Highly accurate calculation of numerals with 8 effec- tive digits can be performed. Calculation of complicated functions can be promptly performed — trigonometrical, inverse trigonometrical, logarithm, power, root, cubic, factorial, constant 7, conversion of sexagesimal notation into decimal notation, and vice versa, and conversion of rectangular, co-ordinates into polar co-ordinates, and vice-versa Various conversion calculations are made by depress ing keys simply.

Clear Indicator Key: Used for correcting numeric entries. F Key: Used when instruction to execute function calculations (Functions written on key top are excluded) and instruction to execute conversion of unit systems are set and when the first memory is called out and cleared, and the second memory is called out. Instruction set by a@ key is released by depressing the key but in case of unit systesm alone, instruction is continued until two keys for converted unit and unit system are depressed, Sign Change Key: Used for converting signs of the indicated value, However signs in the exponential part are only converted after the depression of the Exponential key Exponential Key: Used for designating the ex- ponential part of the input value. Multiplication Key: Used for performing multiplica- tion. ision Key: Used for performing division, Minus Key: Used for performing subtraction, Plus Key: Used for performing addition, Equal Key: Used for obtaining calculating results. Open Parenthesis Key: Used for performing calcula- tions according to its expression. Used as an open parenthesis when parenthesis function is required. Closed Parenthesis Key: Used for performing calcul: tions according to its expression. Used as a closed parenthesis when parenthesis function is required Fraction Key: Used for inputting data by fraction expression, Plus-Memory Key: Used for adding the displayed umorals to the first memory. Total Recall Memory Key: Used for recalling the Content of the first memory and clear it, together with i key.G Store Memory Key: Used for storing the displayed fumerals in the second memory. Recall Memory Key: Used for recalling the content of the second memory, together with E@ key. Before Calculation 1, Slide the power switch to ON. 2. Slide the switch to any necessary mode: “ig when ‘performing calculations dealing with degrees. 3. As all registers are cleared when the power switch is ‘ON, Palmtronic is ready for immediate use. 4. When incorrect entries are made, depress the El key to make correct entries and continue the operation. 5. Depress the fi key when the next calculation is performed without depressing the aa key. © Clesr the first memory before starting calculation when itis used. 7. Please keep in mind that accurate results depend on correct key operation. How to Input Numerals 1. Input numerals as they are written on paper when numerals within 8 digits including decimal points are input. When numerals are negative, input the numerals and depress the Ea key afterwards.

How to Use the m Key Each function written on the top of the keys may be operated and executed by one touch but other functions written above the keys are made to execute and select Instructions by the M@ key. For example, in @ key, Sin function works when it is operated by one touch and when the #@ key is depressed, Sin“! function works. Example: When Sin 30” has to be found, —+ operation 30 When Sin 0.5 has to be found, — operation 0.5 a aif To offer a maximum function with minimum keys, the Gi Key is provided as so-called second function.Fundamental in Using Operation example cmiteson | Fanston | _Onwaonseoctie caaiee = lr ratte coment ot [TAM | gy (aparormmom) ||| sin'0.5 ao as ' Iman neon , a a s ® % Function ese by | sr c08", 2 | orveaietout | taps aee Hl oo 15 Reg, (=2.4662121) s us, Funaionswanetny | eOLReC | CHRBELaSuCT a @ 2.466212), 3 | sowrmicino =. = ; ae?

Insert the battery pack into the Palmtronic so that the metallic part of the battery pack will contact to that of the Palmtronic. 2. When removing, pull out the battery pack while pushing down the latch of the battery pack. Be careful that the metallic part of the pack will ot touch any other metal = For charging the NiCd battery pack, please refer to the instruction manual of the Canon Palmtronic Charger II Dry Battery Cassette 1. Load the dry battery cassette with four new penlight dry batteries {size AA). When loading the batteries, first lay the black tape which comes attached with the cassette, on the bottom and then put the batteries from the (-) side according to the diagram inside. The Palmtronic will not operate if the batteries are placed upside down. 2. Load the dry battery cassette into the battery cham- ber of the Palmtronic. ‘ 8, When changing the dry batteries, take them out while holding the latch of the cassette. Change all of the four batteries ‘at the same time. The dry batteries can be easily taken out by pulling the black tape of the cassette.Specifications Type: “Palmtronic” (miniaturized) electronic. calculator with function keys.
