Running a Program

To run (sometimes called “execute”) a program:

1.Press fs to set the calculator back to Run mode. If the calculator is already in Run mode (that is, the PRGM status indicator in the display is not lit), skip this step.

2.Key any required data into the calculator, just as if you were calculating manually. When a program is run, it uses the data already keyed into the display and the registers inside the calculator.

3.Press tto begin program execution.
