uTo specify the number of significant digits (Sci)Example To specify three significant digits

2(Sci) 4(3)

Press the function key that corresponds to the number of significant digits you want to specify (n = 0 to 9).

Displayed values are rounded off to the number of significant digits you specify.

Specifying 0 makes the number of significant digits 10.

uTo specify the exponential display range (Norm 1/Norm 2)

Press 3(Norm) to switch between Norm 1 and Norm 2.

Norm 1: 10–2(0.01)>x, x >1010

Norm 2: 10–9(0.000000001)>x, x >1010

uTo specify the engineering notation display (Eng)

Press 4(Eng) to switch between engineering notation and standard notation. The indicator “/E” is on the display while engineering notation is in effect.
