3.1 Basic Calculations
- Enter numbers using the numeric keypad.
- Use the +, -, ×, ÷ buttons for arithmetic operations.
- Press = to display the result.
- The AC button clears all entries and calculations. The DEL button deletes the last entered digit.
3.2 Function Modes
Press the MODE button to cycle through different calculation modes:
- COMP (Compute): Standard arithmetic and function calculations.
- SD (Standard Deviation): Statistical calculations.
- REG (Regression): Regression calculations.
3.3 Scientific Functions
Many keys have secondary functions, accessed by pressing the SHIFT button (indicated by yellow text above keys) or ALPHA button (indicated by red text above keys) before the desired function key.
- Trigonometry: sin, cos, tan and their inverse functions (sin-1, cos-1, tan-1 via SHIFT).
- Logarithms: log (base 10), ln (natural logarithm).
- Powers and Roots: x2, √ (square root via SHIFT), xy, y√x (y-th root via SHIFT).
- Factorial: x! (via SHIFT).
- Constants: π (Pi), e (Euler's number via SHIFT).
3.4 Memory Functions
The calculator includes nine variable memories (A, B, C, D, E, F, X, Y, M) for storing values.
- Store: To store a value, enter the value, press SHIFT, then STO, and finally the variable key (e.g., A).
- Recall: To recall a stored value, press RCL, then the variable key (e.g., A).
- Memory Plus/Minus: Use M+ to add the displayed value to memory M, and SHIFT then M- to subtract.
4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning
To maintain the calculator's performance and appearance:
- Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth.
- For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Do not use strong solvents.
