KEY DEFINITIONS Basic Functions [+] [–] [x] [÷] [=] Arithmetic Operation Keys — Used to perform arithmetic functions. [%] Percent — Four-function percent key. [0] – [9] and [ • ] Numeric Keys — Used to key numeric values. [Off] Power Off — Turns all power off. Resets the display and all non-permanent registers. [On/C] Power On/Clear — Turns on power. Pressing once clears the last entry and the display. Pressing twice in succession clears all temporary registers.
[ ] Square Root — Used to find the square root of a number. Note: Attempts to find the square root of a linear or volume dimension will cause an “Error”. [Conv] [ ] x2 — Finds the square of the displayed value. Note: Attempts to find the square of an area or volume dimension will cause an “Error”. [M+] Memory Add — Adds the displayed number to the value stored within the semipermanent Memory. [Conv] [M+] Memory Minus — Subtracts the displayed value from Memory.
Dimension Keys [Yds] Yards — This is an entry and conversion key. The entry can be a whole number or a decimal number. Used with the [Conv] key converts any other displayed dimensioned number to yards. [Feet] This is an entry and conversion key. The entry can be a whole number or decimal number. This key can also be used in conjunction with the [Inch] and [ / ] keys for entering values in FeetInch format.
[/] Fraction Bar — This key is used to enter fractions. Fractions can be entered as proper (1 or less — 1/2, 1/8, 1/16) or improper (greater than 1 — 3/2, 65/64). For example, to enter 1/2, the key sequence would be: 1 [ / ] 2. If the denominator (the bottom number) is not entered, then the set fractional level (1/16, 1/2, etc.) is used. [Rcl] [ / ] displays the current fractional setting. [Cu] Cubic — This key is used with a dimension key (feet, inches, yards, meters, etc.
[mm] Millimeters — This is an entry and conversion key used to enter or to convert to decimal millimeters (when used in conjunction with the [Conv] key). [Weight] This key is used to convert a dimensioned cubic value or volume, to a weight value using the [Conv] key and the stored Weight per Volume (see below). For example, 5 [Cu] [Yds] [Conv] [Weight] equals 7.5 tons, or 10 [Weight] (tons) [Conv] [Cu] [Yds] equals 6.666667 cubic yards.
Area/Volume Keys [Length] Enters the value for Length in dimension problems (e.g., for calculating area or volume). Note: This key is also used to enter the length for “Square-ups” and the “Run” for stair problems. [Width] Enters the value for Width in dimension problems (e.g., calculating area or volume). Note: This key is also used to enter the width for “Square-ups.” [Height] Enters the value for Height in dimension problems (e.g., for calculating volume).
Square-Up & Drop Keys [Sq-Up] Square-up — Enters or computes the “Square-Up” (or Diagonal) length based on entered Length and Width values. [Drop] Computes the total drop (or fall) over an entered Length, given an entered percentage drop or inch drop per foot value. Successive presses will act as a “constant add,” for displaying successive drops.
given an entered cross-sectional footing area (see [Conv] [Ftg]) and Length. [Conv] [Ftg] Cross-sectional Area — Used to permanently set the cross-sectional area for calculating footings. The default setting for the cross-sectional area is 1.8 square feet. To recall the stored cross-sectional area, press [Rcl] [Ftg].
“Desired Riser Height”. Undimensioned values are assumed to be inches. [Circ] Circle — Based on an entered diameter, repeated presses display the following circular values: 1) diameter, 2) area 3) circumference. [Conv] [Circ] Arc Length — Used to find the arc length based on an entered diameter and angle. For example: 1 [Inch] [Circ] 180 [Conv] [Circ] would display an Arc length of 19/16 inches for an entered diameter of 1 inch and a 180° angle.
[Conv] 7 Fraction set to “Normal Mode” (reduces to the lowest common denominator). [Conv] 9 Fraction set to “Fixed Mode” (denominator value always fixed or remains the same as fractional setting). [Conv] [ / ] Toggles the flashing fraction feature on/off. The flashing denominator reflects the current fractional setting. Additional Functions [Rcl] [ = ] Paperless Tape — Accesses the paperless tape mode. [Conv] [ ÷ ] Reciprocal — 1/x function.
[Conv] [ – ] Positive/Negative Toggle — Toggles the sign of the displayed value between positive and negative. [Conv] [ • ] Per — Allows you to compute a total material cost given a unit dimension and an entered Per Unit Cost.
OPERATING BASICS Linear Dimensions To enter dimensional values, enter the largest dimension first – feet before inches, inches before fractions. Enter fractions by entering the numerator (value above the line), pressing [ / ] and then the denominator (value below the line). Note: If no denominator is entered, the default fraction setting is used.
Square and Cubic Dimensions Square and cubic dimensions are entered in the following order: 1) Numerical Value 2) Convention – Square or Cubic 3) Unit – Meters, Yards, Feet, Inches Note: Feet–Inch format cannot be used to directly enter square or cubic values. By definition, this display format is a linear measurement. However, the area or volume can be found through simple multiplication.

