OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS AND TECHNIQUES
DECIMAL SYSTEM
Enter numbers and decimal point exactly as you would write them. Entries may contain
8 whole or 7decimal digits or any combination thereof.
F(FULL FLOATING) The decimal point in results will automatically position itself
to allow maximum decimal accuracy within the 8digit display capacity, without the loss
of whole
number digits.
Example: 10-;.
3; 3.3333333
+(ADD-MODE) The last two digits in any entry will automatically be displayed as
decimals unless
the decimal key is depressed. If the result obtained by .depressing the G
orOO keys contains more than two decimal places the result will automat.ically.be
rounded to two decimal places. This special setting IS designed for convenience In
working with monetary values.
Example:
$13.75 + 145.00; $158.75
Decimal at +
Depress ~
Numbers are set as 1375 +,14500+ and displayed as 13.75, 145.00. If two zeros are not
entered, as in 145.00, the displayed number would be 1.45. An alternate method when
entering awhole dollar
amount, such as $145.00, is to depress the decimal point key
inste.ad
of entering two zeros.
DECIMAL FLEXIBILITY
The decimal setting may be changed between calculations without affecting the accuracy
of a
number being entered, or a number already stored in the calculator.
CLEAR 4ND CLEAR ENTRY KEY ~
Depression of this key clears the entire calculator unless there is an entry in progress or
an overflow condition exists. If there is an entry in. progress depression of the~ key
clears only
the display ell'try. If an overflow condition exists depression of the ~ key
clears only
the overflow condition without disturbing the constant value or results.
INSIGNIFICANT ZERO SUPPRESSION
Unnecessary zeros to the left of the most significant displayed digit are not displayed.
5

FU LLV AUTOMATIC CONSTANTS
The value entered with the 0key or the result obtained with thew ~ey is aut~mati
cally retained as a constant factor. The last divisor entered is automatically retained as a
constant divisor.
UNDERFLOW
In results containing a combination of whole and decimal digits in excess of the display
capacity of 8, the decimal point will shift to accommodate the 8 most significant digits,
not to exceed 8 whole numbers.
Example: 12345.679 x27.01 = 333456.78979
Examples: 2 x 4 = 8
2x6=12
2+4= .5
12+4=3
OVERFLOW
C at the left of the display indicates that the 8-digit display capacity has been exceeded.
The calculator must be cleared by depressing the ~ key before continuing.
