Modes Menu

Financial

This will display the result of your calcula- tions in a currency format (i.e. 5 will be 5.00,

3.2will be 3.20 and 4.006 will be 4.01). The number of visible decimal places depends directly on your setting for the number of decimal places you wish to see.

Auto-Decimal

By special request from our users in the ac- counting profession. If Auto-Decimal Mode is checked, when entering a series of num- bers, you don't need to enter the decimals.

The calculator will format your input based on the number of decimal places you selected.

Adding Machine

The calculator will work like an old-fashioned adding machine, where you first enter an op- erand (number) and then the operator. The first operator is always a plus (+) in this mode, regardless of what you press. After you enter the last number in your series, pressing the equal sign (=) is the same as pressing a plus followed by an equal. If addi- tion is not your desired operation, then press the operator that you need and then the equal sign.

RPN

This mode allows you to enter numbers and do your calculations in the Reverse Polish Notation. When the RPN mode is checked,

you must first enter your numbers and then enter the operators.

NOTE: RPN and Adding Machine modes Can't be on at the same time.

Show Percentages

The calculator will print the actual percentage value to tape (as well as the de- rived value in the Readout).

% for Number

If this option is checked, then the percentages will be calculated for the previous value. Otherwise the percentages will be calculated as the number you entered divided by 100. For example: expression 200+200-20% will equal to 320 if this option is checked or 399.80 if this option is not checked.

Magic Number (mathematical constant)

If this option is checked then you can perform multiple operations for a single operand. The first operand entered will become the Magic Number. All follow- ing operations will be performed for the Magic Number. Example:

Magic Number Off		Magic Number On
5+2=7		5+2=7
+8	[7+8]=15	+8	[5+8]=13
+9	[15+9] =24	+9	[5+9] =14

Carry Result

If this option is checked, then the result of your calculation will remain in the Readout. If it's not checked, the Readout will be reset to 0 after the calculation is completed. (To complete the calculation push the = button.)
