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.

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.
