to perform calculations that involve binary, octal, decimal and hexadecimal values.
You can also convert between number systems and perform logical operations.
• You cannot use scientific functions in binary, octal, decimal, and hexadecimal
calculations.
• You can use only integers in binary, octal, decimal, and hexadecimal calcula-
tions, which means that fractional values are not allowed. If you input a value
that includes a decimal part, the unit automatically cuts off the decimal part.

octal, decimal, hexadecimal) you are using, the calculator displays an error

complement of the original value.
