To view the constants library
1. Press (№PS) CONSTANTS LIB.
2. Press (ENTER).
In RPN mode: follow step 1 only.
To view the value and units oF a particular constant
1. Highlight the constant whose value you want to see.
You can either press ® or @ rmtil the constant is highlighted, or press
(IM) followed by the first character of the constant’s abbreviation. For
example, to quickly find the acceleration of gravity, enter (IM) 0 G.
(The left-shift key is needed because the abbreviation for the
deceleration of gravity is a lower-case g.)
2. Press VALUE.
The numerical value of the constant is displayed.
3. If the imits are not displayed and you wish to see them, press units.
4. If SI units are displayed and you prefer imperial imits, press engl.
(Alternatively, if imperial imits are displayed and you prefer to see SI
imits, press SI.)
To copy a constant to the stack or history
1. Highliglit the constant whose value you want to copy.
You can either press @ or (0 imtil the constant is highlighted, or press
(IM followed by the first character of the constant’s abbreviation.
2. If you want to copy the value and its imits, display the units. (If the
units are not displayed, press units.)
3. Press —>STK.
Once copied to the stack or history, you can include the value or imit
object in calculations.
To return to the stack or history, press QUIT or (CANCB}.
