ber. Subsequent numbers are handled automatically by pressing an arithmetic or basic function key (+, , %, etc.)

Financial and Interactive Functions

All entries using the financial and interactive keys are loaded automatically when you press the key identifying the entry type (n, i, Σ+, etc.) after you have entered the number.

Storing Constant Values

A constant value, whether keyed in or appearing on the display as a result of a previous calculation, may be stored in a ’special constant storage location from which it may be recalled and used in subsequent calculations. To store a constant, press STO to recall it, press RCL. A copy of the recalled number appears on the display; the original value remains in the constant storage location.
The STO feature makes it easy to—say add several numbers, store the result, and then divide the individual numbers by the stored sum without having to reenter this constant value for each iteration. The storage location is changed by writing over it with a new constant value or may be cleared by turning the power switch off then on.
A number stored with STO is not affected by computations or by data stored in other locations except when the key triggering the result is pressed during certain special operations requiring larger memory area. The affected applications are:
  Rate of Interest for Sinking Fund
  Bond Price
  Bond Yield
  Sum-of-the-Digits Depreciation
  Annual Effective Rate of Interest on Installment Loans
  Converting Add-on Interest to Effective Annual Rate
  Accrued Interest
  Discounted Note
  Accumulated Interest Between Two Points—Remaining Principal.
  Rebates on Consumer Loans (Rule of 78’s)
  Linear Regression Analysis (Trend Line)
  Discounted Cash Flow Analysis
