kArithmetic Calculations
•Enter arithmetic calculations as they are written, from left to right.
•Use the -key to input the minus sign before a negative value.
•Calculations are performed internally with a 15-digit mantissa. The result is rounded to a
10-digit mantissa before it is displayed.
•For mixed arithmetic calculations, multiplication and division are given priority over
addition and subtraction.
Example Operation
23 + 4.5 – 53 = –25.5 23+4.5-53w
56 ×(–12) ÷(–2.5) = 268.8 56*-12/-2.5w
(2 + 3) ×102= 500 (2+3)*1E2w*1
1 + 2 – 3 ×4 ÷5 + 6 = 6.6 1+2-3*4/5+6w
100 – (2 + 3) ×4 = 80 100-(2+3)*4w
2 + 3 ×(4 + 5) = 29 2+3*(4+5w*2
(7 – 2) ×(8 + 5) = 65 (7-2)(8+5)w*3
6= 0.3 6/(4*5)w*4
4×5
(1 + 2i) + (2 + 3i) = 3 + 5i(b+c!a(i))+(c+
d!a(i))w
(2 + i) ×(2 – i) = 5 (c+!a(i))*(c-!a(i)
)w
*1(2+3)E2 does not produce the correct
result. Be sure to enter this calculation as shown.
*2Final closed parentheses (immediately before
operation of the wkey) may be omitted, no
matter how many are required.
*3A multiplication sign immediately before an open
parenthesis may be omitted.
*4This is identical to 6 /4 /5 w.

Display Range [SET UP]- [Display] -[Fix] /[Sci] /[Norm]
•Even after you specify the number of decimal places or the number of significant digits,
internal calculations are still performed using a 15-digit mantissa, and displayed values
are stored with a 10-digit mantissa. Use Rnd of the Numeric Calculation Menu (NUM)
(page 2-4-1) to round the displayed value off to the number of decimal place and number
of significant digit settings.
•Number of decimal place (Fix) and number of significant digit (Sci) settings normally
remain in effect until you change them or until you change the normal display range
(Norm) setting.

# Other errors can occur during program
execution. Most of the calculator’s keys
are inoperative while an error message is
displayed.
Press ito clear the error and display
the error position (see page 1-3-4).
# See the “Error Message Table” on page α-1-1
for information on other errors.
kMultiplication Operations without a Multiplication Sign
You can omit the multiplication sign (×) in any of the following operations.
• Before coordinate transformation and Type B functions (1and 6on page 2-1-3), except
for negative signs
○○○○○
Example 2sin30, 10log1.2, 2 , 2Pol(5, 12), etc.
•Before constants, variable names, memory names
○○○○○
Example 2π, 2AB, 3Ans, 3Y1, etc.
•Before an open parenthesis
○○○○○
Example 3(5 + 6), (A + 1)(B – 1), etc.
kOverflow and Errors
Exceeding a specified input or calculation range, or attempting an illegal input causes an
error message to appear on the display. Further operation of the calculator is impossible
while an error message is displayed. The following events cause an error message to appear
on the display.
•When any result, whether intermediate or final, or any value in memory exceeds
±9.999999999 ×1099 (Ma ERROR).
•When an attempt is made to perform a function calculation that exceeds the input range
(Ma ERROR).
•When an illegal operation is attempted during statistical calculations (Ma ERROR). For
example, attempting to obtain 1VAR without data input.
• When an improper data type is specified for the argument of a function calculation
(Ma ERROR).
•When the capacity of the numeric value stack or command stack is exceeded (Stack
ERROR). For example, entering 25 successive (followed by 2 +3 *4 w.
•When an attempt is made to perform a calculation using an illegal formula (Syntax
ERROR). For example, 5 ** 3 w.

19990401
•When you try to perform a calculation that causes memory capacity to be exceeded
(Memory ERROR).
•When you use a command that requires an argument, without providing a valid argument
(Argument ERROR).
•When an attempt is made to use an illegal dimension during matrix calculations
(Dimemsion ERROR).
• When an attempt is made to perform a calculation that has a real number argument and
produces a complex number solution, while “Real” is selected for the Complex Mode
setting on the SET UP Screen (Non-Real ERROR).
kMemory Capacity
Each time you press a key, either one byte or two bytes is used. Some of the functions that
require one byte are: b, c, d, sin, cos, tan, log, In, , and π. Some of the functions that
take up two bytes are d/dx(, Mat, Xmin, If, For, Return, DrawGraph, SortA(, PxIOn, Sum, and
an+1.

Basic Calculations
#As you input numeric values or commands,
they appear flush left on the display.
Calculation results, on the other hand, are
displayed flush right.
#The allowable range for both input and output
values is 15 digits for the mantissa and two
digits for the exponent. Internal calculations
are also performed using a 15-digit mantissa
and two-digit exponent.

uVariables
This calculator comes with 28 variables as standard. You can use variables to store values
you want to use inside of calculations. Variables are identified by single-letter names, which
are made up of the 26 letters of the alphabet, plus rand θ . The maximum size of values that
you can assign to variables is 15 digits for the mantissa and 2 digits for the exponent.
uTo assign a value to a variable
[value] a[variable name] w

Example To assign 123 to variable A
Abcdaav(A)w

uFunction Memory [OPTN]-[FMEM]
Function memory (f1~f20) is convenient for temporary storage of often-used expressions. For
longer term storage, we recommend that you use the GRPH •TBL Mode for expressions and
the PRGM Mode for programs.
•{Store}/{Recall}/{fn}/{SEE} ... {function store}/{function recall}/{function area specification
as a variable name inside an expression}/{function list}
