input a rectangular or polar coordinate function or a parametric function for graphing.
Conversion
You can perform unit conversions of length, area, volume, time, temperature, velocity, mass, force/weight, pressure, energy/work, and power.

IMAGE BACKGROUNDS
You can view images as backgrounds in Statistics, Spreadsheet, Graph, Dynamic Graphing, Table, Recursion, Conics, and Financial modes.
To display a background image press Lpand scroll to Background: and select e. To see a preview of each image, press y(Detail) and scroll through the file choices. Make your selection and
dout of (SET UP).
PICTURE PLOT: In this mode, you can take images or a series of images, plot points on
the image and perform regressions, graph y or x as a function of time, and create tables from the plotted points, including time. Any previous image will automatically display; press i to see soft-menu choices for the image.
To begin plotting points, press w(Plot). Use numbers (they correlate to the
position on the number pad) or arrows to find a point then lto store. Follow the prompts in the status bar.

To perform a quadratic regression on the plotted points, press ufor more options,
w (REG), then
u(DRAW).

Q
Press q(AXTRNS) to change the graph to q(T-Y) or w(T-X).
To see a table of values for your plotted points, press i, then e(List).
π
Note: L5 (FORMAT) will always display the color options. Here, the plots were changed
from yellow to pink.
Now that you know the equation of the arch created by the stones, press p9 for the Conic Graph mode.
From here, you can select the standard form, enter your coefficients, then
u(DRAW) to view your graph.
In Conic Graphs, you are able to modify your graph, one coefficient at a time. Press
exit to return to the Conics initial screen and select left corner of the screen, you can arrow to the portion of the graph you would like to modify. Here, the c-value was modified from 1.75 to 1. The new graph appears in blue and the original graph appears in yellow.
