Operating the Calculator 139
Some keys perform only one additional operation, which may require either 2 or 8,
depending on the color in which the operation is printed on the keyboard and where it is
positioned above the key.
When you press a modifier such as 2 or 8, a 2ND or 2 indicator appears in the status
line at the bottom of the display. If you press a modifier by accident, press it again (or
press N) to cancel its effect.
