These icons appear to show you the interim result of calculations. For example, the ‘=’ icon appears on the screen when =or %is pressed, while icons such as ‘M+’ and ‘+’ appear after each corresponding key has been pressed.

An ‘M’ is shown when a value other than 0 is put in the memory. To clear the content of the memory, press @twice. Note that the pressing of $or # also functions as =.
