Section 2: Registers28
Recalling a number does not remove it from the storage register. Rather, a copy of the stored number is transferred to the display—the original remains in the storage register until either: (1) a new number is stored in the same register, (2) the calculator is turned off, or (3) all nine storage registers are cleared by pressing fREG. Recalling a number from a register will cause the stack to lift unless the lift is disabled.
