Power On/Off

To turn your calculator on, press

[On/C]. To turn it off, press [Off]. If the

calculator is already on, a single press

of [On/C] clears the last entry; a double

press clears all temporary values. If left

on more than 12 minutes without activ-

ity, the auto–save feature shuts the cal-

culator off, however, all memory values

are preserved.

Note: If the timer/stopwatch is running, the

automatic shutdown is disabled.

Display

Your GradeMatic 4000 has a 10–digit

internal accuracy and uses a standard

5/4 rounding technique for an accurate

8–digit display.

Full Reset/All Clear

Clears all values from memory and

resets all settings to defaults. See

Table 1 for a list of circumstances

under which you may want to per-

form a full reset.

Note: If you do not want to lose specific set-

tings or values, have them written some-

where so you can re-enter them after a full

reset.

Battery Information

GradeMatic 4000 is powered by a sin-

gle 3-Volt Lithium CR-2032 battery. If

the display becomes weak or erratic,

replace the battery.

Note: Just as a full reset ([Set] [x]) clears all

settings and values, so does changing the

battery. See Table 1 for a list of values and

settings that are deleted from memory when

the battery is changed.
