Clearing Prefixes
If you make a mistake while keying in a prefix for a function, press
CLEAR to cancel the error. (CLEAR also cancels
the [ST0], [RCL], [GTO], [GSB], [HYP], and keys.) Since the
key is also used to display the mantissa of a displayed
number, all ten digits of the number in the display will appear for a
moment after [PREFIX]is pressed (in Run mode only).

A one-number function is any numerical function that performs an
operation using only one number. To use any one-number function:
1. Keyin the number(if it is not already in the display).
2. Press the function key(s).
