FRACTIONAL SETTINGS
When your calculator is in a default condi-
tion (battery change or full reset), it is set
to round fractional values to the nearest
1/64th of an inch. However, you may pro-
gram your preference for six different
accuracy levels and two different modes
(Normal and Fixed), all of which remain in
permanent memory until revised or reset.
The fractional level can be revised by
using Ças shown below:
Ç 1 = Fraction Set to 1/16”
Ç 2 = Fraction Set to 1/2”
Ç 3 = Fraction Set to 1/32”
Ç 4 = Fraction Set to 1/4”
Ç 6 = Fraction Set to 1/64”
Ç 8 = Fraction Set to 1/8”
If there is a value on the display, when one
of the functions above is performed the
accuracy level will be temporarily revised.
If the display is cleared, then the accuracy
will be permanently revised.

POCKET REFERENCE GUIDE — 15
PREFERENCE FEATURE
The Ultra Measure Master provides
Preference Settings that allow you to set
fractional accuracy and display features.
The preference settings are displayed
using ® /. Repeated presses of /tog-
gle through the different settings while the
+and –keys are used for revision.
These settings remain set until they are
changed or the calculator is reset.
FRACTIONAL ACCURACY SETTINGS
• Fraction Set to 1/64” (Default)
• Fraction Set to 1/2”
• Fraction Set to 1/4”
• Fraction Set to 1/8”
• Fraction Set to 1/16”
• Fraction Set to 1/32”
FRACTION MODES
• Normal Mode (Default)
• Fixed Mode
EXPONENT
• On (Default)
• Off
FLASHING FRACTION
• Off (Default)
• On
Whenever the fractional setting is other
than 1/64 normal mode, a star (★) will
appear in the bottom left of the display
when the calculator is turned on. This indi-
cates a special fractional setting is stored
within.

Setting Fractional Accuracy
KEYSTROKES DISPLAY
1. Access the Preference Feature:
® / NM 1/64
(Note “1/64” flashing)
2. Scroll through preference options:
/NM 1/64 INCH
(Note “nm” flashing)
/EXP On
/FLSH OFF
3. Change fraction setting to 1/8:
/NM 0-1/64 INCH
+NM 0-1/2 INCH
+NM 0-1/4 INCH
+NM 0-1/8 INCH
4. Return calculator to normal operation
and verify fraction setting:
o ® / NM 0-1/8 INCH
Setting Fractional Modes
Normal Mode
In Normal Mode, the fractional result is
reduced to its lowest common denominator
(i.e., 8/16 reduces to 1/2).
Fixed Mode
In Fixed Mode, fractional results remain in
the defined accuracy level (i.e., 1/2 will be
shown as 8/16). Entries of higher accuracy
values will temporarily override the fixed
fraction setting.

POCKET REFERENCE GUIDE — 17
USING EXPONENTIAL NOTATION
Your calculator is defaulted to have expo-
nential notation set to “on.” Therefore, any
integer value exceeding seven digits will
display in exponential format. When expo-
nential notation is deactivated, the calcula-
tor adjusts dimensioned values to a higher
unit when the display limit is exceeded
(known as Auto-Ranging). i.e., “10,000,000
mm” exceeds the seven-digit display, so
“10,000 m” is displayed. This auto-ranging
also applies to other dimensional units,
such as inches to feet, feet to yards, etc.
To enter an exponential value, enter the
main value, press s /, then enter the
exponential power.
Entering Exponents
Enter 2.34 x 10-8 into the calculator.

SETTING FLASHING DENOMINATOR
Your calculator can be set to flash the
fractional denominator while fractions are
entered. The flashing denominator is use-
ful as it displays the fractional accuracy
setting.
KEYSTROKES DISPLAY
1. Access the Preference feature:
® / NM 1/64

2. Scroll through Preference options:

/FLSH OFF
3. Change flashing denominator setting:
+FLSH ON
Note: Continuous presses of + toggles between
On and Off.

BASIC MATH OPERATIONS
Your calculator uses standard chaining
logic which simply means that you enter
your first value, the operator (+, –, x,
÷), the second value and then the equals
sign (=).
A. 3 + 2 = 5
B. 3 – 2 = 1
C. 3 x 2 = 6
D. 3 ÷ 2 = 1.5
This feature also makes the calculator sim-
ple to use for dimensional math.
Adding or Subtracting Dimensions
1) You can add or subtract two numbers
when the first value entered is labeled
with units of measurement and the
other is just a whole number (no units
of measurement).
2) You can add or subtract numbers
whose units of measurement are within
the same convention. For example,
you can add or subtract kg and
pounds.
3) You cannot add or subtract two num-
bers of different conventions, except
for weight and volume.
