Introduction

In addition to regular calculator functionality, this Checkbook Calculator provides you with the ability to maintain six independent account memories. These memories can be used to maintain checking, savings and credit card balance information. Information stored in these six permanent memories is saved continuously, whether the calculator is on or off, as long as the battery is viable.

This Checkbook Calculator also has a password key which allows you to enter a secret number. This password protection prevents someone from accessing the financial information stored in the device’s memories.

Maintenance and Power Source

Please read the recommendations to ensure trouble-free operation of your Checkbook Calculator.

￿Clean your calculator using a soft dry cloth. Do not use organic solutions such as alcohol.

￿Your calculator should be kept in areas free from extreme temperature changes, dusty and damp areas.

￿Should service of your calculator be required, see the Limited Warranty on page 15.

Power source and battery replacement

The Checkbook Calculator is solar/battery operated. You will probably never need to change the batteries. However, should you need to replace the batteries, unscrew the cover plate on the back of your calculator and insert batteries with the positive side facing up. Your calculator uses one of any of the following button cell batteries : GP189A GPI, AG10, AG130. When you are finished replacing the batteries, replace the cover plate and screw it back into place.

Note: Your calculator is also equipped with Automatic Shut Off which activates after a calculation pause of approximately 2 minutes in order to extend battery life.

Special Features and Decimal System

Add Mode and Floating Decimal System

Add Mode - Pressing the CE/C key to turn the calculator ON automatically places your calculator in Add Mode, indicated by a symbol (AM) in the display.

For example:

Example 1: Entering 1 will result in 0.01 on the display

Example 2: Entering 100 will show as 1.00 on the display

Example 3: Entering 2050 will show as 20.50 on the display 3
