Basic Function Keys
o- On/Clear Key
Turns power on. Pressing once clears
the display. Pressing twice clears all
temporary values.
O- Off
Turns all power off, clearing all non-
permanent registers.

(%)
Four-function (+, -, x, ÷) percent .
KEY DEFINITIONS

Dimensional Unit Keys
y- Yards Key
Enters or converts to Yards.
f- Feet Key
Enters or converts to Feet as whole
or decimal numbers. Also used with
the i and /keys for entering
Feet-Inch-Fraction values (e.g., 6
f 9 i 1 / 2 ). Repeated
presses during conversions toggle
between Feet-Inch-Fractions and
Decimal Feet.
i- Inch Key
Enters or converts to Inches. Entry
can be whole or decimal number.
Also used with the /key for entering
Fractional Inch values (e.g., 9i
1 / 2 ). Repeated presses during
conversions toggle between
Fractional and Decimal Inches.
/- Fraction Bar Key
Used to enter fractions. Fractions
can be entered as proper (1/2, 1/8,
1/16) or improper (3/2, 9/8).
m- Meter Key
Enters or converts to Meters.

Memory
Ç +
(M+) - Adds or stores a value
in the semi-permanent memory (e.g.,
1 5 0 Ç +). Semi-permanent
means the value is cleared when the
calculator is turned off.
Ç – Ç +
(M-) - Subtracts a
value from the semi-permanent
Memory (e.g., 1 5 0 Ç – Ç
+subtracts 150 from the memory).
Ç =
(MR) - Recalls Memory value
(e.g., if 150 has been stored in Memory,
pressing Ç = will display 150).
Ç o
(MC) - Clears Memory value.
Entering Square or Cubic
To label a dimension as “Square” or
“Cubic,” enter the value, then press the
desired dimension key twice for
Square and three times for Cubic. For
example, to enter 25 Cubic Yards,
press 2 5 y y y.

Fraction Resolution
Your calculator is set to display Fractional
values to the nearest 16th of an Inch
(default setting). Press Ç / to access
the fraction resolution setting. Repeated
presses of /will then revolve through
the available settings: 1/16, 1/32, 1/64,
1/2, 1/4 and 1/8. Press oto exit.
Project Keys
p- Paint
Calculates volume of paint, based on
an entered or calculated area. Finds
quantity in Gallons, Quarts or Pints
upon repeated presses.
w- Wallpaper
Calculates number of rolls of wallpaper,
based on an entered or calculated
area.
(Cont’d)

(Cont’d)
t - Tile
Finds the number of tiles, based on
an entered or calculated area.
Repeated presses will scroll between
numbers of tiles for various “stan-
dard” tile sizes (18”, 16”, 13”, 12”,
10”, 8”, 6”, 4”, 2”, 1” and 24”).
Note: Tile sizes shown in Inches, not Square
Inches. In other words, a 6” tile is really 6” x 6”,
or a 36 Square-Inch tile, but it is labeled as a 6”
size.
c- Carpet
Calculates carpet length required,
based on entered or calculated area.
Repeated presses of cwill scroll
between values for 12’, 13’, and 15’
rolls.
C- Concrete
Calculates the number of bags of
concrete required, based on an
entered or calculated volume (e.g.,
cubic feet or cubic yards).
Ç • - Cost
“Cost” function that allows you to
calculate total material cost.
