Model-specific Function and Screen Differences
This User’s Guide covers multiple different calculator models. Note that some of the functions
described here may not be available on all of the models covered by this User’s Guide. All of
the screen shots in this User’s Guide show the fx-9860G
ɉ
SD screen, and the appearance of
the screens of other models may be slightly different.

Math natural input and display
Under its initial default settings, the fx-9860G
ɉ
SD, fx-9860G
ɉ
, or fx-9860G AU PLUS
is set up to use the “Math input/output mode”, which enables natural input and display of
math expressions. This means you can input fractions, square roots, differentials, and other
expressions just as they are written. In the “Math input/output mode”, most calculation results
also are displayed using natural display.
You also can select a “Linear input/output mode” if you like, for input and display of
calculation expressions in a single line. The initial default setting of the fx-9860G
ɉ
SD, fx-

ɉ
, and fx-9860G AU PLUS input/output mode is the Math input/output mode.
The examples shown in this User’s Guide are mainly presented using the Linear input/output
mode. Note the following points if you are using an fx-9860G
