BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Notes on Battery Replacement
Improper handling of batteries can cause electrolyte leakage or
explosion. Be sure to observe the following handling rules:
• Replace both batteries at the same time.
• Do not mix new and old batteries.
• Make sure the new batteries are the correct type.
• When installing, orient each battery properly as indicated in the
calculator.
• Batteries are factory-installed before shipment, and may be
exhausted before they reach the service life stated in the speci-
fications.
Notes on erasure of memory contents
When the battery is replaced, the memory contents are erased.
Erasure can also occur if the calculator is defective or when it is
repaired. Make a note of all important memory contents in case
accidental erasure occurs.
When to Replace the Batteries
If the display has poor contrast or nothing appears on the display
even when ª is pressed in dim lighting, it is time to replace
the batteries.
Cautions
• Fluid from a leaking battery accidentally entering an eye could
result in serious injury. Should this occur, wash with clean
water and immediately consult a doctor.
• Should fluid from a leaking battery come in contact with your
skin or clothes, immediately wash with clean water.
• If the product is not to be used for some time, to avoid damage
to the unit from leaking batteries, remove them and store in a
safe place.
• Do not leave exhausted batteries inside the product.
• Do not fit partially used batteries, and be sure not to mix
batteries of different types.
• Keep batteries out of the reach of children.

Calculations Using Engineering Prefixes
Calculation can be executed in the normal mode (excluding N-
base) using the following 9 types of prefixes.
Modify Function
Calculation results are internally obtained in scientific notation
with up to 14 digits for the mantissa. However, since calculation
results are displayed in the form designated by the display nota-
tion and the number of decimal places indicated, the internal
calculation result may differ from that shown in the display. By
using the modify function, the internal value is converted to match
that of the display, so that the displayed value can be used
without change in subsequent operations.
Solver Function
The x value can be found that reduces an entered equation to “0”.
• This function uses Newton's method to obtain an approxima-
tion. Depending on the function (e.g. periodic) or start value, an
error may occur (Error 2) due to there being no convergence to
the solution for the equation.
• The value obtained by this function may include a margin of
error. If it is larger than acceptable, recalculate the solution
after changing ‘Start’ and dx values.
• Change the ‘Start’ value (e.g. to a negative value) or dx value
(e.g. to a smaller value) if:
• no solution can be found (Error 2).
• more than two solutions appear to be possible (e.g. a cubic
equation).
• to improve the arithmetic precision.
• The calculation result is automatically stored in the X memory.
[Performing Solver function]
Q Press m0 .
W Input a formula with an x variable.
E Press ∑0 .
R Input ‘Start’ value and press ®. The default value is “0”.
T Input dx value (minute interval).
Y Press ®.
SIMULATION CALCULATION (ALGB)
If you have to find a value consecutively using the same formula,
such as plotting a curve line for 2x
2
+ 1, or finding the variable for
2x + 2 y =14, once you enter the equation, all you have to do is to
specify the value for the variable in the formula.
Usable variables: A-F, M, X and Y
Unusable functions: Random function
• Simulation calculations can only be executed in the normal
mode.
•
Calculation ending instructions other than
=
cannot be used.
Performing Calculations
Q Press m0 .
W Input a formula with at least one variable.
E Press @≤ .
R Variable input screen will appear. Input the value of the flashing
variable, then press ® to confirm. The calculation result will
be displayed after entering the value for all used variables.
• Only numerical values are allowed as variables. Input of
formulas is not permitted.
• Upon completing the calculation, press @≤ to per-
form calculations using the same formula.
• Variables and numerical values stored in the memories will
be displayed in the variable input screen. To change a
numerical value, input the new value and press ® .
• Performing simulation calculation will cause memory loca-
tions to be overwritten with new values.

