FAQs

Does the calculator come with a battery?

The calculator operates on solar power and a battery. A battery is typically not included and may need to be purchased separately.

How do I use the memory functions (M+, M-, MRC)?

M+ adds the current display value to memory. M- subtracts the current display value from memory. MRC recalls the value stored in memory and clears it on the second press.

Can the display be tilted?

Yes, the 8-digit LCD display can be turned and tilted into four different positions for better viewing.

What is key rollover?

Key rollover is a feature that buffers your keystrokes, allowing you to press keys faster without losing any input.

How do I perform a percentage calculation?

Enter the first number, press the '%' key, and then enter the second number and the desired operation (+, -, etc.) to calculate the percentage.

What does 'auto power off' mean?

The calculator automatically shuts down after a period of inactivity to conserve battery power.
