Instructions ^
Keys:

Two memory-registers, each has it's own keys ^

Decimal-setting key ^
e.g.: [DP]
[3] shows 3
decimals
By power-on
gives the calc. a two-decimal setting
Max. 10 decimals with [DP] [.]

Percentage-key: ^
e.g.: 33 = ?% from 40
33 [/%]
40
[=] 82.5

Recall-key: ^
Recalls the
last operand

3-position rounding-switch:
^
Upper pos.: Rounding off upwards
Middle pos.: Rounding off 5/4
Lower pos.: Rounding off downwards
5-position memory-mode-switch: ^
Pos. 0:
No auto-memory-mode
Pos. A:
Store result in second memory
(lower horizontal-bar-indication on most left display-tube when stored)
Pos. B:
Store first operand in first memory
(upper horizontal-bar-indication on most left display-tube when stored)
Pos. C:
Store first operand in first memory and store result in second memory
(upper and lower horizontal-bar-indication on most left display-tube when
stored)
Pos. D:
Store in second memory the number of times
first memory is approached with [M+]
and [M-]
Remarks:
This is a fine and straight
calculator, everything you need is situated
on this machine, some keys are really useful and interesting, like the [/%]-key.
The two memories with have their own keys are rather unique.
Division by zero and overflow shows a small dot on the second tube of the
display (#16),
calculations can continue after a press on the [C]-key.
