3. Calculations using memory
Before saving a new value to the memory, the content must first be deleted by pressing the 'MRC' key twice

To deduct a value from the memory, enter the chosen number or calculation, and then press the "M-" key.
The number entered (or the result of the calculation) is deducted from the value stored in the memory. In
order to display the value stored in the memory press "MRC". To delete the memory content, press twice on
"MRC", the caption "M" will disappear.
To save a number in the memory Press
2 x 3 = 6 2 x 3 "M+" M
-) 3 x 4 = 12 3 x 4 "M-" M
+) 4 x 5 = 20 4 x 5 "M+" M
