Handling Precautions
• Your ClassPad is made of precision components. Never try to take it apart.
• Avoid dropping your ClassPad and subjecting it to strong impact.
• Do not store the ClassPad or leave it in areas exposed to high temperatures or humidity, or
large amounts of dust. When exposed to low temperatures, the ClassPad may require more
time to display results and may even fail to operate. Correct operation will resume once the
ClassPad is brought back to normal temperature.
• Replace the batteries once every one year regardless of how much the ClassPad is used during
that period. Never leave dead batteries in the battery compartment. They can leak and damage
the ClassPad.
• Keep batteries out of the reach of small children. If swallowed, consult a physician immediately.
• Avoid using volatile liquids such as thinners or benzine to clean the ClassPad. Wipe it with a
soft, dry cloth, or with a cloth that has been moistened with a solution of water and a neutral
detergent and wrung out.
• Always be gentle when wiping dust off the display to avoid scratching it.
• In no event will the manufacturer and its suppliers be liable to you or any other person for any
damages, expenses, lost profits, lost savings or any other damages caused by loss of data
and/or formulas arising out of malfunction, repairs, or battery replacement. It is up to you to
prepare physical records of data to protect against such data loss.
• Never dispose of batteries, the liquid crystal panel, or other components by burning them.
• When the “Batteries are extremely low!” message appears on the display, replace the batteries
as soon as possible.
• Be sure to turn off the ClassPad before replacing the batteries.
• If the ClassPad is exposed to a strong electrostatic charge, its memory contents may be
damaged or the keys may stop working. In such a case, perform the reset operation to clear the
memory and restore normal key operation.
• If the ClassPad stops operating correctly for some reason, use the stylus to press the P button
on the back of the ClassPad. Note, however, that this clears all the data in ClassPad memory.
• Note that strong vibration or impact during program execution can cause execution to stop or
can damage the ClassPad’s memory contents.
• Using the ClassPad near a television or radio can cause interference with TV or radio reception.
• Before assuming malfunction of the ClassPad, be sure to carefully reread this user’s guide to
ensure that the problem is not due to insufficient battery power, programming, or operational
errors.
• Make sure nothing gets between the front cover and the touch screen. Besides creating the risk
of scratching the touch screen, an object coming into contact with the screen can cause the
power to turn on and run down the batteries.
• Always attach the front cover to the ClassPad whenever you are not using it. Otherwise,
accidental operation of the touch screen or the o key can cause the power to turn on and
run down the batteries.

Be sure to keep physical records of all important data!
Low battery power or incorrect replacement of the batteries that power the ClassPad can cause
the data stored in memory to be corrupted or even lost entirely. Stored data can also be affected
by strong electrostatic charge or strong impact. It is up to you to keep back up copies of data to
protect against its loss.
Backing Up Data
Your ClassPad comes bundled with a special USB cable and ClassPad Manager software, which
you can use to backup data to a computer running Windows® 98SE, Me, XP, or 2000.
• The ClassPad Manager software is on the CD-ROM.

General Guide
Using the Stylus
Most value and formula input, command executions, and other operations can be performed
using the stylus.
k Things you can do with the stylus
• This is equivalent to clicking with a mouse.
• To perform a tap operation, tap lightly with the
stylus on the ClassPad’s touch screen.
• Tapping is used to display a menu, execute an
on-screen button operation, make a window
active, etc.
Tap
• This is equivalent to dragging with a mouse.
• To perform a drag operation, hold the tip of
the stylus on the touch screen as you move
the stylus to another location.
Drag
• Dragging is used to change the setting of a
slider or some other on-screen controller, to
move a formula, etc.
Important!
• Be sure that you do not misplace or lose the stylus. Keep the stylus in the holder on the
right side of the ClassPad whenever you are not using it.
• Do not allow the tip of the stylus to become damaged. Using a stylus with a damaged tip to
perform touch screen operations can damage the touch screen.
• Use only the stylus that comes with your ClassPad or some other similar instrument to
perform touch screen operations. Never use a pen, pencil or other writing instrument, which
can damage the touch screen.

