Creating a program

Here's how to go about creating a program on this calculator. Follow this series of key strokes. Each key to be pressed is indicated by [..]; for example, [MODE] means press the Mode key. An explanation appears in the (..) brackets after each key press.

• [MODE] [6] (Program Mode entered)
• [1] (Edit program)
• [1] (Program 1 selected)
• [1] (Comp run mode selected)

This takes you to the point where you can begin keying in your program. One thing to note about the display at this point is that 000, i.e. zero, programming "steps" have been used so far. This number increases for each step in the program that you add. In all there are 680 steps you can use shared between four programs.

Note also that different run modes can be selected (Comp, Cmplx, Base, SD, Reg) but Comp is the most basic one.

Note also that only four programs can be input on this calculator (labelled 1 to 4). Just select whatever number is currently free if you wish to key in a new program.

To exit from a program press [AC] or [SHIFT] [EXIT]. This takes you back to the "Edit Program" display which has P - 1234 680. The 680 in this case indicates the number of program steps remaining.

To exit back to calculator mode press [MODE] [1].
