Frequently Asked Questions
■ How can I perform input and display results the same way I did on
a model that does not have Natural Textbook Format?
→ Perform the following key operation:
(SETUP) (Input/Output) (LineI/LineO), or
(SETUP) (Input/Output) (LineI/DecimalO).
■ How can I change a fraction form result produced by a division
operation to decimal form?
→ While a fraction calculation result is displayed, press . To have
calculation results initially appear as decimal values, change the setup
menu Input/Output setting to MathI/DecimalO.
■ What is the difference between Ans memory, independent memory,
and variable memory?
→ Each of these types of memory acts like “containers” for temporary
storage of a single value.
Ans Memory: Stores the result of the last calculation performed. Use
this memory to carry the result of one calculation on to the next.
Independent Memory: Use this memory to totalize the results of
multiple calculations.
Variables: This memory is helpful when you need to uses the same
value multiple times in one or more calculations.
■ What is the key operation to take me from the Statistics Mode or
Table Mode to a mode where I can perform arithmetic calculations?
→ Press
(Calculate).
■ How can I return the calculator to its initial default settings?
→ Perform the following operation to initialize calculator settings (except
the Contrast setting): (RESET) (Setup Data) (Yes).
■ When I execute a function calculation, why do I get a calculation
result that is completely different from older CASIO calculator
models?
→ With a Natural Textbook Display model, the argument of a function that
uses parentheses must be followed by a closing parenthesis. Failing to
press
after the argument to close the parentheses may cause
unwanted values or expressions to be included as part of the argument.