Turning Power On and Off
1-2 Turning Power On and Off
Turning Power On
You can turn on the ClassPad either by pressing the o key or by tapping the touch
screen with the stylus.
• Turning on the ClassPad (while it is in the sleep state) displays the window that was on the
display when you last turned it off. See “Resume Function” below.
• Note that you need to perform a few initial setup operations when you turn on the ClassPad
the first time after purchasing it. For details, see “Getting Ready” at the beginning of this
user’s guide (page 1).
Turning Power Off
To turn off the ClassPad, hold down the o key for about two seconds, or until the ending
screen appears. For details about the ending screen, see “15-11 Specifying the Ending
Screen Image”.
Important!
The ClassPad also has an Auto Power Off feature. This feature automatically turns the
ClassPad off when it is idle for a specified amount of time. For details, see “Auto Power Off”
on page 15-6-1.
Though the screen of your ClassPad goes blank when you turn it off, it continues to perform
certain internal processes for a short while. Because of this, you should always wait for a
minute or so after turning off the ClassPad before turning it back on again.
Resume Function
Any time the ClassPad powers down (because you turn off power or because of Auto Power
Off), the Resume function automatically backs up its current operational status and any data
in RAM, and the ClassPad enters a “sleep state”. If you turn ClassPad power back on while it
is in the sleep state, the Resume function restores the backed up operational status and
RAM data.
20050501
1-2-2
Turning Power On and Off
Limiting the Duration of the Sleep State
You can use the [Power Save Mode] setting (page 15-6-1) to limit the duration of the sleep
state that is entered by the Resume function. If you have “1 day” specified for [Power Save
Mode], for example, the ClassPad remains in the sleep state for one day after power is
turned off. After that, the ClassPad powers down completely, which deletes all data that was
backed up by the Resume function.
The following describes the difference between powering up from the sleep state and
powering up after the ClassPad powers down completely.
k Powering Up from the Sleep State
Power comes on immediately, with all data backed up by the Resume function restored.
k Powering Up after Complete Power Down
1. Press the o key or tap the ClassPad screen.
• This causes the ClassPad to perform it startup routine, which takes a little time to
complete.
2. The application menu will appear after you finish the touch panel alignment procedure.
Tip
• See “15-6 Configuring Power Properties” for information about changing the [Power Save Mode]
setting.

additional keys.
• Tap I to return to the initial alphabet (abc) key set.
20050501
1-6-12
Input
k Using Single-character Variables
As its name suggests, a single-character variable is a variable name that consists of a single
character like “a” or “x”. Input of single-character variable names is subject to different rules
than input of a series of multiple characters (like “abc”).
u To input a single-character variable name
Any character you input using any one of the following techniques is always treated as a
single-character variable.
• Tapping any key in the math (mth) keyboard’s V key set (page 1-6-10)
• Tapping any key in the 2D keyboard’s V key set (page 1-6-15)
• Tapping the X, Y, Z or [ key to the left of the 9 key of the math (mth) keyboard or
2D keyboard
• Pressing the x, y, or Z keypad key
If you use the above key operations to input a series of characters, each one is treated as a
single-character variable. Inputting A, B, C, for example, is treated as the mathematical
expression a × b × c, and not as the characters “abc”.
Tip
• The single-character variables described above make it possible for you to perform calculations
as they are written in your textbook.
Example 1: 9VABCw
Example 2: 2xyE
Tip
• When you input a single-character variable, its name appears on the display as an italicized bold
character. This is simply to let you know that the letter is a single-character variable name.
20050501
1-6-13
Input
u To input a series of multiple characters
A series of multiple characters (like “list1”) can be used for variable names, program
commands, comment text, etc. Always use the alphabet (abc) keyboard when you want to
input a series of characters.
Example: 0abcw
You can also use the alphabet (abc) keyboard to input single-character variable names. To do
so, simply input a single character, or follow a single character with a mathematical operator.
Example: 0a*b+cw
Tip
• A single-character variable you input using the alphabet (abc) keyboard is identical to a single-
character variable you input using the math (mth) keyboard.
k Using the Catalog (cat) Keyboard
The “Form” menu of the catalog keyboard lets you select one of the following five categories:
[Func] (built-in functions on pages 2-4-2 and 2-7-1), [Cmd] (built-in commands and operators
on pages 1-7-4 and 12-6-1), [Sys] (system variables on page α-7-1), [User] (user-defined
functions on page 12-5-1), and [All] (all commands, functions, etc.). After selecting a
category, you can choose the item you want from the alphabetized list that appears on the
catalog (cat) keyboard.
Tip
• Note that user-defined variables and user-defined programs cannot be input using the catalog
(cat) keyboard. Use the Variable Manager (page 1-8-1) instead.
• A user-defined function must be stored in the “library” folder to appear in the catalog (cat)
keyboard list when the [User] category is selected.
20050501
1-6-14
Input
u Catalog (cat) keyboard configuration
This is an alphabetized list of commands,
functions, and other items available in the
category currently selected with “Form”.
Tap the down button and then select the
category you want ([Func], [Cmd], [Sys],
[User], or [All]) from the list that appears.
Tapping a letter button displays the
commands, functions, or other items that
begin with that letter.
Tap this key to input the item that is
currently selected in the alphabetized list.
u To use the catalog (cat) keyboard
Example: To input the built-in “Plot” command
(1) Tap ( to display the catalog (cat) keyboard.
(2) Tap the “Form” down arrow button v and then select [Cmd] from the list of categories
that appears.
(3) Tap the u button in the lower right corner until the P key is visible.
(4) Tap P.
(5) In the alphabetized list, tap “Plot”.
(6) Tap [INPUT] to input the command.
Tip
• Instead of tapping [INPUT] in step (6), you could also tap the command you selected in step (5) a
second time to input the command.
20050501
1-6-15
Input
k Using the 2D Keyboard
The 2D keyboard provides you with a number of templates that let you input fractions,
exponential values, nth roots, matrices, differentials, integrals, and other complex
expressions as they are written.
It also includes a V key set that you can use to input single-character variables like the
ones you can input with the math (mth) keyboard.
u Initial 2D keyboard key set
This key set lets you input mathematical expressions as they are written. Tap the J and K
keys to scroll between the menus of available templates.
K →
← J
u V key set
Tapping the V key displays keys for inputting single-character variables, and changes the
V softkey to I. You can tap this key to toggle between V and the initial 2D keyboard.
Tapping the E key switches to a key set for inputting upper-case single-character
variables.
← E →
Tip
• As its name suggests, a single-character variable is a variable name that consists of a single
character like “a” or “x”. Each character you input on the V keyboard is treated as a single-
character variable. You cannot use the V keyboard to input multiple-character variable names
like “ab” or multiple-character strings. You must use the alphabet (abc) keyboard when you want
to input a multiple-character string. For more information, see “Using Single-character Variables”
on page 1-6-12.
• For information about the D key that appears in the lower right of all of the 2D keyboard key
sets, see “Using the Answer Variable (ans)” on page 2-2-2.
• Note that natural input is available in most applications of the ClassPad. Natural input cannot be
used in the geometry measurement box or when entering data into a list.

