Appendix A Resetting the Calculator
Warning!
The procedure described here clears all memory contents. Never perform this op-
eration unless you want to totally clear the memory of the calculator. If you need
the data currently stored in memory, be sure to write it down somewhere before
performing the RESET operation.

uTo reset the calculator
1. Press mto display the main menu.
2. Highlight the MEM icon and press w, or press j.
3. Use cto move the highlighting down to “Reset” and then press w.
4. Press 1(YES) to reset the calculator or 4(NO) to abort the operation without
resetting anything.
•If the display appears to dark or dim after you reset the calculator, adjust contrast.

•Performing the RESET operation while an internal calculation is being per-
formed will cause all data in memory to be deleted. Make sure that no calcula-
tion be being performed before starting a RESET operation.
•If the calculator stops operating correctly for some reason, use a thin, pointed
object to press the P button on the back of the calculator. This should make the
RESET confirmation screen appear on the display. Perform the procedure to
complete the RESET operation.

Appendix B Power Supply
This unit is powered by two AAA-size (LR03 (AM4) or R03 (UM-4)) batteries. In addi-
tion, it uses a single CR2032 lithium battery as a back up power supply for the memory.
If the following message appears on the display, immediately stop using the calcula-
tor and replace batteries.
If you try to continue using the calculator, it will automatically switch power off, in
order to protect memory contents. You will not be able to switch power back on until
you replace batteries.
Be sure to replace the main batteries at least once every two years, no matter how
much you use the calculator during that time.
Warning!
If you remove both the main power supply and the memory back up batteries at the
same time, all memory contents will be erased. If you do remove both batteries,
correctly reload them and then perform the reset operation.
The batteries that come with this unit discharge slightly during shipment and
storage. Because of this, they may require replacement sooner than the normal
expected battery life.

kReplacing Batteries
Precautions:
Incorrectly using batteries can cause them to burst or leak, possibly damaging the
interior of the unit. Note the following precautions:
•Be sure that the positive (+) and negative (–) poles of each battery are facing in
the proper directions.
•Never mix batteries of different types.
•Never mix old batteries and new ones.
•Never leave dead batteries in the battery
compartment.
•Remove the batteries if you do not plan to
use the unit for long periods.
•Never try to recharge the batteries sup-
plied with the unit.
•Do not expose batteries to direct heat, let
them become shorted, or try to take them
apart.

197
Appendix
(Should a battery leak, clean out the battery compartment of the unit immedi-
ately, taking care to avoid letting the battery fluid come into direct contact with
your skin.)
Keep batteries out of the reach of small children. If swallowed, consult with a
physician immediately.

uTo replace the main power supply batteries
*Never remove the main power supply and the memory back up batteries from
the unit at the same time.
*Besure to switch the unit off before replacing batteries. Replacing batteries
with power on will cause data in memory to be deleted.
*Never replace the back cover or switch the calculator on while the main power
supply batteries are removed from the calculator or not loaded correctly. Doing
so can cause memory data to be deleted and malfunction of the calculator. If
mishandling of batteries causes such problems, correctly load batteries and
then perform the RESET operation to resume normal operation.
*Be sure to replace all two batteries with new ones.
1. Press !O to turn the calculator off.
2. Making sure that you do not accidently press the okey, attach the case to the
calculator and then turn the calculator over.
3. Remove the back cover from the unit by pull-
ing with your finger at the point marked ✩.
4. Remove the two old batteries.
5. Load a new set of two batteries, making sure
that their positive (+) and negative (–) ends
are facing in the proper directions.
6. Replace the back cover and press oto turn
power on. The memory back-up battery pro-
vides power to the memory while the main
batteries are removed, so memory data is not
lost.

198
Appendix
•Power will not switch on if you press owhile the back cover is open.
•Do not leave the unit without main power supply batteries loaded for long periods.
Doing so can cause deletion of data stored in memory.
•If the figures on the display appear too light and hard to see after you turn on
power, adjust the contrast.

uTo replace the memory back up battery
*Before replacing the memory back up battery, switch on the unit and check to see
if the “Low battery!” message appears on the display. If it does, replace the main
power supply batteries before replacing the back up power supply battery.
*Never remove the main power supply and the memory back up batteries from the
unit at the same time.
*Besure to switch the unit off before replacing battery. Replacing battery with
power on will cause data in memory to be deleted.
*Be sure to replace the back up power supply battery at least once 2 years, re-
gardless of how much you use the unit during that time. Failure to do so can
cause data in memory to be deleted.
1. Press !O to turn the calculator off
2. Making sure that you do not accidently press the okey, attach the case to the
calculator and then turn the calculator over.

3. Remove the back cover from the unit by pull-
ing with your finger at the point marked ✩.
4. Remove screw ion the back of the calcula-
tor, and remove the back up battery holder.
5. Remove the old battery.

6. Wipe off the surfaces of a new battery with a
soft, dry cloth. Load it into the calculator so
that its positive (+) side is facing up.
7. Pressing down on the battery with the battery
holder, replace the screw that secures the
holder in place.
8. Replace the back cover and press oto turn power on. The main batteries
provide power to the memory while the back-up battery is removed, so memory
data is not lost.

kAbout the Auto Power Off Function
The calculator switches power off automatically if you do not perform any key opera-
tion for about 6 minutes. To restore power, press o.
The calculator automatically turns off it is left for about 60 minutes with a calculation
stopped by an output command (^), which is indicated by the “–Disp–” message on
the display.

Check the input numeric value
and correct it.
When using memories, check
that the numeric values stored
in memories are correct.
4Try using a smaller value for ∆x
(xincrement/decrement).
1Correctly input a Lbl nto corres-
pond to the Goto n, or delete
the Goto nif not required.
2Store a program in program
area Prog “file name”, or delete
the Prog “file name” if not
required.
3Correctly match “Next” with
“For”, “LpWhile” with “Do”, or

•Ensure that Prog “file name” is
not used to return from
subroutines to main routine. If
used, delete any unnecessary
Prog “file name”.
• Trace the subroutine jump
destinations and ensure that no
jumps are made back to the
original program area. Ensure
that returns are made correctly.
