Recall Key
— Used with
other keys to
recall
stored
values and settings.
µ
Memory Key
— Adds the
displayed value to Memory.
Clears when the calculator
is shut off.
Ç µ
Memory Minus (M–)
—
Subtracts the displayed
value from Memory.
Ç ®

— Clears
Memory and displays
Memory Total.
Dimension Keys
y
Yards Key
— Enters or
converts to
Yards
.
f
Feet Key
— Enters or con-
verts to
Feet
as whole or
decimal numbers. Also
used with the iand /
keys for entering Feet-Inch
values (e.g., 6 f 9 i
1 / 2). Repeated press-
es during conversions tog-
gle between Fractional and
Decimal Feet.
POCKET REFERENCE GUIDE — 3
i
Inch Key
— Enters or con-
verts to
Inches
. Entry can
be whole or decimal num-
bers. Also used with the /
key for entering fractional
inch values (e.g., 9 i 1
/ 2). Repeated presses
during conversions toggle
between Fractional and
Decimal Inches.
/
Fraction Bar Key
— Used
to enter
Fractions
. Fractions
can be entered as proper
(1/2, 1/8, 1/16) or improper
(3/2, 9/8). If the denomina-
tor (bottom) is not entered,
the calculator's fractional
accuracy setting is auto-
matically used.
m
Meters Key
— Enters or
converts to
Meters
.
c
Centimeters Key
— Enters
or converts to
Centimeters
.
M
Millimeters Key
— Enters
or converts to
Millimeters
.
b
Board Feet Key
— Enters
or converts Cubic values to
Board Feet. One Board
Foot is equal to 144 Cubic
Inches.
POCKET REFERENCE GUIDE — 4
w
Weight Key
— Enters or
converts (a volume value)
to
Tons, Pounds, Metric
Tons
or
Kilograms
.
Repeated presses will cycle
through these units.
Arc/Circle Keys
C
Circle Key
— Calculates
Circle Area and
Circumference based on
entered Diameter.
Ç C
Arc
— Calculates Arc
Length or Degree based on
entered Diameter and Arc
Degree or Length (e.g., if
Arc Degree is entered, it
will calculate Arc Length,
and vice versa).
Right Triangle/Roof Framing Keys
p
Pitch Key
— This key is
used to enter or calculate
the Pitch (Slope) of a roof
(or Right Triangle). Pitch is
the amount of “Rise” over
12 Inches of “Run.” Pitch
may be entered as:
POCKET REFERENCE GUIDE — 5
a Dimension 9 i p
an Angle 3 0 p
a Ratio 0 • 7 5 Ç p
a Percentage 7 5 % p
APitch entry will remain in
permanent storage until
revised or reset. A solution
will be replaced by its
entered value once the
calculator is cleared.
Ç p Enters Pitch Ratio (e.g., •
5 8 3 Ç p).
r
Rise Key
— Enters or cal-
culates the Rise or vertical
leg (height) of a Right
Triangle.
R
Run Key
— Enters or cal-
culates the Run or horizon-
tal leg (base) of a Right
Triangle.
d
Diagonal Key
— Enters or
calculates the common or
Diagonal leg (Hypotenuse)
of a Right Triangle. Typical
applications are “squaring”
slabs or finding common
rafter lengths.
H
Hip/Valley Key
—
Calculates length of the
Regular or Irregular Hip/
Valley rafter.
POCKET REFERENCE GUIDE — 6
Ç H
Irregular Pitch
— Enters
Irregular
Pitch used to cal-
culate lengths of the
Irregular Hip/Valley and
Jack rafters.
j
Jack Key
— Calculates
Jack rafter lengths on the
Regular
-pitched roof side.
Ç j
Irregular Jack
— Calculates
Jack rafter lengths on the
Irregular
-pitched roof side.
∑
Rake-Wall Key
— Finds
the stud sizes based on
entered Right Triangle val-
ues and the stored On-
Center spacing. If a dimen-
sional value is entered
before pressing ∑, that
value is considered the
base and will be added to
the stud lengths.
