SLIDE SWITCH FEATURES
This section illustrates and describes the mode switches you can use to control your
calculator’s operation.
1. A F 0 2 3 4 Decimal Point Selector
A Monetary Add Mode: At this setting, amounts entered are assumed to
be monetary. The calculator automatically supplies a decimal point to
the left of the last two digits entered. Use this setting to add, subtract,
multiply and divide decimals.
Units/price mode operation:
Multiplication: The first factor will be entered as a whole number and the
second factor will have a decimal point supplied to the left of the last two
digits.
Division: The first factor will have a decimal point supplied to the left of
the last two digits and the second factor will be entered as a whole
number.
F Floating decimal point mode; this setting specifies that all digits of the
result be shown up to a maximum of 12 digits. If the result exceeds
these capacities, excess digits to the right of the decimal point are
dropped. No rounding takes place.
0,2,3,4
Fixed decimal point mode; these settings specify the number of digits to
the right of the decimal point that are shown in the result.

of 0 to 4, the digit is unchanged. If the last digit of the result that will be
printed or printed/displayed upon rounding is followed by a value of 5 to
