u To use the status bar to change application format settings
On the status bar, tap the text of the setting you want to change.
Main application
Each tap changes the tapped item as described below.
• "Alg" ↔ "Assist" ... Toggles between the Algebra mode and Assistant mode.
• "Standard" ↔ "Decimal" ... Toggles between the Standard mode and Decimal mode.
• "Real" ↔ "Cplx" ... Toggles between the Real mode and Complex mode.
• "Rad" → "Deg" → "Gra" ... Cycles the angle unit setting between Radian, Degree, and Grad.
Tip:
Changing a setting using the status bar has the same effect as changing the corresponding setting on the Basic
Format dialog box. This means the setting will be changed for all applications.
