Getting Started

Important Preliminaries

Turning the Calculator On and Off

To turn the calculator on, press . ON is printed on the bottom of the key.

To turn the calculator off, press

. That is, press and release the  shift

key, then press

 (which has OFF printed in yellow above it). Since the calculator

has Continuous Memory, turning it off does not affect any information you've stored.

To conserve energy, the calculator turns itself off after 10 minutes of inactivity. If you

see the low–power indicator (  ) in the display, replace the batteries as soon as

possible. See appendix A for instructions.

Adjusting Display Contrast

Display contrast depends on lighting, viewing angle, and the contrast setting. To

increase or decrease the contrast, hold down the

 key and press or .

Watch for this symbol in the margin. It identifies examples or

keystrokes that are shown in RPN mode and must be

performed differently in ALG mode.

Appendix C explains how to use your calculator in ALG mode.

1-2 Getting Started

Highlights of the Keyboard and Display

Shifted Keys

Each key has three functions: one printed on its face, a left–shifted function

(yellow), and a right–shifted function (blue). The shifted function names are printed

in yellow above and in blue on the bottom of each key. Press the appropriate shift

key ( or ) before pressing the key for the desired function. For example, to

turn the calculator off, press and release the

 shift key, then press .

Getting Started 1-3

Pressing  or  turns on the corresponding or  annunciator symbol at

the top of the display. The annunciator remains on until you press the next key. To

cancel a shift key (and turn off its annunciator), press the same shift key again.

Alpha Keys

Most keysdisplay a letter in their bottom right corner, as shown above. Whenever

you need to type a letter (for example, a variable or a program label), the A..Z

annunciator appears in the display, indicating that the alpha keys are

“active”.

Variables are covered in chapter 3; labels are covered in chapter 13.

Cursor Keys

Each of the four cursor direction keys is marked with an arrow. In this text we will

use the graphics

Õ,Ö,× and Ø to refer to these keys.

1-4 Getting Started

Backspacing and Clearing

Among the first things you need to know are how to clear an entry, correct a

number, and clear the entire display to start over.

Keys for Clearing

Key Description



Backspace.

If an expression is in the process of being entered,

 erases the

character to the left of the entry cursor ( _ ). Otherwise, with a

completed expression or the result of a calculation in line 2,



replaces that result with a zero.

 also clears error messages

and exits menus.

 behaves similarly when the calculator is in

program-entry and equation-entry modes, as discussed below:

 Equation–entry mode:

If an equation is in the process of being entered or edited,

 erases the character immediately to the left of the insert

cursor; otherwise, if the equation has been entered (no insert

cursor present),

 deletes the entire equation.

 Program-entry mode:

If a program line is in the process of being entered or

edited,  erases the character to the left of the insert

cursor; otherwise, if the program line has been entered, 

deletes the entire line.



Clear or Cancel.

Clears the displayed number to zero or cancels the current

situation (such as a menu, a message, a prompt, a catalog, or

Equation–entry or Program–entry mode).
