To install a new battery, use the following procedure: 

 

1.  With the calculator turned off, slide the battery cover off. 
2.  Remove the old battery. 
3.  Insert a new battery, with positive polarity facing outward. 
4.  Replace the battery cover. 

 Be careful not to press any keys while the battery is out of the calculator. If 

you do so, the contents of Continuous Memory may be lost and keyboard control 
may be lost (that is, the calculator may not respond to keystrokes). 

5.  Replace the battery compartment cover and press ; to turn on the power. 

If for any reason Continuous Memory has been reset (that is, if its contents 
have been lost), the display will show Pr Error. Pressing any key will clear 
this message. 

If it appears that the calculator will not turn on or otherwise is not operating 
properly, use one of the following procedures.

1.  With the calculator off, hold down the ; key and press §. 
2. Release the ; key, then release the § key. This initiates a complete test of 

the calculator’s electronic circuitry. If everything is working correctly, within 
about 25 seconds (during which the word running flashes) the display 
should show –8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8, and all of the status indicators (except
