RIGHT ANGLE / FRAMING
The top row of keys provides you with built-in solutions to Right Triangles. The solutions are available in any of the linear dimensions offered on the calculator. Thus, you can solve
Right Triangles directly in Feet and Inches,
Decimal Feet, Meters, etc.
Any value of a Right Triangle can be found given two of the four variables: 1) Rise, 2)
Run, 3) Diagonal or 4) Pitch.

BATTERY
This model uses one (1) CR2016 battery
(included). This should last approximately
800 hours of actual use (1 year plus for most people). Should your calculator display become very dim or erratic, replace the battery.
While the calculator is off, turn the calculator over and use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to remove the battery holder screw located near the center at the top. With the screw removed, pull battery holder out, remove old battery, and slide new battery into holder.
The negative side of the battery should be facing you as you insert the battery holder into the calculator. Replace screw using a #1
Phillips screwdriver.
Note: Please use caution when disposing of your old batteries as they contain hazardous chemicals.
Replacement batteries are available at most discount or electronics stores. You may also call Calculated Industries at
1-775-885-4900.

If your calculator should ever “lock up,” press
