Getting Started
Menus, Menu Items, and Assigning Values to Menu Items
Many of the calculator's functions are located within menus. A
menu
is
a cat-
alog which permits you to select an item from a list of options. To access a
menu, press the key, or secondary-function, key combination for the menu in
which you wish to work. To exit a menu, press
O
. For example, to access
the Bond menu, press
B
. Once opened, you can scroll through the items in
the menu by pressing
<
or
>
repeatedly. When you arrive at the last
item in a menu, pressing
<
returns you to the first item. Similarly, pressing
>
once on the first menu item scrolls to the last item in the menu. Some
menus have sub-menus. If an item represents a sub-menu, pressing
I
with that menu item displayed opens the sub-menu.
Most menu items consist of two parts: a name and an associated number. For
example, the
Fixed
item in the Break-even menu is displayed in Figure 3.
Figure 3
The large (
=
) annunciator shows that the value assigned to Fixed is
120,000
.
If you perform a calculation with this item displayed by pressing
1+2=
for example,
Fixed
is still selected as the current item,
but the large (
=
) annunciator is now turned off, indicating the
3
is not the
value assigned to
Fixed
. See: Figure 4.
