Resetting the

Calculator

If the calculator locks up and seems to be stuck, you can reset it using a keyboard reset. Resetting cancels certain oper-

ations, restores certain conditions, and clears the temporary memory locations. It does not erase stored data, such as

variables and programs. To reset:

1. Press and hold the ON key and the third menu key from the left, F3, simultaneously for a second or two, then

release the F3

key first, followed by the ON key. If you are using an emulator, right-click the ON key to hold the

shift command and left-click the F3 key. Release the F3 key first by left-clicking, followed by the ON key.

To erase all memory and reset defaults. NOTE: this action erases everything you have stored and returns the calculator

to its default settings:

1. Press and hold the ON key, the first menu key (F1), and the last menu key (F6) simultaneously for a second or

two, then release them one at a time, starting with the F6 key. If using the emulator, perform right-clicks on all the

keys to hold them simultaneously. Right-click to release them.

2. If the calculator still does not turn on, try inserting the end of a straightened paper clip into the small hole on the

back of the calculator. Press gently for one second, then release. Press the ON key.
