OPERATING CONTROLS
1
CONSTANT MODE SELECTOR:
“K” position: The following constant functions will be performed.
Multiplication: The calculator will automatically remember the first number entered
(the multiplicand) and the instruction.
Division: The calculator will automatically remember the second number entered
(the divisor) and the instruction.
“•” position: Neutral
2ROUNDING SELECTOR:
“ ” position: In multiplication and division, an answer is rounded up.
“5/4”position: In multiplication and division, an answer is rounded off.
“ ” position: An answer is rounded down.

down.
3DECIMAL/ADD MODE SELECTOR:
1. Decimal position (F, 3, 2, 0)
Presets the number of decimal places in the answer.
In the “F”position, the answer is displayed in the floating decimal system.
2. Add mode position (A):
The decimal point in addition and subtraction entries is automatically positioned to
the 2nd digit from the lowest digit of an entry number. Use of the add mode permits
addition and subtraction of numbers without an entry of the decimal point. Use of the
, and keys will automatically override the Add Mode and decimally correct
answers will be displayed.

“∑”position: This selector will accumulate the following:
1. Numbers entered or answers obtained with the and keys will
be accumulated in the 1st memory register.
2. Numbers entered or answers obtained with the key will be
subtracted from the 1st memory register.
“•”position: Neutral
52ND MEMORY KEYS:
MEMORY PLUS : Adds an entry or an answer to the 2nd memory. This key
also serves as the key when accumulating product
and/or quotients in the 2nd memory.
RECALL-CLEAR MEMORY : Pressed once, recalls the contents of the 2nd
memory to the display. Pressed twice, recalls
and clears the contents of the 2nd memory.

Note: Each time the key is used in the subtraction, 1 will be subtracted from the
count.
When the key is pressed once, the number stored is displayed and may be used for
further calculation. To clear the counter, press the key twice. The counter has the
capacity of a maximum of 3 digits (up to 999). If the count exceeds 999, the counter
recounts from 0 (Zero).
8RIGHT SHIFT KEY:
Operation of this key in entering numbers or calculated result shifts the number one
digit to the right together with a decimal point. Used for one digit correction.
9
SQUARE ROOT KEY:

POWER SUPPLY
This calculator has a solar cell and is energized by electrical energy produced by the solar cell. The
solar cell converts luminous energy directly into electrical energy by utilizing the photovoltaic effect.
Brightness for operation
If the light exposed to the solar cell is insufficient, the calculator is not powered to operate.
With the brightness criterion below, operate the calculator at 150 Iux or more.
Outdoors or by the window: Incandescent lamp: Fluorescent lamp:
Backup Battery
If the light exposed to the solar cell is insufficient (150 Iux or lower), the backup battery is turned on
automatically to operate the calculator.
Use the calculator where it is
not exposed to direct sunlight
but receives enough illumi-
nation for comfortable read-
ing.
Use the calculator wherever it
receives the same illumi-
nation as attained within 2.5
meters of a 100 Watts in-
candescent lamp.
Use the calculator wherever
it receives the same illumi-
nation as attained within 1.5
meters of a 15 Watts fluores-
cent lamp.
