The
Construction Master Pro
calculators have keys and functions
labeled in common building terms. Just follow the examples and
adapt the keystrokes to your specific application.
Please note that some of the following examples will not apply to
your specific calculator model. For example, the
Trig Model
(#4080)
has trigonometry functions, but does not have l, W or h
keys, or
Blocks
,
Footing
or
Drywall
functions.
It is good practice to clear your calculator (press o twice) before
beginning each problem. And remember to use the Backspace B
key to correct entries one entry at a time.
