3.1. Arithmetic Calculations

Perform basic arithmetic operations using the number keys and the +, -, ×, na ÷ igodo. Pịa = iji gosi nsonaazụ.

• ExampLe: To calculate 15 + 7: Press 1 5 + 7 =. Ngosipụta ga-egosi 22.

3.2. Clear Functions

• Pịa CE to clear the last entered number or operation.
• Pịa ON/C to clear all entries and reset the calculator to its initial state (except memory).

4. Scientific Functions

The calculator provides 131 built-in functions. Many keys have secondary functions, accessed by pressing the 2nd F key before the desired function key.

4.1. Trigonometric Functions

Jiri mmehie, cos, tan for standard trigonometric calculations. Their inverse functions (mmehie^-1, cos^-1, tan^-1) are accessed via 2nd F.

The angle unit can be changed using the DRG igodo. Pịa DRG repeatedly to cycle through DEG (degrees), RAD (radians), and GRAD (gradients).

4.2. Logarithmic and Exponential Functions

• Logarithms: Jiri ndekọ (isi 10) na ln (logarithm eke).
• Exponentials: Jiri 10^x (accessed via 2nd F na ndekọ) na e^x (accessed via 2nd F na ln).

4.3. Powers and Roots

• Square: Jiri x².
• Mgbọrọgwụ Square: Jiri √ (accessed via 2nd F na x²).
• General Power: Jiri y^x.
• Reciprocal: Jiri 1/x (accessed via 2nd F na y^x).

4.4. Factorials

Calculate factorials using the n! function (accessed via 2nd F na CPLX).

5. Ọrụ dị elu

5.1. N-Base Calculations (HEX, DEC, BIN, OCT)

The calculator supports calculations in different number bases: hexadecimal (HEX), decimal (DEC), binary (BIN), and octal (OCT). Use the dedicated keys for these operations, typically found above the number keys (e.g., →OCT, →BIN, →DEC, →HEX).

5.2. Complex Number Calculations

To enter and perform calculations with complex numbers, switch to Complex Mode. Press CPLX to activate this mode. The display will show "CPLX".

Refer to the calculator's key markings for specific complex number operations (e.g., real and imaginary part extraction, argument, magnitude).

5.3. Statistics Functions

The calculator supports one-variable statistical calculations. To enter Statistics Mode, press STAT. The display will show "STAT".

Jiri ihe DATA CD key to clear statistical data and the M+ key to input data points. Statistical results (mean, standard deviation, etc.) can be retrieved using specific function keys, often accessed via 2nd F.

5.4. Ọrụ ebe nchekwa

The calculator has one independent memory. Use the following keys:

• M+: Adds the displayed value to the memory.
• STO: Stores the displayed value into memory.
• RCL: Recalls the value from memory to the display.

• Calculator does not turn on: Lelee ntinye batrị ma hụ na batrị anaghị agwụ. Gbanwee batrị ma ọ bụrụ na ọ dị mkpa.
• "Error" message displayed: This usually indicates an invalid operation (e.g., division by zero, taking the square root of a negative number). Press CE or ON/C to clear the error and re-enter the calculation.
• Incorrect results: Verify that the correct mode (DEG/RAD/GRAD, Normal/Stat/Complex) is selected for your calculation. Ensure all previous calculations are cleared using ON/C before starting a new one.

7.2. Resetting the Calculator

If the calculator behaves erratically or freezes, a reset may resolve the issue. Locate the Tụgharịa button (a small recessed button, often requiring a thin object like a paperclip to press) on the back or front panel. Pressing this button will clear all memory and settings, returning the calculator to its factory default state.
