EC-235 8-Digit Pocket Calculator
OWNER’S MANUAL — Please read before using this equipment.
Your RadioShack EC-235 8-Digit Pocket Calculator’s compact size
lets you use it almost anywhere.
Exponential, Square Root,
and Reciprocal Calculations
Percentage Key — simplifies discount, percentage, and tax calcula-
tions.
Calculation

Square Root Key — quickly computes the square root of the dis-
played number.
The square root of 2 is 1.4142135
1/8 = 0.125

8 ÷ =
Constant Calculations — let you add, subtract, divide, or multiply the
same number over and over without having to re-enter that number.
Memory Calculations
Large 8-Digit Liquid Crystal Display — makes it easy to read calcu-
lation results.
To store a value in memory, first clear the memory and the display by
MR
pressing
(Memory Recall/Clear) twice, then press CE.
C
Protective Wallet — protects the calculator’s keypad.
To add a value to memory, enter the number or calculation you want to
add, then press M+. The calculator totals the current calculation (if one
is pending) and adds that value to memory.
OPERATION
You can enter basic, mixed, percentage,
add-on, and discount calculations.
To subtract a value from memory, enter the number or calculation you
want to subtract, then press M–. The calculator totals the current calcu-
lation (if one is pending) and subtracts that value from memory.
Press ON/C to turn on your calculator.
MR
To recall the value from memory, press
once.
C
If you do not press a key for about 8 minutes,
your calculator automatically turns off. To
turn it off sooner, press OFF.
Calculation Errors

Correcting Entry Errors
• A calculation result exceeds 8 digits. This is an overflow error (see
“Estimating Calculation Results” ).
If you enter an incorrect value, press CE
(Clear Entry) once. Then enter the correct
value and continue your calculation.
• A memory calculation result exceeds 8 digits to the left of the dec-
imal point. The memory contents remain unchanged.
To clear the display for a new calculation,
press ON/C (On/Clear) so 31 appears (this also clears the calculator’s
memory). Then begin the new calculation.
• You try to divide by 0.
• You try to calculate the square root of a negative number.
If you press an incorrect operator key (+, –, ×, ÷), simply press the cor-
rect key and continue your calculation.
If (5525 appears, press ON/C to clear the error.
Constant Calculations
Estimating Calculation Results
If you perform an operation that results in an overflow error, you can
estimate the correct result (to 8 significant digits) by following these
steps.
For addition, subtraction, and division, the value you enter before
pressing = is the constant. For multiplication, the value you enter be-
fore pressing × is the constant.
1. Count the number of digits to the left of the decimal point.
2. Remove the decimal point.

3. Add as many zeros to the right of the number as there were digits
to the left of the decimal point.

For example, if (5525#413475397 appears, the approximate answer is
101,420,640. If (5525#64<1:367: appears, the approximate answer is
31,970,347,000.
