  • If I switch the power on, and press the IC key nothing happens. But I do, as far as I can see, any calculation and press IC I get a (to me) random number displayed on screen. So yeah, that might be the case but I’m not sure what items it is counting. The RV key seems to flip between different numbers.

    Impact Calculation might just be a mistranslation. DeepL seems to think it should be mark-up. Following what you told me, I still get no result from operating the calculator with MU and %. Which is surprising me because it acts like those keys have no function.

    I’ll write it in the order I press the keys and maybe you’ll figure out what I’m doing wrong.

    Switch on > 100 > MU > 20 > % = 20

    It displays 20 even if I press += after. The display does update, so it is registering the key presses at least.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    edit: ok I think I figured it out. It’s MU > 100 > X > 20 > % > += > 120


  • Yeah, that makes sense, though the calculator doesn’t have a printer unless by print you mean something I’m too much of a scrub to understand!

    The MU button doesn’t “do” anything by itself. You’ll need to press 100. Press MU. press 20. Press %. Or maybe the sequence is different. It would be nice with a manual.

    Yeah I tried doing these things in different orders but they don’t seem to affect one another in any way. Maybe it needs one of the switches in a certain spot or something.

    A manual would definitely be a nice thing. Sadly I haven’t been able to find one.
