Variables (Alpha Memory)
This calculator comes with 28 variables as standard. You can use variables to store values you
want to use inside of calculations. Variables are identified by single-letter names, which are
made up of the 26 letters of the alphabet, plus
r
and
Q
. The maximum size of values that you
can assign to variables is 15 digits for the mantissa and 2 digits for the exponent.
• Variable contents are retained even when you turn power off.
