The status bar will display messages and current status like battery level, angle mode, fraction
results, complex mode, or input/output settings.
Select the desired icon by highlighting it
and pressing lor just press the number
or letter in the lower right corner.
The function keys allow you to access the
tab (soft key) menus that will come up at
the bottom of the screen. When an (>)
appears above the ukey, selecting u
will offer more on-screen choices.
The akey activates any function
displayed on or above the calculator
buttons that is in red. For example, to
type the letter A, press a, then f.
The pkey displays every mode the
calculator has. To select a mode, you
may $N to the desired icon and press
lor press the number or letter in the
lower right hand corner of the icon.
The dkey operates like the back
arrow on a web browser; it will take you
back one screen each time you select it.
The dkey will not take you to the
icon menu.
The Lkey activates any function dis-
played on or above the calculator buttons
that is yellow. For example, to find the
s uare root of number, you would need
to press L, then . L5gives you
access to on-screen color formatting.
The Okey will power the unit on. To
turn the unit off, press the yellow L
key, then Okey.
The lkey executes operations. When
data is entered, the lbutton must be
pressed to store the data.

computations, including binary, octal,
decimal, and hexadecimal functions
and matrices.
Stati tic
This icon menu is used to perform
single-variable (standard deviation)
and paired variable (regression)
statistical calculations, to perform
tests, to analyze data and to draw
statistical graphs.

analyze and animate geometric
objects.
Picture Plot
This mode allows you to plot points
(that represent coordinates) on
screen and then perform various
analysis of the data collected.

PICTURE PLOT: In this mode, you can ta e images or a series of images, plot points on
the image and perform regressions, graph y or x as a function of time, and create tables
from the plotted points, including time. Any previous image will automatically display;
press ito see soft-menu choices for the image.
∂To begin plotting points, press w(Plot). Use numbers (they correlate to the
position on the number pad) or arrows to find a point then lto store. Follow the
prompts in the status bar.

The initial screen allows immediate input of functions set equal to zero. You may begin
inputting data into Y1: pressing lto store. To draw your function, select u(DRAW).
Note: Colors have been pre-determined for each function. To change the color of the
function, highlight the function and press L5(FORMAT).
∂To draw the graph of the function y = -1.2x2+ 2.8, enter the following from the
GRAPH home screen:
• -1.2f +2.8
To analyze features of this graph (roots, maximum and minimums, y-intercepts,
intersections, determine coordinates, and integrals) select y(G-Solv).
∑ q(Root):
Note: The left-most root within the window will always display first. Press lto display
the root’s coordinate on the graph as an ordered pair. Select $to display the next
root to the right.
GRAPH
Various icons (Run, Table, Dynamic, Recursion & Conics) will allow
you to raph or analyze the raphs of iven information. This section is

∏ e(Maximum):
Note: As long as the x-value of your vertex is in the viewable domain, you do not need
to see the vertex to calculate the maximum value. However, you can change the
viewing window by selecting e(V-Window) in the graph window. You can also
change the window manually by using !$BN.
To change the type of function the calculator graphs, highlight the equation to be
changed and press e(Type) and r(Convert).
πConvert the original function to a Y ≤function.
∫ Graph the function y < x – 3 with the original function. To change the type
before entering in the function, Nto select the color for your expression and
then the following:
• euwf-3l
Note: The calculator is set to graph the union of the inequalities. To change this to the
intersection, press Lp(Set Up). Press NN and choose either q(Intsect) or
w(Union).
œTo find the integral value for the function, press y(G-Solv), u, and e. The
calculator now offers three different options: q(∫dx) allows the user to specify
lower and upper bounds, w(ROOT) forces the calculator to use the roots as the
bounds, e(INTSECT) forces the calculator to use the intersection points
as the bounds.

natural input and display of certain functions, just as they appear in a textboo .
To ma e sure your calculator is in “Math” mode, press Lpqd.
By pressing Lp, the calculator enters the set up menu; this is also where the
calculator can be changed to degree or radian mode, the number of decimal places
displayed can be set, and other options.
∂When performing general computations, you can press zto enter fractions and
mixed numbers. To solve the problem 2( 1 + (3 + )), enter the following:

The initial screen is the List Editor Screen that allows input of statistical data and
performs numerous statistical calculations. To input a list of single-variable data,
highlight the first cell under List 1 and enter each number followed by l.
∂For this example, input this set of data:
• 1, 0.5, 1.2, 4, -1, 1, 3, 5, 6, 3.4
∑From this screen you can display various graphs depending on whether you have
single or paired-variable data (scatter plot, line, normal probability, histogram,
median box, mean box, normal distribution, bro en line, and regression: linear,
quadratic, cubic, quartic, logarithmic, exponential, power, sinusoidal and logistic).
A few examples of statistics graphs are below:
Note: The colored icon in the status bar indicates that Color Lin is on, meaning, you
can manually assign data a specific color. Here all values less than 20% appear in
blue and values greater than 20% appear in green.
