Backspaces and deletes the right digit of a displayed input value.

[AC]

Be sure to press [AC] when beginning a new calculation.

Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division

R

Division with remainder. The display shows up to (6) digits for the

 

quotient and (4) digits for the remainder.

[=]

Performs calculation

[+/-]

Changes the sign of a displayed value. You must enter the value

 

first.

[(] [)]

Left and right parentheses. You can have up to 18 sets of nested

 

parentheses. Note: The calculator uses “order of operations”. So

 

for 2 + 3 x 4, you do not need parentheses around 3 x 4. The

 

calculator will calculate 3 x 4, then add 2.

[SHIFT] [π]

In degree mode, this will input the numerical value for π. In radian

 

mode, the “π” symbol will be displayed.

[SHIFT] [X-Y]

Swaps the value of x and y in power and root calculations. Also

 

swaps the minuend and subtrahend in subtraction calculations.

 

Example: for 32, to swap 3 and 2, press [3] [xy] [2] [SHIFT] [X-Y] [=].

 

The answer displayed is 8.
