Before starting calculation
Changing a mode
Pressing [ MODE ] can enter mode menus. You can choose one of six operating modes, including " 0) MAIN ", " 1)STAT ", " 2)Base-n ", " 3)CPLX ", " 4)VLE ", " 5)QE ".
Give " 2)Base-n " as an example : |
|
|
|
Method 1 : Scroll through the menus using [ |
] or [ |
] until " |
|
2)Base-n " is shown, then enter the desired mode by |

To replace a character, make the character underlined by using [ ] or [ ] to move the cursor, and then enter a new entry to replace the character.
To insert a character, move the cursor to the position of the character where you want to insert, it will be inserted in the front of the character after pressing [ 2nd ] [ INS ] and entering a new character.
(Note) : The blinking cursor " " means the calculator is in insert mode. On the contrary, the blinking cursor is displayed as " _ " and it means the calculator is in overwrite mode.
To clear all characters, clear all input character by [ CL ] key.
Replay function

You can continue moving the cursor by [ ] or [ ] to edit it. To delete a digit, press [ DEL ]. ( or, in overwrite mode, just type over the digit). See Example 1.
z The replay function can keep input digits up to 254 characters for SRP-285II. After execution is complete or during entering, you can
press either [ |
] or [ |
] to display previous input steps and edit |
values or commands for subsequent execution. See Example 2.
(Note) : The replay function isn't cleared even when [ CL ] is pressed or power is turned off, so contents can be recalled even after [ CL ] is pressed. However, replay function is cleared when mode or operation is switched.
Error Position Display Function
zWhen a mathematically illegal calculation is performed, error position display function will tell you with the cursor where the
error is. Press [ ] or [ ] to move the cursor and then give it a correct entry. You can also clear an error by pressing [ CL ] and then re-entered the values and expression from the beginning. See Example 3.
Memory Calculation
zPress [ M+ ] to add a result to running memory. Press [ 2nd ] [ M– ] to subtract the value from running memory. To recall the value in running memory, press [ MRC ]. To clear running memory, press [ MRC ] twice. See Example 4.
