mm SCALE 1 : 1 General Guide Turning on or off To turn the calculator on, press [ ON/C ] ; To turn the calculator off, press [ 2nd ] [ OFF ]. Battery replacement The calculator is powered by two alkaline batteries (G13 or LR44). When the display dims, replace the batteries. Be careful not to be injured when you replace the battery. 1. Unscrew the screws on the back of the calculator. 2. Insert a flat bladed screwdriver into the slot between the upper and lower case then carefully twist it to separate the case. 3. Remove both batteries and dispose of them properly. Never allow children to play with batteries. 4. Wipe off the new batteries with a dry cloth to maintain good contact. 5. Insert the two new batteries with their flat sides (plus terminals) up. 6. Align the upper and lower cases then snap them to close together. 7. Tighten the screws. Auto power-off function This calculator automatically turns it off when not operated for approximately 6~9 minutes. It can be reactivated by pressing [ ON/C ] key and the display, memory, settings are retained. Reset operation If the calculator is on but you get unexpected results, press [ MODE ] [ 4 ] ( RESET ) in sequence. A message appears on the display to confirm whether you want to reset the calculator and clear memory contents. RESET : N Y Move the cursor to " Y " by [ ], then press [=] to clear all variables, pending operations, statistical data, answers, all previous entries, and memory; To cancel the reset operation without clearing the calculator, please choose " N ". If the calculator is lock and further key operations becomes impossible, please use a pointed object to press the reset hole to release the condition. It will return all settings to default settings. Contrast adjustment Pressing the [ ­ ] or [ + ] following [ MODE ] key can make the contrast of the screen lighter or darker. Holding either key down will make the display become respectively lighter or darker. -E2- File name : CBM_SR-281N_IB_English_black_v09330.doc Date: 2009/3/30 Trimmed Size : 140 x 75 mm SCALE 1 : 1 Display readout The display comprises two lines and indicators. The upper line is a dot display up to 128 characters. The lower line is capable of displaying a result of up to 12 digits, as well as 2-digits positive or negative exponent. When formulas are input and executed the calculation by [=], they are displayed on the upper line, and then results are shown on the lower line. The following indictors appear on the display to indicate you the current status of the calculator.

Use this mode to perform single­variable and paired­variable statistical calculations and regression calculations. 3 CPLX : Use this mode to perform complex number calculation. 4 RESET : Use this mode to perform reset operation. 5 ENG : Use this mode to allow engineering calculations utilizing engineering symbol. Give " 2 STAT " as an example : Method 1 : Press [ MODE ] and then scroll through the menus using ] or [ 2nd ] [ ] until " 2 STAT " is underlined, [ then enter the desired mode by pressing [=]. Method 2 : Press [ MODE ] and then key in directly the number of the mode, [ 2 ] , to enter the desired mode immediately. Using " 2nd " Keys When you press [ 2nd ], the " 2nd " indicator shown in the display is to tell you that you will be selecting the second function of the next key you press. If you press [ 2nd ] by mistake, simply press [ 2nd ] again to remove the " 2nd " indicator. Corrections If you have made a mistake when entering a number (but you have not yet pressed an arithmetic operator key), just press [ CE ] to clear the last entry then input it again, or delete individual digits by the ], or clear all entry by [ ON/C ]. backspace key [ After making corrections, input of the formula is complete, the answer can be obtained by pressing [=]. You can also press [ ON/C ] to clear the immediate results completely (except clearing memory). If you press the wrong arithmetic operation key, just press the correct key to replace it. Undo function The unit offers an undo function which allows you to undo some of the errors you just have made. When a character which is just deleted by [ ], an entry which is just " indicator cleared [ CE ], or which is just cleared by [ ON/C ], the " shown in the display is to tell you that you can press [ 2nd ] [ ] to cancel the operation. -E4- File name : CBM_SR-281N_IB_English_black_v09330.doc Date: 2009/3/30 Trimmed Size : 140 x 75 mm SCALE 1 : 1 Replay function This function stores operations that just have been executed. After ] or [ 2nd ] [ ] key will execution is completed, pressing [ display the operation executed. Pressing [ ] will display the operation from the beginning, with the cursor located under the first character. Pressing [ 2nd ] [ ] will display the operation from the end, with the cursor located at the space following the last character. ] or [ 2nd ] [ ] and You can continue moving the cursor by [ editing values or commands for subsequent execution. Memory calculation Memory variable The calculator has nine memory variables for repeated use -- A, B, C, D, E, F, M, X, Y. You can store a real number in any of the nine memory variables. · · · [ STO ] + [ A ] ~ [ F ], [ M ], [ X ] ~ [ Y ] lets you store values to variables. [ RCL ] + [ A ] ~ [ F ], [ M ], [ X ] ~ [ Y ] recalls the value of the variable. [ 0 ] [ STO ] + [ A ] ~ [ F ], [ M ], [ X ] ~ [ Y ] clears the content to a specified memory variable. (1) Put the value 30 into variable A 30 [ STO ] [ A ] DEG 30 A 30. (2) Multiple 5 to variable A, then put the result into variable B 5 [ x ] [ RCL ] [ A ] [=] DEG 5 A= 150.
