    To turn on the CASIO fx-85GT calculator, press the blue ON button. To turn it off, press SHIFT and then AC. Basic arithmetic operations use the +, -, ×, ÷ keys. Press MODE 1 to choose COMP mode and SHIFT MODE 2 to display decimals. Use AC to clear the screen and DEL to remove mistakes. Press SHIFT before function keys in brown/green/yellow. The memory function stores intermediate values using RCL and M+ keys. As an example, calculations can be stored in memory or the last answer using Ans to recall results.

    Basic guidance for session 1 in getting started with using the

    CASIO fx-85GT calculator

    To turn on the CASIO fx-85GT calculator, press the blue button in the top right-hand corner
    marked ON.

    To turn off the CASIO fx-85GT calculator, press SHIFT (the blue button in the top left-hand
    corner) followed by the AC key (the right most key of the two orange buttons).

    For basic arithmetic we need to use the +, -, ×, ÷, = keys. These keys can all be found in the
    bottom right-hand corner of the CASIO fx-85GT calculator. The number keys are in the
    bottom left-hand corner. The “(” and “)” keys are in the middle of the calculator.

    For simple calculations using CASIO fx-85GT, press MODE 1 to choose COMP from the
    menu list, then press SHIFT MODE 2 to choose Line10 (to make numbers display with
    decimals). The MODE key is next to the ON button.

    To clear the screen, use the AC button. Use the orange DEL button to remove a mistaken
    entry.

    Use the SHIFT function key if function required is in brown/green/yellow above the key.

    When doing more complex calculations, it is likely that you will need to use the memory
    function to hold the intermediate value of the calculation.

    As a simple example, on CASIO fx-85GT, to use memory to calculate


     43  37   181  64  
    key in:
    4 3  3 7 SHIFT RCL M+
    to store this value (1591) in memory (i.e. using the STO function in brown/green/yellow
    above the RCL key).
    Then key in:
    1 8 1 - 6 4 + RCL M+ =
    Your calculator should then report the answer as “1708”.
    Note: The RCL key is 4 keys underneath the SHIFT key, while the M+ key is 4 keys
    underneath the ON key.

    To clear this number (1708) from your calculator’s memory simply store the number zero in
    the memory by keying in:
    0 SHIFT RCL M+

    The CASIO fx-85GT calculator will also remember the result from the last time you pressed
    the = key in your last calculation. To recall this result you press the Ans key, located on the
    bottom row next to the = key. This means that, if you do the calculations above without any
    intermediate calculation, you can more simply key in:
    4 3  3 7 =
    to store this value (1591) temporarily in Ans memory.

    Then key in:


    1 8 1 - 6 4 + Ans =
    Your calculator should then report the same answer as before, i.e. “1708”.

    Note: Further calculator guidance is provided in the solutions to some of the questions in
    sessions 3 and 4 of the online interactive self-assessment (for using powers, roots, standard
    form, logarithms and inverse logarithms keys). The study notes for Basic Statistics for PHP,
    Statistics for EPH (STEPH) and Statistics with Computing also have sections, with examples,
    on using the calculator.
