Press R and a corresponding variable key to recall a value from the
memory.
To place a variable in an equation, press K, followed by a desired
variable key.
[Independent memory (M)]
In addition to all the features of temporary memories, a value can be
added to or subtracted from an existing memory value.
Press ªOM to clear the independent memory (M).
[Last answer memory (ANS)]
The calculation result obtained by pressing = or any other calculation
ending instruction is automatically stored in the last answer memory.
Note:
• Calculation results from the functions indicated below are automatically
stored in memories X or Y. For this reason, when using these functions,
be careful with the use of memories X and Y.
• Random function ...................... Y memory
• →rθ, →xy ................................ X memory (r or x),
Y memory (θ or y)
• Temporary memories and last answer memory are cleared even when
the same mode is reselected.
• Use of R or K will recall the value stored in memory using up
to 14 digits.
Chain Calculations
• This calculator allows the previous calculation result to be used in the
following calculation.
• The previous calculation result will not be recalled after entering multiple
instructions.
• In the case of utilizing postfix functions (¿, sin, etc.), you can
perform a chain calculation even when the previous calculation result
is cleared by the use of the ª or @c keys.
Fraction Calculations
This calculator performs arithmetic operations and memory calculations
using fractions, and conversion between a decimal number and a fraction.
• If the number of digits to be displayed is greater than 10, the number is
converted to and displayed as a decimal number.
Binary, Pental, Octal, Decimal, and Hexadecimal
Operations (N-Base)
This calculator can perform conversions between numbers expressed in
binary, pental, octal, decimal and hexadecimal systems. It can also perform
the four basic arithmetic operations, calculations with parentheses and
memory calculations using binary, pental, octal, decimal, and hexadecimal
numbers. In addition, the calculator can carry out the logical operations
AND, OR, NOT, NEG, XOR and XNOR on binary, pental, octal and hexadecimal numbers.
Conversion to each system is performed by the following keys:
@ê: Converts to the binary system. “
” appears.
@û: Converts to the pental system. “
” appears.
@î: Converts to the octal system. “ ” appears.
@ì: Converts to the hexadecimal system. “ ” appears.
@í: Converts to the decimal system. “ ”, “ ”, “ ”, and “ ”
disappear from the display.
Conversion is performed on the displayed value when these keys are
pressed.
Note: In this calculator, the hexadecimal numbers A – F are entered by
pressing ™
A
, ⁄B, LC, ÷D, lE, and IF, and dis-
played as follows:
A → ï, B → ∫, C → ó, D → ò, E → ô, F → ö
In the binary, pental, octal, and hexadecimal systems, fractional parts
cannot be entered. When a decimal number having a fractional part is
converted into a binary, pental, octal, or hexadecimal number, the fractional
part will be truncated. Likewise, when the result of a binary, pental, octal,
or hexadecimal calculation includes a fractional part, the fractional part
will be truncated. In the binary, pental, octal, and hexadecimal systems,
negative numbers are displayed as a complement.
Time, Decimal and Sexagesimal Calculations
Conversion between decimal and sexagesimal numbers can be performed.
In addition, the four basic arithmetic operations and memory calculations
can be carried out using the sexagesimal system.
Notation for sexagesimal is as follows:
Coordinate Conversions
• Before performing a calculation, select the angular unit.
• The calculation result is automatically stored in memories X and Y.
Value of r or x: X memory
Value of θ or y: Y memory
Modify Function
In this calculator, all calculation results are internally obtained in scientific
notation with up to 14 digits for the mantissa. However, since calculation
results are displayed in the form designated by the display notation and
the number of decimal places indicated, the internal calculation result
may differ from that shown in the display. By using the modify function,
the internal value is converted to match that of the display, so that the
displayed value can be used without change in subsequent operations.
STATISTICAL CALCULATIONS
Statistical calculations are performed in the statistics mode. Press
m1 to select the statistics mode. This calculator performs the
seven statistical calculations indicated below. After selecting the statistics
mode, select the desired sub-mode by pressing the number key
