Inputting with Natural Display
Selecting Natural Display makes it possible to input and display fractions
and certain functions (

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
s
2).
Further input will become impossible if the height of the calculation you are
inputting exceeds the allowable limit.
• Nesting of functions and parentheses
is allowed. Further input will become impossible if you nest too many functions
and/or parentheses. If this happens, divide the calculation into multiple parts
and calculate each part separately.
Note:
When you press
and obtain a calculation result using Natural
Display, part of the expression you input may be cut off. If you need to view
the entire input expression again, press
and then use
B
and
C
to
scroll the input expression.
Using Values and Expressions as Arguments
(Natural Display only)
A value or an expression that you have already input can be used as the
argument of a function. After you have input
7

, for example, you can make
it the argument of

As shown above, the value or expression to the right of the cursor after

specified next. The range encompassed as the argument is everything up
to the first open parenthesis to the right, if there is one, or everything up to
the first function to the right (sin(30), Acs(–1), etc.)
This capability can be used with the following functions:

Overwrite Input Mode
(Linear Display only)
You can select either insert or overwrite as the input mode, but only while
Linear Display is selected. In the overwrite mode, text you input replaces the
text at the current cursor location. You can toggle between the insert and
