Calculations Using Physical Constants
A constant is recalled by pressing ß followed by the number
of the physical constant designated by a 2-digit number.
The recalled constant appears in the display mode selected
with the designated number of decimal places.
Physical constants can be recalled in the normal mode (when
not set to binary, pental, octal, or hexadecimal), statistics mode,
equation mode, matrix mode and list mode.
Note: Physical constants and metric conversions are based
either on the 2002 CODATA recommended values or
1995 Edition of the “Guide for the Use of the International
System of Units (SI)” released by NIST (National Institute
of Standards and Technology) or on ISO specifications.
