series of calculations and is particularly useful for confirming a series 
of “chain” calculations.

1. Tap the Menu icon  .
2. Tap Options, and then tap Recent Calculations.Clears the last number you entered. Use this 
button if you make a mistake while entering a 
number in the middle of a calculation. This button 
enables you to re-enter the number without 
starting the calculation over.

begin a fresh calculation.

and positive value. If you want to enter a negative 
number, enter the number first and then press the 
+/- button.

new number you enter with the M+ button is 
added to the total already stored in memory. The 
number that you add can be either a calculated 
value or any number you enter by pressing the 
number buttons. Pressing this button has no 
effect on the current calculation (or series of 
calculations); it merely places the value into 
memory until it is recalled.

it in the current calculation.

memory.

Tip:A quick way to create a new Expense item is to make sure that 
no Expense item is selected in the Expense List, write the first

amount of the Expense item. This technique takes advantage 
of the automatic fill feature. See “Options menu” later in this 
chapter for details.