Percentage Calculations The Percent [%] key is used to find a percent of a number or for working add-on, discount or division percentages. It can be used with any type of number, any dimension (feet, inch, millimeter, etc.) and convention (non-dimensioned, linear, square or cubic). Find 18% of 500 feet: 500 [Feet] [x] 18 [%] 90 FT 0 IN Add 10% for waste to 137 square feet: 137 [Sq] [Feet] [+] 10 [%] 150.
Memory Operation Whenever using the Memory Function, the following keys enable you to add, subtract, and recall values stored in memory: [M+] adds the displayed value to Memory. [Conv] [M+] subtracts the displayed value from Memory. [Rcl] [M+] recalls and displays the total value of the Memory. [Rcl] [Rcl] displays and clears the Memory as does turning off your calculator. [Conv] [Rcl] clears the value in Memory without disturbing the existing display value.

[Rcl] [Rcl] 500.
Fractional Settings When ConcreteCalc is set to its default state, it rounds fractional values to the nearest 1/16 of an inch. However, you may program your preference for six different accuracy levels and two different modes (Normal and Fixed), all of which remain in permanent memory until revised or reset.
Normal Fractional Mode The default, Normal Mode ([Conv] 7), reduces a fraction to its lowest common denominator (for example, 8/16 rounds to 1/2). If a fraction is entered having a higher fractional accuracy than the current setting, the setting will be temporarily revised to the level of accuracy of the entered value. Fixed Fractional Mode In the Fixed Mode ([Conv] 9), fractional results are displayed in the set fractional value, not reduced.
Paperless Tape Function The Paperless Tape allows you to review the last 20 entries of a calculation. To access this function, press [Rcl] [=]. To review entered values, press [Rcl] [=] to access the tape mode and then press the [+] or [–] keys to either scroll forward or backward through the entries. While in the paperless tape mode, the display will show the entered or calculated value, along with the sequence number of entry (e.g., 01, 02, 03, etc.

APPENDIX A Accuracy/Display Your calculator has an eleven digit display. This is made up of seven digits (normal display) and four digits for the fraction. In a standard calculation, each calculation is carried out internally to 10 digits and rounded to a 7-digit standard display. If the next undisplayed digit is five or more, the 5/4 rounding technique adds 1 to the least significant digit in the display. If the digit is less than five, no rounding occurs.
ranging also applies to other dimensional units such as inches to feet, feet to yards, etc. Battery & Auto Shut-Off Your calculator is powered by a single 3-Volt Lithium CR-2032 battery. This should last approximately 800 hours of actual use (1 year plus for most people). Should the display become very dim or erratic, replace the battery. Warning! Please use caution when disposing of your old batteries as they contain hazardous chemicals.
