The SET UP menu
The SET UP menu enables you to change the angular unit and the display
format.
• Press @ J to display the SET UP
menu.
• Press j to exit the SET UP menu.
Determination of the angular unit
The following three angular units (degrees,
radians, and grads) can be specified.
• DEG(°) : Press @ J 0 0
• RAD (rad): Press @ J 0 1
• GRAD (g) : Press @ J 0 2
Selecting the display notation and number of decimal places
Five display notation systems are used to display calculation results: Two
settings of Floating point (NORM1 and NORM2), Fixed decimal point (FIX),
Scientific notation (SCI) and Engineering notation (ENG).
• When @ J 1 0 (FIX) or @ J 1 2 (ENG) is
pressed, ‘TAB(0-9)?’ will be displayed and the number of decimal places
(TAB) can be set to any value between 0 and 9.
• When @ J 1 1 (SCI) is pressed, ‘SIG(0-9)?’ will be dis-
played and the number of significant digits (SIG) can be set to any value
between 0 and 9. Entering 0 will set a 10-digit display.
• When a floating point number does not fit in the specified range, the
calculator will display the result using the scientific notation (exponential
notation) system. See the next section for details.
Setting the floating point numbers system in scientific
notation
The calculator has two settings for displaying a floating point number:
NORM1 (default setting) and NORM2. In each display setting, a number is
automatically displayed in scientific notation outside a preset range:
• NORM1: 0.000000001 ≤ |x| ≤ 9999999999
• NORM2: 0.01 ≤ |x| ≤ 9999999999
