ENTERING, DISPLAYING, AND EDITING THE EQUATION 1
The WriteView Editor
Entry and display
In the WriteView editor, you can
enter and display fractions or certain
functions as you would write them.
Notes:
• The WriteView editor can only be
used in NORMAL mode.
• If the equation grows too large, it may extend off the edge of the
display after you obtain the result. If you want to see the entire
equation, press l or r to return to the editing screen.
Displaying calculation results
When possible, calculation results will be displayed using
fractions,
r, and π
. When you press U, the display will cycle
through the following display styles:
• Mixed fractions (with or without π ) improper fractions (with
or without
π
) decimal numbers
• Proper fractions (with or without
π
) decimal numbers
• Irrational numbers (square roots, fractions made using square
roots) decimal numbers
Notes:
• In the following cases, calculation results may be displayed
using r:
• Arithmetic operations and memory calculations
• Trigonometric calculations
• In trigonometric calculations, when
entering values such as those in
the table to the right, results may be
shown using
r.
• Calculation results may extend off
the edges of the screen. You can
see those parts by pressing l
or r (depending on whether the left or right portion is
hidden).
• Improper/proper fractions will be converted to and displayed as
decimal numbers if the number of digits used in their expression
is greater than nine. In the case of mixed fractions, the maximum
number of displayable digits (including integers) is eight.
• If the number of digits in the denominator of a fractional result
that uses π is greater than three, the result is converted to and
displayed as a decimal number.
The Line Editor
Entry and display
In the Line editor, you can enter and
display equations line by line.
Notes:
• Up to three lines of text may be
viewed on the screen at one time.
• If the length of the equation exceeds three lines, parts of it may
be hidden from view after calculation. If you want to see the
rest of the equation, press l or r to return to the editing
screen.
• In the Line editor, calculation results are displayed in decimal
form.
Editing the Equation
Just after obtaining an answer, pressing l brings you to
the end of the equation and pressing r brings you to the
beginning. Press l, r, u, or d to move the
cursor. Press @ l or @ r to jump the cursor to the
beginning or the end of the equation.
In the WriteView editor, you can use u and d to move the
cursor up and down—between the numerator and denominator,
for example.
Back space and delete key
To delete a number or function, move the cursor to the right of it,
then press N. You can also delete a number or function that
the cursor is directly over by pressing @ y.
Multi-line Playback Function 2
This calculator is equipped with a function to recall previous
equations and answers in NORMAL mode. A maximum of 340
characters can be stored in memory. When the memory is full,
stored equations will be deleted to make room, starting with the
oldest.
Pressing u will display the previous equation. Further
pressing u will display preceding equations (after returning to
the previous equation, press d to view equations in order). In
addition, @ u can be used to jump to the oldest equation,
and @ d to jump to the newest one.
• To edit an equation after recalling it, press l or r.
• The multi-line memory will be cleared by the following operations:
@ Z , mode change, RESET, N-base conversion,
angular unit conversion, editor change (J 2 0 or
J 2 1), and memory clear (@ P 1 0).
• Equations that have one result require an additional eleven
characters’ worth of memory to store in order to hold the result.
• In addition to the amount of memory needed to store an
equation, the WriteView editor will require a certain amount for
the sake of display.
• Equations also include calculation ending instructions, such as
“ = ”.

• Two x ´ values from a quadratic regression calculation in
STAT mode: X memory (1:), Y memory (2:)
• Use of t or ; will recall the value stored in memory
using up to 14 digits.
Defi nable memories (D1–D4)
You can store functions or operations in defi nable memories
(D1–D4).
• To store a function or operation, press x, followed by
a defi nable memory key (I, J, K, or L),
followed by the operation you want to store. Menu-related
operations, such as J, cannot be stored. Press j to
return to the previous display.
• To call a stored function or operation, press the
corresponding memory key. Calling a stored function will do
nothing if the function that is called would be unusable in the
current context.
• Any functions or operations that are stored in a defi nable
memory will be replaced when you save a new one into that
memory.
• When displaying and correcting a data set in STAT mode,
you cannot store functions or operations in defi nable
memories.
Chain Calculations 9
The previous calculation result can be used in the subsequent
calculation. However, it cannot be recalled after entering
multiple instructions.
Fraction Calculations 10
Arithmetic operations and memory calculations can be
performed using fractions. In NORMAL mode, conversion
between a decimal number and a fraction can be performed
by pressing U.
Notes:
• Improper/proper fractions will be converted to and displayed
as decimal numbers if the number of digits used in their
expression is greater than nine. In the case of mixed
fractions, the maximum number of displayable digits
(including integers) is eight.
• To convert a sexagesimal value to a fraction, fi rst convert it
by pressing @ :.