The following three angular units (degrees, radians, and grads) can
be specified.
• DEG ( °) : Press ”00 .
• RAD (rad)”01.
• GRAD (g) : Press ”02 .
[Selecting the Display Notation and Decimal Places]
Four display notation systems are used to display calculation re-
sults: Floating point; Fixed decimal point; Scientific notation; and
Engineering notation.
• When the FIX, SCI, or ENG symbol is displayed, the number of decimal
places (TAB) can be set to any value between 0 and 9. Displayed
values will be reduced to the corresponding number of digits.
[Setting the Floating Point Numbers System in Scientific Notation]
Two settings are used to display a floating point number: NORM1
(default setting) and NORM2. A number is automatically displayed
in scientific notation outside a preset range:
• NORM1: 0.000000001 ≤ x ≤ 9999999999
• NORM2: 0.01 ≤ x ≤ 9999999999
SCIENTIFIC CALCULATIONS
• Press m0 to select the normal mode.
• In each example, press ª to clear the display. If the FIX, SCI,
or ENG indicator is displayed, clear the indicator by selecting
‘NORM1 ’ from the SET UP menu.
Arithmetic Operations
• The closing parenthesis ) just before = or ; may be
omitted.
Constant Calculations
• In constant calculations, the addend becomes a constant. Sub-
traction and division are performed in the same manner. For
multiplication, the multiplicand becomes a constant.
• In the constants calculations, constants will be displayed as K.
Functions
• Refer to the calculation examples of each function.
• Before starting calculations, specify the angular unit.
Differential/Integral Functions
Differential and integral calculations are only available in the nor-
mal mode. For calculation conditions such as the x
value in differ-
ential calculation or the initial point in integral calculation, only
numerical values can be entered and equations such as 2
2
cannot
be specified. It is possible to reuse the same equation over and
over again and to recalculate by only changing the conditions with-
out re-entering the equation.
• Performing a calculation will clear the value in the X memory.
•
When performing a differential calculation, enter the formula first and
then enter the x value in differential calculation and the minute interval
(dx ). If a numerical value is not specified for minute interval,
x
≠0 will be
x
×10
–5
and
x
=0 will be 10
–5
from the value of the numeric derivative.
• When performing an integral calculation, enter the formula first
and then enter a range of integral (a, b ) and subintervals (n). If a
numerical value is not specified for subintervals, calculation will
be performed using n=100.
Since differential and integral calculations are performed based on
the following equations, correct results may not be obtained, in
certain rare cases, when performing special calculations that con-
tain discontinuous points.
Integral calculation (Simpson’ s rule):
S=—h{ƒ ( a )+4{ƒ(a +h )+ƒ(a +3h )+······ +ƒ (a +(N– 1)h )}
+2{ƒ(a +2h )+ƒ(a +4h )+······ +ƒ (a +(N– 2)h )}+f( b )}
Differential calculation:
[When performing integral calculations]
Integral calculations, depending on the integrands and subintervals
included,“Calculat-
ing!” will be displayed. To cancel calculation, press ª . Note that
there will be greater integral errors when there are large fluctuations in
the integral values during
minute shifting of the inte-
gral range and for periodic
functions, etc., where posi-
tive and negative integral
values exist depending on
the interval.
For the former case, divide
integral intervals as small
as possible. For the latter
case, separate the positive and negative values. Following these
tips will allow results of calculations with greater accuracy and will
also shorten the calculation time.
Random Function
The Random function has four settings for use in the normal, statis-
tics, matrix and list modes. (This function cannot be selected while
using the N-Base function.) To generate further random numbers in
succession, press ®. Press ª to exit.
• The generated pseudo-random number series is stored in memory
Y. Each random number is based on a number series.
[Random Numbers]
A pseudo-random number, with three significant digits from 0 up to
0.999, can be generated by pressing @`0® .
[Random Dice]
To simulate a die-rolling, a random integer between 1 and 6 can be
generated by pressing @`1® .
[Random Coin]
To simulate a coin flip, 0 (head) or 1 (tail) can be randomly gener-
ated by pressing @`2® .
[Random Integer]
An integer between 0 and 99 can be generated randomly by press-
ing @`3® .

Statistical Calculation Formulas
In the statistical calculation formulas, an error will occur when:
• The absolute value of the intermediate result or calculation result
is equal to or greater than 1 × 10
100
.
• The denominator is zero.
• An attempt is made to take the square root of a negative number.
• No solution exists in the quadratic regression calculation.
Normal Probability Calculations
• P(t ), Q( t ), and R( t ) will always take positive values, even when
t<0, because these functions follow the same principle used
when solving for an area.
Values for P(t ), Q(t ), and R(t ) are given to six decimal places.
SIMULTANEOUS LINEAR EQUATIONS
Simultaneous linear equation with two unknowns (2-VLE) or with
three unknowns (3-VLE) may be solved using this function.
Q 2-VLE: m20
W 3-VLE: m21
• If the determinant D = 0, an error occurs.
• If the absolute value of an intermediate result or calculation result
is 1 × 10
100
or more, an error occurs.
• Coefficients ( a
1
, etc.) can be entered using ordinary arithmetic
operations.
• To clear the entered coefficients, press @c .

