Manual conventions

The following conventions are used in this manual to
represent the keys that you press and the menu options
that you choose to perform operations.

A key that initiates an unshifted function is
represented by an image of that key:

e

,

B

,

H

, etc.

A key combination that initiates a shifted unction (or
inserts a character) is represented by the appropriate
shift key (

S

or

A

) followed by the key for that

function or character:

Sh

initiates the natural exponential function

and

Az

inserts the pound character (#)

The name of the shifted function may also be given in
parentheses after the key combination:

SJ

(Clear),

SY

(Setup)

A key pressed to insert a digit is represented by that
digit:

5, 7, 8, etc.

All fixed on-screen text—such as screen and field
names—appear in bold:

CAS Settings,

XSTEP

, Decimal Mark, etc.

A menu item selected by touching the screen is
represented by an image of that item:

, , .

Note that you must use your finger to select a menu
item. Using a stylus or something similar will not
select whatever is touched.
