Metric Conversions

See the quick reference card and the English manual reverse side.
Unit conversions can be performed in the normal mode (when not
set to binary, pental, octal, or hexadecimal), equation mode and
statistics modes.

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.

• 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

(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.

[When performing integral calculations]

Integral calculations, depending on the
integrands and subintervals included, require
longer calculation time. During calculation, “Cal-
culating!” will be displayed. To cancel calcula-
tion, press 

ª

. Note that there will be greater

integral errors when there are large fluctua-
tions in the integral values during minute shift-
ing of the integral range and for periodic func-
tions, etc., where positive and negative inte-
gral 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.

COMPLEX NUMBER CALCULATIONS

To carry out addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division using
complex numbers, press 

m3

 to select the complex number

mode.
Results of complex number calculations are expressed in two modes:

Q

• On selecting another mode, the imaginary part of any complex

number stored in the independent memory (M) will be cleared.

• A complex number expressed in rectangular coordinates with the

y-value equal to zero, or expressed in polar coordinates with the
angle equal to zero, is treated as a real number.

• Press 

∑0

 to return the complex conjugate of the speci-

fied complex number.

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.

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.), 

 (“ ” appears.), 

(“ ” appears.), 

  (“ ” appears.), 

  (“ ”,  “ ”,

“ ” and “ ” disappear.)

Note: The hexadecimal numbers A – F are entered by pressing

ß

L

÷

l

, and 

I

, and displayed

as follows:

 

ï

, B 

 

, C 

 

ó

, D 

 

ò

, E 

 

ô

, F 

 

ö

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), equation mode, or
statistics 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.

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).
*5 buffers in STAT mode and complex number mode.

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).

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, 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.

• Calculation ranges

±10

 and 0.

If the absolute value of an entry or a final or intermediate result of a
calculation is less than 10

–99

, the value is considered to be 0 in

calculations and in the display.

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
