Op- erations are performed in the following descending order of priority: 1. The following are performed immediately: trig- onometric, hyperbolic, square, square root, factorial, exponential, reciprocal, conversion, combinations, permutations, percent, and log- arithmic keys 2. The percent change key 3. The universal powers and roots keys 4. Multiplication and division keys 5. Addition and subtraction keys 6. The equals key (=) completes all pending operations The calculator allows up to four pending opera- tions and 15 open parentheses. Clearing The following are the effects of the clearing keys. (©%) following a digit — clears the display. (%«) following an operation — clears the display and pending operations. (Ne) (ON) — clears the display and pending operations. — clears the user data memories. — clears the program registers. — clears the statistical registers and re- moves STAT from the display.Display Formats The internal display register holds calculated re- sults to 11 digits. The value displayed is rounded to eight digits. (EE) — Scientific notation allows you to use num- bers as small as +1 x 10—99 and as large as +9.9999999 x 1099. Numbers smaller than +1 x 10-7 and larger than +9.9999999 x 10” must be entered into the calculator in scientific notation. If calculations exceed these limits, the results are automatically displayed in scientific notation. Leave scientific notation with the (NY) (EE) key. GS — Numbers expressed in engineering notation are displayed as a mantissa times 10 raised to a power that is a multiple of three. Leave engineering notation with the Gav) GB key. n— Pressing the fix decimal key directs the calculator to round the display to n decimal places. The internal display register still retains the full 11 digit accuracy for use in subsequent calcula- tions. Reset to floating decimal mode with the (Nv) (2nd) (GEB, (2nc) GEB 8, or (2nc) GEB 9 keys.Memory Operations The calculator may have a maximum of eight user data memories, numbered 0 through 7. The num- ber of user data memories is set with the (na) n key with n the number of user data memories desired. The following keys and operations allow manipulation of the numbers in the user data memories. (2nd) — clears the user data memories. m— stores the value shown in the display in user data memory m. (RCL) m— recalls to the display the number in user data memory m. (Exc) m — exchanges the value in the display with the value in user data memory m. The results of calculations may be stored in a user data memory by following a calculation with (sto), the operation to be performed, and the number of the user data memory in which to store the result. The displayed number and calculations in progress are not affected. The following keys may be used in conjunction with (sto): 4), (=), G0, &). @), GN) (=), and (na) CWB.Powers and Roots (¥*) — The universal power key raises any positive number to any power. To use this key: e Enter the number to be raised to a power (“y”) e Press =) e Enter the power (“x”) e Press (=) (xv) (Y=) — The universal root key takes any root of any positive number. To use this key: e Enter the number to take the root of (“y”) © Press Gav) (7) e Enter the root to be taken (‘x") e Press (=) Constant Operations The (na) €3B key stores a number and an opera- tion for use in repetitive calculations. Here is how it works. e Enter the operation e Enter the repetitive number m @ Press e Press (=) From then on e Enter the number to be operated on e Press (=) The (na) 23 feature works with the following keys: , ©, Go, &), G2, @) G), and Gra) CS. Pressing ©%) after (=), OFF), any of the above operation keys, or the close parenthesis key re- moves the automatic constant.Algebraic Keys The following keys perform the indicated opera- tions on the number in the display: 3 — Absolute value (2na) — Signum (2n¢) G3 — Integer portion (2nd) GES — Fractional portion (=) — Square root (2na) — Square — Reciprocal (2ne) — Percent Trigonometric Operations (ORG) — Pressing the angular mode key changes from degree mode to radian mode to grad mode and back to degree mode. You may also go through the modes in reverse order by pressing the key. — The angular mode conversion key changes the mode displayed and converts the number in the display to the new units. You may also go through the modes and values in reverse order by pressing the (XV) (2na) key. (sin), (ees), (tan), (NV) (sin), (INV) (Gos), (WV) (tan) — The trigonometric keys calculate the sine, cosine, tan- gent, arcsine, arccosine, and arctangent of the number in the display. (ye) — Preceding one of the trigonometric keys with the hyperbolic key calculates the hyperbolic function of the number in the display. The keys (XV) and (tye) may be used together with either one first.Factorial, Permutations, and Combinations The (2nd) 3B key calculates and displays the fac- torial of any integer less than 70. The G2 key determines the permutations of n items taken r at a time. The key determines the combina- tions of n items taken r at a time. To determine permutations and combinations, the values of n and r are entered as n.rrr. For example, to find the combinations of 5 things taken 2 at a time, enter 5.002 and press the (2nd key. Statistical Keys When the or G3 key is pressed, the statistics mode is entered, memories 3 through 7 are cleared, any program is cleared, and STAT is displayed. The (2na) key returns the calculator to normal calculation mode. The STAT indicator is removed and the calculator is set with eight user data mem- ories with memories 3 through 7 cleared.vo oatee Dee te — The procedures to enter and remove statistical data are shown in the following charts.

Conversion from decimal mes es es to degrees/minutes/seconds is with the CD key. Programming Keys G3 m— Before programming, space must be made available in the calculators memory. The par- tition key sets the partition to m user data memo- 13ries. The remaining space is used for program steps, with eight program steps available for each memory that is not used. (LRN) — Pressing the learn key once puts the cal- culator in the learn mode if any programming steps are available. Pressing again returns the cal- culator to the manual operation mode and restores the display to its original state. (R/S) — The run/stop key reverses the status of processing. Pressing Starts program process- ing at the current position of the program counter. Pressing while a program is running stops the program. — The reset key resets the program counter to step 00, and, when used as a program step, also stops the program so that a value can be dis- played. (Fst) can be used from the keyboard or as a program instruction. (5 — The pause key, when encountered during program execution, causes the current value of the display register to be displayed for one to two seconds. (2na) — Pressing the clear program key while in the learn mode removes the program from pro- gram memory so that the calculator is ready for a new program. (sst), (8st) — The singlestep key moves forward one program step. The backstep key moves back one step. The (Sst) key can also be used to execute a program, one step at a time, with the result of each step displayed. 3, (2na) E53 — In the learn mode, the insert and delete keys allow changing a program by in- serting new keystrokes or deleting old ones. 14Key Codes TI-55-II Keyboard Showing Key Code and Function Name 17:23 13:63 **: (2nd) 12:(R/8) 13: =) *: (OFF) 15: OM * +o +: +c 2:2 *: (CRN) = 22: (RST *; (Sst) *: (est *; fax) 37:G 38:3 39: 30:63 31: (yp) 32:(sin) 33: (60s) 34: (an) 35: (ORG 47:G) 48:€ 49: 40: 41:0NV) 42:(€E) 43:(os) 44:(nz) 45:0%) “GS 57:2D 58:28 59:3 *:&3 *GQ@4) 52:@7) 53:4) 54:0) 55:2) CD 67: 68:G53 69: *:@2 61: (810) 07:77) 08:(@) 09:03) 65:0 *@ 7:6) 73:4 77: +: 71:(et) 04:74) 05:73) 06:72) 75:4) “Gl 37:3 3s:G3 3s9:Gp +: 81:@¢) 01:4) 02:2) 03:G@) 85:4) ‘Ga * 91:4) 00:4) 93:4) 94:45 95:=) *: No key code.
