Operating the Calculator

Turning the Calculator On and Off

(or 8®) keys. To prolong battery life, the APD™ (Automatic Power Down™) feature

lets the calculator turn itself off automatically.

Turning the Calculator On

Press ´.

• If you turned the unit off by pressing 2 ®, the unit returns to either the Apps

desktop or the Home screen.

• If you turned the unit off by pressing 8 ® or if the unit turned itself off through

APD, the unit returns to whichever application you used last.
