KEY DEFINTIONS / FUNCTIONS
BASIC FUNCTION KEYS
Arithmetic
operation keys.
0—9Keys used for entering
and numbers.
Percent Key: Four-function (+, –, x, ÷) percent key.
O Key: Turns all power o, clearing all non-
permanent registers.
On/Clear Key: Turns on power. Pressing once
clears the display. Pressing twice clears all
temporary values.
Convert Key: Used with the dimensional keys to
convert between dimensions or with other keys
to access special functions.
Square Root Key: Used to find the Square Root
of a non-dimensional or area value.
Recall Key: Used with other keys to recall stored
values and settings.
Memory Key: Adds the displayed value to
Memory. Clears when the calculator is shut o.

Memory Minus (M–): Subtracts the
displayed value from Memory.
Memory Clear : Clears Memory without
changing current display.
Memory Clear : Clears Memory and
displays Memory Total.
DIMENSION KEYS
Yards Key: Enters or converts to Yards.
Feet Key: Enters or converts to Feet as whole or
decimal numbers. Also used with the Inch and
/keys for entering Feet-Inch values (e.g.,
2 Feet 8 Inch 1 /2 ). Repeated presses
during conversions toggle between Fractional
and Decimal Feet.
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., 6 Inch 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) is not
entered, the calculator's fractional accuracy setting
is automatically used.

Meters Key: Enters or converts to Meters.
Centimeters Key: Enters or converts to
Centimeters.
Millimeters Key: Enters or converts
to Millimeters.
Board Feet (Bd Ft): Enters or converts Cubic
values to Board Feet. One Board Foot is equal
to 144 Cubic Inches.
Weight Key: Enters or converts (a volume
value) to Tons, Pounds, Metric Tons or
Kilograms. Repeated presses will cycle
through these units.
ARC/CIRCLE KEYS
Circle Key: Calculates Circle Area and
Circumference based on entered Diameter.
Arc: Calculates Arc Length or Degree
based on entered Diameter and Arc
Degree or Length (e.g., if Arc Degree
is entered, it will calculate Arc Length,
and vice versa).

RIGHT TRIANGLE/ROOF FRAMING KEYS
Pitch Key: This key is used to enter or
calculate the Pitch (Slope) of a roof (or Right
Triangle). Pitch is the amount of “Rise” over
12 Inches of “Run.” Pitch may be entered as:
a Dimension 8 Inch Pitch
an Angle 3 0 Pitch
a Ratio 0 • 7 5 Conv Pitch
a Percentage 7 5 %Pitch
A Pitch entry will remain in permanent storage until
revised or reset. A solution will be replaced by its entered
value once the calculator is cleared.
Enters Pitch Ratio (e.g., •5 8 3
Conv Pitch ).
Rise Key: Enters or calculates the Rise or
vertical leg (height) of a Right Triangle.
Run Key: Enters or calculates the Run or
horizontal leg (base) of a Right Triangle.
Diagonal Key: Enters or calculates the
common or Diagonal leg (Hypotenuse) of
a Right Triangle. Typical applications are
“squaring” slabs or finding common
rafter lengths.
Hip/Valley Key: Calculates length of the
Regular or Irregular Hip/Valley rafter.

Irregular Pitch: Enters Irregular Pitch
used to calculate lengths of the
Irregular Hip/Valley and Jack rafters.
Jack Key: Calculates Jack rafter lengths on
the Regular-pitched roof side.
Irregular Jack: Calculates Jack rafter
lengths on the Irregular-pitched
roof side.
Rake-Wall Key: Finds the stud sizes based
on entered Right Triangle values and the
stored On-Center spacing. If a dimensional
value is entered before pressing R/Wall ,
that value is considered the base and will be
added to the stud lengths.
