uTo specify the number of significant digits (Sci)

Example

To specify three significant digits

 

2(Sci)dw

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Press the number key that corresponds to the number of significant digits you want to specify

 

(n = 0 to 9). Specifying 0 makes the number of significant digits 10.

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

uTo specify the normal display (Norm 1/Norm 2)Press 3(Norm) to switch between Norm 1 and Norm 2.Norm 1: 10–2(0.01) > x, x >1010Norm 2: 10–9(0.000000001) > x, x >1010uTo specify the engineering notation display (Eng mode)

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

You can use the following symbols to convert values to engineering notation, such as 2,000 (= 2 × 103) 2k.

E (Exa)

1018

 

m (milli)10–3
P (Peta)

1015

 

μ (micro)10–6
T (Tera)

1012

 

n (nano)10–9
G (Giga)

109

 

p (pico)

10–12

M (Mega)

106

 

f (femto)

10–15

k (kilo)

103

 

 

 

The engineering symbol that makes the mantissa a value from 1 to 1000 is automatically selected by the calculator when engineering notation is in effect.
