Keys
The "00" key allows you to quickly enter hundreds. Example: Press "5", then the "00"
key and the calculator will display "500".
The "+/-" key allows you to change a positive number to negative, or vice versa. The
" - " sign appears to the left of the screen when the number displayed is negative.
If you repeatedly press the calculation signs (+, -, x, ÷), the calculation will be
repeated. For example, if you enter "20 + +", the calculator will display "40", which is
the result of 20+20.
The decimal point selector allows you to select from 0, 2, 4 decimal places, or a
floating decimal place (position F), or an automatic conversion to 2 decimal places
(position A).
The round down/up selector allows you to choose round down to the nearest lower
unit (position " ↓ "), round up to the nearest higher unit (position "↑"), or a result
automatically rounded up/down (position "5/4").
The calculation counter indicator showing the number of calculations carried out
appears at the top left of the screen. Calculations are recorded in the memory until
you press the "ON/AC" key, or you reach 100 calculations. Press "ON/AC" in order to
delete all calculations stored in the memory.
To correct a number, press the "" key until you reach the number you want to enter.
To completely delete a number you have just entered, press once on "C/CE".
