Unit Keys
Y
Yards Key
— Enters or
converts to Yards.
E
Feet Key
— Enters or
converts to Feet as whole or
decimal numbers. Also used
with the Iand /keys for
entering Feet-Inch values
(e.g., 6E9I1/
2). Repeated presses
during conversions toggle
between Fractional and
Decimal Feet.
I
Inch Key
— Enters or
converts to Inches. Entry
can be whole or decimal
numbers. 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 denominator
(bottom value) is not
entered, the calculator's
fractional accuracy setting is
automatically used.

P
Paint
— Calculates volume
of paint, based on an
entered area and a stored
Paint Coverage per
Gallon. Finds quantity in
Gallons, Quarts or Pints
upon repeated presses.
s P
Paint Coverage
— Stores
Paint Coverage per Gallon
in Square Feet. To recall
this setting, press v P.
Default is 350 Square Feet
per Gallon.
T
Tile
— Finds the number of
tiles, based on an entered
area and a user-stored
Grout Width. Repeated
presses will scroll between
numbers of tiles for various
“standard” tile sizes (18”,
16”, 13”, 12”, 10”, 8”, 6”, 4”,
2”, 1” and 24”).
Note: Tile sizes shown in Inches, not Square Inches.
In other words, a 6 Inch tile is really 6 Inches x
6 Inches, or a 36 Square Inch tile, but it is labeled
as a 6 Inch-size.
s T a
Grout Width
– Stores
Grout Width in Inches; used
in calculating the number of
tiles. To recall this setting,
press v T. Default is 0
(no grout width).

D
Deck
— Finds the number
of boards for a deck, based
on an entered area and a
stored Board Width or
Board On-center.
Repeated presses will scroll
between numbers of boards
for various “standard” board
lengths (12’, 10’, 8’, 20’, 18’,
16’ and 14’).
s D
Board Width/O.C.
— Stores
Board Width or Board
On-center, in Inches, for
deck or fence calculations.
To recall this setting,
press v D. Default is
5-11/16 Inches.
f
Fence
— Multi-function
key that finds the number
of fence boards, number of
posts and number of
rails (2-Rail and 3-Rail)
based on an entered
distance, a stored Board
Width/O.C. and a stored
Post Spacing.
s f
Post Spacing
— Stores
Post Spacing On-center for
fence in Feet-Inches. To
recall this setting, press
v f. Default is 8 Feet.

S
Studs
— Calculates
number of studs, based
on an entered linear
distance and a stored
On-center Spacing.
Note: Automatically adds one stud to the calculated
answer to account for one on the end.
s S
On-center for Studs
—
Stores On-center spacing
for studs in Inches. To
recall this setting, press
vS. Default is 16”.
F
Flooring
— Calculates the
required length for 12’, 13’,
15’ or 6’ wide rolls, based on
an entered area. Calculates
the coverage area, in
Square yards, for each roll
width, based on the entered
length.
C F
Sheets
— Calculates the
number of 4’ x 8’, 4’ x 9’,
4’ x 10’ and 4’ x 12’ sheets,
based on entered linear
distance or area.
c
Custom Tile
— Calculates
number of tiles needed
based on an entered area
and a stored Tile Size. This
is used separately from the
regular Tile Key ( T).
Note: Calculation does not account for grout width for
custom tiles, so you will need to adjust for this.