In the binary, pental, octal, and hexadecimal systems, fractional
parts cannot be entered. When a decimal number having a frac-
tional part is converted into a binary, pental, octal, or hexadeci-
mal number, the fractional part will be truncated. Likewise, when
the result of a binary, pental, octal, or hexadecimal calculation
includes a fractional part, the fractional part will be truncated. In
the binary, pental, octal, and hexadecimal systems, negative num-
bers are displayed as a complement.
Time, Decimal and Sexagesimal Calculations
Conversion between decimal and sexagesimal numbers can be
performed, and, while using sexagesimal numbers, conversion to
seconds and minutes notation. The four basic arithmetic opera-
tions and memory calculations can be performed using the
sexagesimal system. Notation for sexagesimal is as follows:
Coordinate Conversions
• Before performing a calculation, select the angular unit.
• The calculation result is automatically stored in memories X
and Y.
• Value of r or x: X memory • Value of θ or y : Y memory
Calculations Using Physical Constants
See the quick reference card and the English manual reverse side.
A constant is recalled by pressing ß followed by the number
of the physical constant designated by a 2-digit number.
The recalled constant appears in the display mode selected with
the designated number of decimal places.
Physical constants can be recalled in the normal mode (when not
set to binary, pental, octal, or hexadecimal), statistics mode, equa-
tion mode, matrix mode and list mode.
Note: Physical constants and metric conversions are based either
on the 2002 CODATA recommended values or 1995 Edi-
tion of the “ Guide for the Use of the International System of
Units (SI)” released by NIST (National Institute of Stand-
ards and Technology) or on ISO specifications.
Metric Conversions

Unit conversions can be performed in the normal mode (when not
set to binary, pental, octal, or hexadecimal), statistics mode, equa-
tion mode, matrix mode and list mode.

ERROR AND CALCULATION RANGES
Errors
An error will occur if an operation exceeds the calculation ranges,
or if a mathematically illegal operation is attempted. When an error
occurs, pressing < (or > ) automatically moves the cursor
back to the place in the equation where the error occurred. Edit the
equation or press ª to clear the equation.
Error Codes and Error Types
Syntax error (Error 1):
• An attempt was made to perform an invalid operation.
Ex. 2 @{
Calculation error (Error 2):
• The absolute value of an intermediate or final calculation result equals
or exceeds 10
100
.
• An attempt was made to divide by 0 (or an intermediate calculation
resulted in zero).
• The calculation ranges were exceeded while performing calculations.
Depth error (Error 3):
• The available number of buffers was exceeded. (There are 10 buffers*
for numeric values and 24 buffers for calculation instructions in the
normal mode).
*5 buffers in other modes, and 1 buffer for Matrix/List data.
• Data items exceeded 100 in the statistics mode.
Equation too long (Error 4):
• The equation exceeded its maximum input buffer (142 characters).
An equation must be shorter than 142 characters.
Equation recall error (Error 5):
• The stored equation contains a function not available in the mode
used to recall the equation. For example, if a numerical value with
numbers other than 0 and 1 is stored as a decimal, etc., it cannot be
recalled when the calculator is set to binary.
Memory over error (Error 6):
• Equation exceeded the formula memory buffer (256 characters in total
in F1 - F4).
Invalid error (Error 7):
• Matrix definition error or entering an invalid value.
Dimension error (Error 8):
• Matrix/list dimensions inconsistent while calculation.
Invalid DIM error (Error 9):
• Size of matrix/list exceeds calculation range.
No define error (Error 10):
• Undefined matrix/list used in calculation.
Calculation Ranges
• Within the ranges specified, this calculator is accurate to ±1
of the least significant digit of the mantissa. However, a
calculation error increases in continuous calculations due
to accumulation of each calculation error. (This is the same
for y
x
,
x
¿
,
e
x
,
ln
,
Matrix/List calculations, etc., where con-
tinuous calculations are performed internally.)
Additionally, a calculation error will accumulate and become
larger in the vicinity of inflection points and singular points
of functions.
