Entering ¡ overrides Radian mode. For example, if you enter
50¡8DMS in Radian mode, the calculator still interprets 50 as
degrees and displays the DMS equivalent.
In Radian mode, if you enter 508DMS (no ¡), the calculator
interprets 50 as radians, and then displays the DMS equivalent.
For example, 508DMS in Radian mode shows 2804¡47'20.312".
Likewise, in Degree mode, if you enter 508DMS (no ¡), the
calculator interprets 50 as degrees, and then displays the DMS
equivalent. For example, 508DMS in Degree mode shows 50¡0'0".
In Degree Angle mode, convert 50.672¡ to DMS.
