A: You must clear a portion of memory before proceeding. (See appendix B.)

Q:Why does calculating the sine (or tangent) of π radians display a very small number instead of 0?

A:π cannot be represented exactly with the 12–digit precision of the calculator.

Q:Why do I get incorrect answers when I use the trigonometric functions?

A:You must make sure the calculator is using the correct angular mode ( Ÿ {}, {}, or {} ).

Q: What does an annunciator in the display mean?

A:It indicates something about the status of the calculator. See "Annunciators" in chapter 1.

Q: Numbers show up as fractions. How do I get decimal numbers?

A: Press .

Environmental Limits

To maintain product reliability, observe the following temperature and humidity limits:

„Operating temperature: 0 to 45 °C (32 to 113 °F).

„Storage temperature: –20 to 65 °C (–4 to 149 °F).

„Operating and storage humidity: 90% relative humidity at 40 °C (104 °F) maximum.

Changing the Batteries

The calculator is powered by two 3-volt lithium coin batteries, CR2032.

Replace the batteries as soon as possible when the low battery annunciator ( ¥) appears. If the battery annunciator is on, and the display dims, you may lose data. If data is lost, the &  message is displayed.
