ˆ Using the Calculator To use the data bank’s calculator function, press CAL/AC. CAL- CULATOR, the current time, and 0. appear. The calculator performs standard arithmetic calculations like any other calculator. Simply press the numbers and operators in the order they appear in the arithmetic operation. CORRECTING ENTRY ERRORS If you enter an incorrect value, press C/CE/Clear once. Then en- ter the correct value and continue your calculation. If you press an incorrect operator (+, –, ×, ÷), simply press the correct key and continue your calculation. To clear the display for a new calculation, press C/CE/Clear twice so 0. appears, then begin the new calculation. ERROR MESSAGE E (error) appears in the lower left corner when: • A calculation result exceeds 12 digits to the left of the deci- mal point. This is an overflow error (see “Estimating Calcu- lation Results” on Page 20). • You try to divide by 0. • A memory calculation exceeds 12 digits (the memory con- tents remain unchanged). 65-522.fm Page 19 Thursday, July 13, 2000 11:48 AM

If this happens, press C/CE/Clear twice to clear the display. Estimating Calculation Results If you perform an operation that results in an overflow error, you can estimate the correct result (to 12 significant digits) by fol- lowing these steps. 1. Count the number of digits displayed to the left of the deci- mal point. 2. Remove the decimal point. 3. Add as many zeros to the right of the number there were digits to the left of the decimal point. For example, if E 1.23456789012 appears, the estimated answer is 1,234,567,890,120. MEMORY CALCULATIONS To store a value in memory, first press MR/CIT$ (memory recall) then MC (memory clear) to clear the memory. Press C/CE/Clear to clear calculations. To add a value to memory, enter the number or calculation you want to add, then press M+. The data bank totals the current calculation (if one is pending) and adds that value to memory. Note: M appears to show that a value is stored in memory. To subtract a value from memory, enter the number or calcula- tion you want to subtract, then press M–. The data bank totals 65-522.fm Page 20 Thursday, July 13, 2000 11:48 AM

Use and store the data bank only in normal temperature envi- ronments. Handle the data bank carefully; do not drop it. Keep the data bank away from dust and dirt, and wipe it with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Modifying or tampering with the data bank’s internal compo- nents can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warran- ty. If your data bank is not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance. REPLACING THE BATTERY Your data bank comes with one CR2025 lithium battery for pow- er. When the display dims, the sound becomes weak or distort- ed, or the data bank does not work properly, replace the battery.
