Correcting Entry Errors - Texas Instruments BA II PLUS User Manual

Correcting Entry Errors

If you enter an incorrect number but have not yet pressed an
operation key (such as H or 4), you can correct the number
without clearing the calculation.
• Remove the last digit or decimal point from a number you
have keyed in by pressing the backspace key * and then
enter the correct digit.
• Erase the entire number by pressing P once, then key in
the correct number and continue with your calculation.
Note: Pressing
pressed an operation key clears any calculation in progress.
Example: Correcting an Entry Error
Compute 3 Q 1234.56, but accidentally enter .86 instead of .56.
Use * to correct the mistake, and then continue with your
calculation.
Procedure
Clear the calculator.
Begin the expression.
Enter the second number incorrectly.
Erase the 86.
