Perform calculations with these functions in the same way you would perform calculations with +-/ and *,
but press : to access the secondary function key. For example, to calculate 15

:
1. Press 15.
2. Press :h.
3. Press 3=. The results are shown Figure 9.

In RPN mode, key in the numbers first, followed by I, then press the function key. For example, for the power function
example above, in RPN press: 15I3:h.
Storing and Recalling Numbers
The calculator has ten memories available for use during calculations. These memories are numbered from 1-9 and 0. To
store a number in a memory, press :$, followed by the key representing the memory number. To recall a number
stored in a memory, press L followed by the key representing the memory number. You can use the store and recall
functions for these memories any time a number is displayed, or when you wish to enter a number.
For example, to store
15
in memory 1, press 15:$1.
To recall the number in memory 1, press L1.
You can also perform operations to numbers stored in memories. For example, press 5:$2 to store
5
in
memory 2. To add
12
to the value of memory 2, press 12:$+2. Later on, during a calculation, you can
