here^Top What is the [F CUT 5/4] switch or [DEC] F, 0, 2 button for?
The
HR-8TE/HR-8TM have a [DEC] key with F, 0, 2, and 5/4 over it, while
many other calculators models have a switch labeled [F CUT 5/4].
The
button or switch can control rounding off to a certain number of decimal
places. F is floating point (no F indicator on screen), 0 rounds off to
0 places after decimal point, and 2 rounds off to 2 places after
decimal point.
The 5/4 applies to either the 0 or 2 modes, and
describes the type of rounding off that is performed. The calculator
will round down if the digit after the one you are rounding to is 4 or
lower, and round up if the digit is 5 or higher.
^Top What is the [5,4,3,2,1,0 ADD (2)] switch used for?
This switch is used to determine how many decimal places your answer is displayed in.
ADD
(2) is often used for monetary calculations, so that it is not
necessary to enter the decimal point. It is automatically placed two
decimal places from the end for cents. For example, entering 123 will
display as 1.23.
