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
I
F
, and displayed 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:
degree second
minute
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, 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

Exponential regression, Logarithmic regression,
Power regression, and Inverse regression calculation
Statistics of Q and W. In addition, estimate of y for a given x and
estimate of x for a given y. (Since the calculator converts each
formula into a linear regression formula before actual calculation
takes place, it obtains all statistics, except coefficients a and b,
from converted data rather than entered data.)
Quadratic regression calculation
Statistics of Q and W and coefficients a, b, c in the quadratic
regression formula (y = a + bx + cx

In the statistical calculation formulas, an error will occur when:
• The absolute value of the intermediate result or calculation result
is equal to or greater than 1 × 10
100
.
• The denominator is zero.
• An attempt is made to take the square root of a negative number.
• No solution exists in the quadratic regression calculation.
ERROR AND CALCULATION RANGES
Errors
An error will occur if an operation exceeds the calculation ranges,
or if a mathematically illegal operation is attempted. When an error
occurs, pressing < (or >) automatically moves the cursor
back to the place in the equation where the error occurred. Edit the
equation or press ª to clear the equation.
Error Codes and Error Types
Syntax error (Error 1):
• An attempt was made to perform an invalid operation.
Ex. 2 @{
Calculation error (Error 2):
• The absolute value of an intermediate or final calculation result equals
or exceeds 10
100
.
• An attempt was made to divide by 0 (or an intermediate calculation
resulted in zero).
• The calculation ranges were exceeded while performing calculations.
Depth error (Error 3):
• The available number of buffers was exceeded. (There are 10 buffers*
for numeric values and 24 buffers for calculation instructions).
*5 buffers in STAT mode.
• Data items exceeded 100 in the statistics mode.
Equation too long (Error 4):
• The equation exceeded its maximum input buffer (142 characters).
An equation must be shorter than 142 characters.
Calculation Ranges
• Within the ranges specified, this calculator is accurate to ±1
of the least significant digit of the mantissa. However, a
calculation error increases in continuous calculations due
to accumulation of each calculation error. (This is the same
for yx,
x
¿
,
n!, e
x
, ln, etc., where continuous calculations are
performed internally.)
Additionally, a calculation error will accumulate and become
larger in the vicinity of inflection points and singular points
of functions.
• Calculation ranges
±10
–99
~ ±9.999999999×1099 and 0.
If the absolute value of an entry or a final or intermediate result of a
calculation is less than 10
–99
, the value is considered to be 0 in
calculations and in the display.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Notes on Battery Replacement
Improper handling of batteries can cause electrolyte leakage or
explosion. Be sure to observe the following handling rules:
• Replace both batteries at the same time.
