Correcting Entry Errors
If you enter an incorrect number but have not yet pressed an
operation key (such as
H
or
4
), you can correct the number
without clearing the calculation.
•
Remove the last digit or decimal point from a number you
have keyed in by pressing the backspace key
*
and then
enter the correct digit.
•
Erase the entire number by pressing
P
once, then key in
the correct number and continue with your calculation.
Note: Pressing
P
to correct a numeric entry immediately after you have
pressed an operation key clears any calculation in progress.