Binary, Pental, Octal, Decimal, and Hexadecimal
Operations (N-base)
11
Conversions can be performed between N-base numbers
in NORMAL mode. 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 with the following keys:
@ z (“BIN” appears), @ r (“PEN” appears),
@ g (“OCT” appears), @ h (“HEX” appears),
@ / (“BIN”, “PEN”, “OCT”, and “HEX” disappear)
Note: The hexadecimal numbers A–F are entered by pressing
m A , * B , A C , l D , i E , and H F .
In the binary, pental, octal, and hexadecimal systems,
fractional parts cannot be entered. When a decimal number
having a fractional part is converted into a binary, pental,
octal, or hexadecimal 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 numbers are displayed as
a complement.
Time, Decimal, and Sexagesimal Calculations 12
Conversion between decimal and sexagesimal numbers can be
performed. In addition, the four basic arithmetic operations and
memory calculations can be performed using the sexagesimal
system. Notation for sexagesimal is as follows:
Coordinate Conversions 13
• Before performing a calculation, select the angular unit.
• The calculation result is automatically stored in the X and Y
memories ( r or x in X memory, and θ or y in Y memory).
• The results of coordinate conversions will be displayed as
decimal numbers even in the WriteView editor.
Rectangular coord. Polar coord.
Modify Function 14
Decimal calculation results are internally obtained in scientifi c
notation, with up to 14 digits in the mantissa. However, since
calculation results are displayed in the form designated by the
display notation and the number of decimal places indicated,
the internal calculation result may differ from that shown in the
display. By using the modify function (@ n), the internal
value is converted to match that of the display, so that the
displayed value can be used without change in subsequent
operations.
• When using the WriteView editor, if the calculation result is
displayed using fractions or irrational numbers, press U
to convert it to decimal form fi rst.
STATISTICAL CALCULATIONS
Statistical calculations can be performed in STAT mode.
There are eight sub-modes within STAT mode. Press b
1, then press the number key that corresponds to your
choice:

An error will occur if an operation exceeds the calculation ranges,
or if a mathematically illegal operation is attempted. When an error
occurs, pressing l or r automatically moves the cursor
back to the place in the equation where the error occurred. Edit
the equation or press j to clear the equation.
Error codes and error types
ERROR 01: Syntax error
• An attempt was made to perform an invalid operation.
Ex. 2 + & 5 =
ERROR 02: Calculation error
• The absolute value of an intermediate or fi nal calculation
result equals or exceeds 10 100 .
• An attempt was made to divide by zero (or an intermediate
calculation resulted in zero).
• The calculation ranges were exceeded while performing
calculations.
ERROR 03: Nesting error
• The available number of buffers was exceeded. (There are
10 buffers for numeric values and 64 buffers for calculation
instructions).
ERROR 04: Data over
• Data items exceeded 100 in STAT mode.
Alert Messages 18
Cannot delete!
• The selected item cannot be deleted by pressing N or
@ y in the WriteView editor.
Ex. * 5 r A l N
In this example, delete the exponent before attempting to
delete the parentheses.
Cannot call!
• The function or operation stored in defi nable memory (D1 to
D4) cannot be called.
Ex. An attempt was made to recall a statistical variable from
within NORMAL mode.
Buffer full!
• The equation (including any calculation ending instructions)
exceeded its maximum input buffer (159 characters in the
WriteView editor or 161 characters in the Line editor). An
equation may not exceed its maximum input buffer.
Calculation Ranges 19
• Within the ranges specifi ed, this calculator is accurate to
± 1 of the 10th 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, xr, n!, e x , ln, etc., where continuous calculations
are performed internally.)
Additionally, a calculation error will accumulate and
become larger in the vicinity of infl ection points and
singular points of functions.
• Calculation ranges
± 10 −99 to ± 9.999999999 × 10 99 and 0.
If the absolute value of an entry or a fi nal or intermediate
result of a calculation is less than 10
−99 , the value is
considered to be 0 in calculations and in the display.
Display of results using r
Calculation results may be displayed using r when all of the
following conditions are met:
• When intermediate and fi nal calculation results are displayed
in the following form:
± a P b ⎯
e
± c P d ⎯
f
• When each coeffi cient falls into the following ranges:
1 ≤ a < 100; 1 < b < 1,000; 0 ≤ c < 100;
1 ≤ d < 1,000; 1 ≤ e < 100; 1 ≤ f < 100
• When the number of terms in the intermediate and fi nal
calculation results is one or two.
Note: The result of two fractional terms that include r will be
reduced to a common denominator.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Notes on Battery Replacement
Improper handling of batteries can cause electrolyte leakage or
