CALC 1 uses multiple calculators so each calculator has the most important keys for that task on the top row.
Each Focused Calculator has a different set of keys on the top row, with the SHIFT, STO and RCL keys related to the keys on the top row. Each Focused Calculator has it's own documentation.
The index of all Focused Calculators can be found here.
The top row of the Formula Calculators are for a single formula. The top left key (under the CALC 1 button) evaluates that formula. The other keys on the top row are for storing the parameter values.
The index of all Formula Calculators can be found here.
See the Formula Calculators General Help for details.
Form Calculators let you view all of the values and labels at once. They share values with their corresponding Focused Calculators so you can easily switch between them without having to re enter values.
The index of all Form Calculators can be found here.
For the TVM calculators and all Formula Calculations the value that is stored, recalled or calculated is displayed on the key under the label. Also tapping the STO or RCL key will display the value for the storage variable.
To help you with the hundreds of solutions CALC 1 provides, there are hints for every key.
To see a key's function, touch and hold the key and a hint will appear in the display. Drag your finger completely off the key if don't want to execute the command, otherwise just lift your finger and the command will be executed.
If you make a mistake you can undo the last command. You can press the RCL key, located at the bottom left corner, and if there is an undo action available, you will see it on the wide x() (ENTER in RPN mode) key. Press the STO key for a redo action if available.
