About the Calculator
To use the calculator, follow these steps:
1. Press the applets key.
2. Press
L to move the cursor down next to Calculator. Then, press enter.
3. Enter the calculation. You can use the + key to add, the hyphen (-) to
subtract, * or x to multiply, or / to divide. Use e to calculate scientific
notation, and use parentheses for complex formulas. When you press =,
the calculator will show the answer to the right of the equation.
Use the following keys in calculations:
•+ to add, as in 89+91 = 180
•- (the hyphen) to subtract, as in 9-2 = 7
•* or x to multiply, as in 2*5 = 10
(If you type x, the Calculator will show *.)
•/ to divide, as in 18/2 = 9 or 100/2/10 = 5
•^ to raise a number to a power, as in 3^2 = 9
•e to calculate scientific notation, as in 10e6 = 10000000
•( and ) to group calculations in complex formulas, as in
(15*2) + 10/4 = 32.5
If you finish one calculation and start the next one with an operator (+, -, *,
etc.), Calculator starts the equation with the results of the previous
equation. This does not apply to the e operator.

calculations by hand.
