QUICK START GUIDE

fx-991EX

www.casioeducation.com

The 

fx-991EX

 “ClassWiz” features a high-resolution  

display, making it easier to view formulas and symbols.

This remarkable screen can display between 2-6 times 
as many characters as other scientific calculators, yet 
still runs on solar power. 

 
 

Use the

 

W

 

key to turn the calculator on, and press 

qC

(OFF) 

to power the unit down.

The icon-based menu, accessible via the

 

p

 key,

  

allows easy navigation of features using the arrow keys 
and the number keys or the

 

Q

 shortcuts.

The 

o

 

key can be used like Backspace in a word  

processor to delete the character(s) left of the cursor.

The symbols printed on the keys use Natural Textbook  
Display™ notation, similar to that found in textbooks. 
This makes input of expressions fast and easy.

The

 

n

 key toggles your calculation results between 

Standard (exact) and Decimal forms.
