INITIAL SETUP
Mode Selection
Normal mode (NORMAL):
Used to perform arithmetic operations and function calculations.
Complex number mode (CPLX):
Used to perform arithmetic operations with complex numbers.
Statistic mode (STAT):
Used to perform statistical calculations.
When executing mode selection, temporary memories, statistical
data and last answer memory will be cleared even when reselecting
the same mode.
Selecting the Display Notation and Decimal Places
The calculator has four display notation systems for displaying
calculation results. When FIX, SCI, or ENG symbol is displayed,
the number of decimal places can be set to any value between 0
and 9. Displayed values will be reduced to the corresponding
number of digits.

Determination of the Angular Unit
This calculator has three angular units: DEG (°), RAD (Radians)
and GRAD (g).
Press

SCIENTIFIC CALCULATIONS
• Press
to select the normal mode.
• In each example, press
to clear the display. And if the FIX,
SCI, or ENG indicator is displayed, clear the indicator by press-
ing
.
Arithmetic Operations
• The closing parenthesis

omitted.
Constant Calculations
• In the constant calculations, the addend becomes a constant.
Subtraction and division are performed in the same manner. For
multiplications, the multiplicand becomes a constant.
• When performing calculations using constants, constants will be
displayed as K.
Functions
• Refer to operation examples of each function.
• Before starting calculations, specify the angular unit.
Random Numbers
A pseudo-random number with three significant digits can be gen-
erated by pressing
dom number, press
. You can perform this function in the
normal and statistics modes. (You cannot perform this function
while you are using the N-Base function.)
• Random numbers use memory Y. Each random number is gen-
erated on the basis of the value stored in memory Y (pseudo-
random number series).
Angular Unit Conversions
Each time
are pressed, the angular unit changes in
sequence.
Memory Calculations
The calculator has six temporary memories (A-D, X and Y), one
independent memory (M) and one last answer memory (ANS).

Chain Calculations
This calculator allows the previous calculation result to be used in
the following calculation.
The previous calculation result will not be recalled after entering
multiple instructions.
Fraction Calculations
This calculator performs arithmetic operations and memory calcu-
lations using a fraction, and conversion between a decimal number
and a fraction.
• In all cases, a total of up to 10 digits including integer, numera-
tor, denominator and the symbol (l) can be entered.
• If the number of digits to be displayed is greater than 10, the
number is converted to and displayed as a decimal number.
• A decimal number, variable, or exponent cannot be used in a
to
fraction.
Binary, Octal, Decimal, and Hexadecimal Operations
(N-Base)
This calculator can perform conversions between numbers ex-
pressed in binary, octal, decimal and hexadecimal systems. It can
also perform the four basic arithmetic operations, calculations with
parentheses and memory calculations using binary, octal, decimal,
and hexadecimal numbers. In addition, the calculator can carry out
A-D, X,Y
the logical operations AND, OR, NOT, NEG, XOR and XNOR on
1
binary, octal and hexadecimal numbers.
Conversion to each system is performed by the following keys:
: Converts to the binary system. " " appears.
: Converts to the octal system. " " appears.
: Converts to the hexadecimal system. " " appears.
: Converts to the decimal system. " ", " ", and " "
disappear from the display.
Conversion is performed on the displayed value when these keys
are pressed.
(
).
Note: In this calculator, the hexadecimal numbers A – F are entered
by pressing
,
,
and displayed as follows:
A
, B
, C
, D
, E
In the binary, octal, and hexadecimal systems, fractional parts
cannot be entered. When a decimal number having a fractional
part is converted into a binary, octal, or hexadecimal number, the
(1)
fractional part will be truncated. Likewise, when the result of a
binary, octal, or hexadecimal calculation includes a fractional part,
the fractional part will be truncated. In the binary, octal, and hexa-
decimal systems, negative numbers are displayed as a comple-
ment.
Time, Decimal and Sexagesimal Calculations
Conversion between decimal and sexagesimal numbers can be
performed. In addition, the four basic arithmetic operations and
memory calculations can be carried out using the sexagesimal
system.

Calculations Using Physical Constants
See the quick reference card and the other side of the "Operation
Examples" sheet.
A constant is recalled by pressing
the physical constant. You have to designate the physical constant
using 2-digit numbers. For example, speed of light in vacuum
should be designated as "01".
The recalled constant appears in the display mode selected with
the designated number of decimal places.
Physical constants can be recalled in the normal mode (when not
set to binary, octal, or hexadecimal) or statistics mode.
Note: Physical constants and metric conversions are based either
on the 1986 values released by the Committee on Data for
Science and Technology (CODATA) of ICSU (International
Council of Scientific Unions) or on ISO specifications.
Metric Conversions
See the quick reference card and the other side of the "Operation
Examples" sheet.
Unit conversions can be performed in the normal (when not set to
binary, octal, or hexadecimal) and statistics modes.
Modify Function
In this calculator, all calculation results are internally obtained in
scientific notation with up to 12 digits for the mantissa. However,
since calculation results are displayed in the form designated by
the display notation and the number of decimal places indicated,
the internal calculation result may differ from that shown in the
display. By using the modify function, the internal value is con-
verted to match that of the display, so that the displayed value can

In the statistical calculation formulas, an error will occur when:
• the absolute value of the intermediate result or calculation result
is equal to or greater than 1
• the denominator is zero.
• an attempt is made to take the square root of a negative number.
• no solution exists in the quadratic regression calculation.
Normal Probability Calculations
Refer also to the operation examples sheet.

• P(t), Q(t), and R(t) will always take positive values, even when
t<0, because these functions follow the same principle used
when solving for an area.
Values for P(t), Q(t), and R(t) are given to six decimal places.
