About the Selectors

Function Selector

OFF: Power off.
ON: Power on.
ITEM: The total number of addition and subtraction items is printed with the result when or is pressed. The number of operations is printed with the result when is pressed.
CONVERSION: Enables currency conversion.

Decimal Mode Selector

F: Floating decimal.

3, 2, 0: Cuts off to the specified number of decimal places (3,

2, or 0) when the rightmost digit is 4 or less (0, 1, 2, 3, 4), and rounds up when it is 5 or greater (5, 6, 7, 8, 9).

ADD2: Always appends two decimal places to values.

Important

All input and calculations are rounded for addition and subtraction. For multiplication and division, the calculation is performed with values as input, and the result is rounded.

Basic Calculations

Item count (Printed in Item Mode only.)

• Before starting a new calculation, be sure to press first.
• Pressing during an addition or subtraction calculation prints the intermediate result up to that point.
• Pressing prints the result (total) and adds it to grand total memory. This also automatically clears the result, so you can start the next calculation without pressing .
• Pressing calculates the grand total. It also automatically clears grand total memory.

“PRT”, “ON”, “F”

6 ÷ 3 × 5 + 2.4 − 1 = 11.4

2 × (−3) = −6

3 × 2 = 6
4 × 2 = 8

200 × 5% = 10

300 + (300 × 5%) = 315

500 – (500 × 20%) = 400

30 = 60 × ?% ? = 50

30 + 60 = ? ? = 90
30 + 60 = 60 × ?% ? = 150

12 − 10 = ? ? = 2
12 − 10 = 10 × ?% ? = 20

• Specifying the Number of Decimal Places for Intermediate US Dollar Amounts

When you convert from one national currency to another, the calculator internally converts the original currency to US dollars. This conversion result is the “intermediate US dollar amount”. Next, the intermediate US dollar amount is converted to the target currency. The flow of the steps of the conversions will be shown on the printout.

You can specify the number of decimal places for the intermediate US dollar amount.

Example: To specify five decimal places for the intermediate US dollar amount.

Item Count

• The item number value is displayed only for addition and subtraction calculations.

• The item count restarts from 001 whenever you press and inputting another value with or .

• Pressing in the Item Mode prints the total along with the item count. Now pressing prints the average amount per item.

• Specifying the Number of Items

Inputting a value and pressing i adds up to the three least significant (rightmost) digits of the input value to the item count. If the input value includes a decimal part, the decimal part is cut off and only the integer is used.

Example: 1234 i ➝ Adds 234 to the item count.

1.23 ➝ Adds 1 to the item count.

• If you specified the number of items, it is printed on the left
