Getting Started Getting Started This section helps you get started using your powerOne™ Personal calculator. The Displays There are two main displays: the calculator and the templates. Additionally, several types of input screens are used to enter numeric, date or time values into the templates. The templates perform business, conversion and statistics computations, working with the input screen to enter variables and perform calculations.
Getting Started powerOne button Menu button powerOne Button The powerOne button, in the top left corner of the display, offers access to logging functions, online help, product information, and calculator preferences. If the manual refers to the menu bar, you need to tap the menu button to make the menu bar visible.
Getting Started (which means that it will appear when you hit the calculator button above), enter the application and choose the powerOne button in the upper, left-hand corner of the main calculator display. From the list, select Preferences and check the “Use Calc Button” checkbox. powerOne™...

Clear: displays 'clear' when the current value has been cleared during an arithmetic operation. See the section on CE/C for more information. Trig. Mode: displays current trigonometry mode - ‘deg’ for degrees, 'rad' for radians. Display Mode: displays 'eng' when in engineering display mode, 'sci' when in scientific display mode.

Performing Arithmetic Functions are available either on the screen or from the list displayed when the “func” button is selected. Select that button to display the list. Other buttons function as standard calculator buttons. Input Mode This calculator can be used in "order of operations" mode or chain calculation mode.
Performing Arithmetic 52.5 The number of decimal places displayed depends on the decimal setting. See the section on Calculator Settings for more information. Chain Input Mode This is the input mode used by many business calculators. In this input mode math is performed by alternating chains of values and operations.

Performing Arithmetic The Backspace ( ) button allows for editing of numbers as they are entered. Tapping this button removes the last digit entered (i.e., 54.32 becomes 54.3). Tapping the Clear Entry/Clear (CE/C) button once clears only the currently entered number. Tapping it a second time clears the entire computation.

Performing Arithmetic Memory There is a single memory location, plus the system clipboard. To access the memory location, use the 'MEM' button. To access the system clipboard, use Copy and Paste from the edit menu or by selecting the powerOne button. Memory Locations To store to a memory location, enter the number, select “MEM”, and finally “Store”.
Skins/Personalized Displays Skins/Personalized Displays Skins offer a personal look to the main and input calculators. Some skins offer a different button layout, offering the advanced mathematics functions in drop down lists or giving access to programmable buttons, which can be changed in the preferences screen.

The templates have their own preferences, detailed in the section on Using the Templates. To access the calculator settings, go to the main calculator display and choose “Preferences”...
Calculator Settings places: the number of significant digits displayed is 1+ the decimal setting. Display Mode There are three display modes: normal, scientific and engineering. In normal mode, numbers appear as they are entered. In scientific mode, numbers are always displayed in scientific notation and likewise, in engineering mode numbers are always displayed in engineering format.
Using the Templates Using the Templates Templates are used to perform business and calendar computations. This section details their general use. See the section on each template for details on that specific computation. Accessing the Templates To access a template, choose a category from the template bar in the top, right-hand corner of the display.
Once downloaded, synchronize the add-on template set to the device’s main memory (not to an expansion card) and run the application. The template set will be imported automatically. To delete the add-on templates, enter any template in the set, select the menu button, and choose “Delete Template Set”...
Using the Templates third, or evaluate, column contains "?" buttons next to variables that can be calculated. To compute a value, tap the "?" button next to the variable to be computed. Some templates offer multiple methods of looking at the same variable.

Entries made in the main calculator are separate from the input screen except for the memory, which provides a simple way of sharing values between the calculator and templates. To store the value in the input screen back to the template tap the “...

Using the Templates template itself. The "actual" day count method counts the actual number of days in a month (even allowing for leap years) and the total number of days in a year. The 30/360 method treats all months as though they have 30 days and years as though they have 360 days.

from the Variable pop-up list. Selecting “Set All” will set all the variables to the current variable’s preferences. Variable: the variable to set. Dec Setting: sets the displayed decimal places - float mode displays all available decimal places, 0-11 sets the decimal places to that number of places.
Business Computations Business Computations A series of business computations exist. Included are templates to perform percent change, profit margin, discount, markup, sales tax and tip computations. Discount This template performs discount computations: Price: current price. Sales Price: sales price. Discount%: percentage discount. For example, a 30% discount would be entered as “30”.
Old: the old value. New: the new value. Change%: the percentage changed per period. For example, an 8.125% change would be entered as “8.125”. A positive value represents an increase while a negative one represents a decrease. Periods: the number of periods. Percent change set to one period and markup as a percentage of cost are identical computations.
Business Computations After Tax: after tax amount. The tip template computes tip, total bills, and performs bill-splitting functions. Bill: the bill amount before tip. Tip/Tip%/Tip$: "Tip" allows a percentage to be chosen from the pop-up list. "Tip%" allows a tip percentage to be manually entered.

45,000,000 115,000,000 Periods Compute the percent change by selecting “?” on the Change% line. Sales have increased 26.44% per year, comparing favorably to the 20% industry pace. Profit Margin To perform this computation, choose Profit Margin from the template menu on the main screen. Your division contributes $724,500,000 in revenue.

Business Computations Discount To perform this computation, choose Discount from the template menu on the main screen. The coupon is for 10% off the original cost. What is the discounted price if the cost is $9.99? Variable Enter Clear… Price 9.99 Discount% Compute the price by selecting “?”...
Calendar Calendar computations include both date and time computations. Date Calculations Dates can be computed using an actual calendar year, the 30/360, actual/360 or actual/365 day-count method. Method: the day-count method. See the section on Template Preferences under Template & Variable Settings.
Calendar The bottom section performs time addition calculations: Time: starting time. HH.MMSS/HrsFrac: time duration. "HH.MMSS" displays time in hour, minute, second format (4hrs, 7mins, 30sec would display as 4.0730). "Hrs.Frac" displays time as a fraction of an hour. Sum: the end time. Examples Date Go to the Calendar –...
