The Play/Stop key can be used to check the currently entered number or

the end result.

22.2.3. Entering a calculation.


The operation of the calculator is very simple. In outline, enter a number,

followed by an operator, followed by a number, and so on until all the

required calculation has been entered. When you want to hear the result,

press the Enter key.


In addition, the following points should be noted:

• The normal precedence order for the four arithmetic operators can

be disregarded. The calculation will be done by the order in which

they are input.

• The calculator accumulates results, so your next mathematical

operation can use the previous result.

• The maximum number of digits that can be input in one number, is

12.

• The maximum number of digits in the result is 12.

• The least significant digit is rounded down.

22.2.4. Clearing the calculator memory.

After entering a calculation, to clear the calculator memory, press the
Cancel key. PLEXTALK will confirm that this has been done by saying

"Cleared".

NOTE: Using the Clear function, with the use of the Cancel key, will clear

the entire calculation and not just the last entered number.
