Page 4: Handling Precautions
• Avoid dropping your calculator and otherwise subjecting it to strong impact. • Do not store the calculator or leave it in areas exposed to high temperature or humidity, or large amounts of dust. When exposed to low temperatures, the calculator may require more time to display results and may even fail to operate.
Page 5: Modes
fully reread this manual and ensure that the problem is not due to low battery power (fx-85B/fx-280) or operational error. • The contents of this manual are subject to change without notice. • No part of this manual may be reproduced in any form without the express written consent of the manufacturer.

In the case of decimal value, you can select between two formats that determine at what point exponential notation is used.
Page 27: Kwhen You Have A Problem
To switch between NORM 1 and NORM 2 Press . There is no indication on the display of which format is currently in effect, but you can determine the setting by performing the following calculation. • All of the examples in this manual show calculation results using the NORM 1 format.
Page 28 • In a series of calculations, press result is displayed to clear only the last calculation per- formed. • To change the operator key ( etc.) you just pressed, simply press the correct operator key. In this case, the operator of the last key you press is used, but the operation retains the order of precedence of the operation for the first key you pressed.
Page 29: Kpower Supply
If this happens, move to an area with more light. • fx-85B/fx-280 This calculator is powered by the CASIO TWO- WAY POWER system, which makes it possible for the calculator to operate even in total darkness.
Page 30 Old batteries may leak, causing serious damage to the interior of the calculator. • The battery that comes with the calculator when you pur- chase it is for testing only. It may not provide full service life.
