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.
• Exhausted batteries left in the calculator may leak and damage

the calculator.

• Explosion risk may be caused by incorrect handling.
• Do not throw batteries into a fire as they may explode.

Replacement Procedure

1. Turn the power off by pressing 

@F

.

2. Remove the two screws. (Fig. 1)
3. Slide the battery cover slightly and lift it to remove.
4. Remove the used batteries by prying them out with a ball-point

pen or other similar pointed device. (Fig. 2)

5. Install two new batteries. Make sure the “+” side is facing up.
6. Replace the cover and screws.
7. Press the RESET switch (on the back).
• Make sure that the display appears as shown below. If the

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.

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

(d

x

). 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.

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.

up to 14 digits.

Chain Calculations

• The previous calculation result can be used in the subsequent

calculation. However, it cannot be recalled after entering multiple
instructions or when the calculation result is in Matrix/List format.

• When using postfix functions (

¿

   , sin, etc.), a chain calculation is

possible even if the previous calculation result is cleared by the
use of the 

ª

 key.

Fraction Calculations

Arithmetic operations and memory calculations can be performed
using fractions, and conversion between a decimal number and a
fraction.
• If the number of digits to be displayed is greater than 10, the

number is converted to and displayed as a decimal number.

Binary, Pental, Octal, Decimal, and Hexadecimal
Operations (N-Base)

Conversions can be performed between N-base numbers. The four
basic arithmetic operations, calculations with parentheses and
memory calculations can also be performed, along with the logical
operations AND, OR, NOT, NEG, XOR and XNOR on binary, pental,
octal and hexadecimal numbers.
Conversion to each system is performed by the following keys:

  (“ ” appears.),

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.

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

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/list 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

¿

 

n!,  e

x

ln,  Matrix/List calculations, etc., where

continuous calculations are performed internally.)
Additionally, a calculation error will accumulate and become
larger in the vicinity of inflection points and singular points
of functions.
