Reading the Display The display of the calculator shows expressions you input, calculation results, and various indicators. Input expression Indicators Math Math Math Math Calculation result • If a ' indicator appears on the right side of the calculation result, it means the displayed calculation result continues to the right.
The display currently shows an intermediate result of a Disp multi-statement calculation. Important: For some type of calculation that takes a long time to execute, the display may show only the above indicators (without any value) while it performs the calculation internally. Using Menus Some of the calculator’s operations are performed using menus.

1MthIO 2LineIO Specifies the display format. Natural Display (MthIO) causes fractions, Math Math irrational numbers, and other expressions to be displayed as they are written on paper. MthIO: Selects MathO or LineO. MathO displays input and calculation results using the same format as they are written on paper. LineO displays input the same way as MathO, but calculation results are displayed in linear format.
c6Rdec 1ON ; 2OFF Specifies whether or not to display calculation results using recurring decimal form. c7Disp 1Dot ; 2Comma Specifies whether to display a dot or a comma for the calculation result decimal point. A dot is always displayed during input.
e while the cursor is at the end of the input calculation will cause it to jump to the beginning, while pressing d while the cursor is at the beginning will cause it to jump to the end. • You can input up to 99 bytes for a calculation. Each numeral, symbol, or function normally uses one byte.
Important: • Certain types of expressions can cause the height of a calculation formula to be greater than one display line. The maximum allowable height of a calculation formula is two display screens (31 dots × 2). Further input will become impossible if the height of the calculation you are inputting exceeds the allowable limit.
To insert a character or function into a calculation: Use d and e to move the cursor to the location where you want to insert the character or function and then input it. Be sure always to use the insert mode if Linear Display is selected.
Page 12
Note: • You can specify up to 14 decimal places for the recurring decimal period. If you input more than 14 decimal places, the value will be treated as a terminating decimal and not a recurring decimal. • Recurring decimal value input can be performed regardless of the Rdec setting on the setup menu.

• The data size of value to be displayed as the recurring decimal must be no larger than 99 bytes. Each value and the decimal point require one byte, and each digit of the period requires one byte.

Answer Memory (Ans) /Previous Answer Memory (PreAns) The last calculation result obtained is stored in Ans (answer) memory. The calculation result obtained prior to the last one is stored in PreAns (previous answer) memory. Displaying the result of a new calculation will move current Ans memory contents to PreAns memory and store the new calculation results in Ans memory.
Variables (A, B, C, D, E, F, X, Y) Your calculator has eight preset variables named A, B, C, D, E, F, X, and Y. You can assign values to variables and also use the variables in calculations. To assign the result of 3 + 5 to variable A 3 + 5 1t(STO)y(A) To multiply the contents of variable A by 10 Sy(A)* 10 =...
Note: • Only the quotient value of a ÷R calculation is stored in Ans memory. • Assigning the result of a remainder division calculation to a variable will assign the quotient value only. Performing the operation 5 a '(÷R) 2 !t(STO))(X) (which assigns the result of 5÷R2 to X) will assign a value of 2 to X.

• Precision is basically the same as that described under “Calculation Range and Precision”, above. • !, nPr, nCr type functions require consecutive internal calculation, which can cause accumulation of errors that occur with each calculation. • Error is cumulative and tends to be large in the vicinity of a function’s singular point and inflection point.
Page 56
Action: • Check the input values, reduce the number of digits, and try again. • When using independent memory or a variable as the argument of a function, make sure that the memory or variable value is within the allowable range for the function.
Before Assuming Malfunction of the Calculator... Perform the following steps whenever an error occurs during a calculation or when calculation results are not what you expected. If one step does not correct the problem, move on to the next step. Note that you should make separate copies of important data before performing these steps.
Perform the following operation: 19(CLR)1(Setup)=(Yes) k When I execute a function calculation, why do I get a calculation result that is completely different from older CASIO calculator models? With a Natural Textbook Display model, the argument of a function that uses parentheses must be followed by a closing parenthesis.