Variables and Folders
1-7 Variables and Folders
Your ClassPad lets you register text strings as variables. You can then use a variable to store
a value, expression, string, list, matrix, etc. A variable can be recalled by a calculation to
access its contents.
Variables are stored in folders. In addition to the default folders that are provided
automatically, you can also create your own user folders. You can create user folders as
required to group variables by type or any other criteria.
Folder Types
Your ClassPad stores variables in one of four types of folders described below.
Folder Type
Description
“system” Folder
This is one of the ClassPad’s reserved folders, which is provided by
default. It is used for storage of system variables, which are pre-
defined variables used by ClassPad applications and other system
operations.
Some examples of system variables are “list1” through “list6”, View
Window parameters “xmin” and “xmax”, etc. A system variable can be
accessed by any application simply by specifying the applicable
variable name.
“library” Folder
“main” Folder
User Folder
Also a ClassPad reserved folder, the “library” folder can be used for
storing user-created variables. Variables stored in the “library” folder
can be accessed without specifying a path, regardless of the current
folder setting (see next page).
The “main” folder is also a ClassPad reserved folder, and acts as the
default current folder. While the “main” folder is the current folder, all
variables created by ClassPad application operations are stored here
when you do not specify a path for variable storage.
This is a folder created and named by you.You can make a user
folder the current folder, move variables to a user folder, etc.You can
also delete and rename a user folder as required.You can have up to
87 user folders in ClassPad memory at one time.
Tip
• You cannot put a folder inside of another folder.
• You can view the contents of a folder, other than “system”, using the Variable Manager (page
1-8-1). Note, however, that you cannot open the “system” folder for viewing.
• The “system” folder contents are listed within the ( page of the keyboard when “Sys” is
selected for “Form”.
20050501
1-7-2
Variables and Folders
k Current Folder
The current folder is the folder where the variables created by applications (excluding
eActivity) are stored and from which such variables can be accessed. The initial default
current folder is the “main” folder.
You can also select a user folder you created as the current folder. For more information
about how to do this, see “Specifying the Current Folder” on page 1-8-3.
Variable Types
ClassPad variables can be broadly grouped into three types: general variables, system
variables, and local variables.
Variable Type
Description
General Variables A general variable is one you create using any name you want.
Unless you specify otherwise when you are creating it, a general
variable is stored in the current folder.You can use the same name for
multiple variables, as long as each of them is stored in a different
folder. General variables can be deleted, renamed, etc.
System Variables
System variables are pre-defined reserved variables used by
ClassPad applications and other system operations. They are stored
in the “system” folder. System variables can be accessed without
specifying the folder name, and can even be accessed from another
folder. Since system variable names are reserved words, they cannot
be renamed. Whether you are allowed to delete or change the
contents of a system variable depends on each variable.
• For the names of and detailed information about system variables,
see the “System Variable Table” on page α-7-1.
Local Variables
A local variable is a variable that is temporarily created by a defining
function, program, or other operation for a particular purpose. A local
variable is deleted automatically when execution of the program or
user-defined function that created it is complete.You can create a
local variable by including the “Local” command in a program. Any
variable specified as the argument of a program or a user-defined
function is automatically treated as a local variable.
20050501
1-7-3
Variables and Folders
k Variable Data Types
ClassPad variables support a number of data types. The type of data assigned to a variable
is indicated by a data type name. Data type names are shown on the Variable Manager
variable list, and on the Select Data dialog box that appears when you are specifying a
variable in any ClassPad application or using the [Setup] menu (page 14-2-1). The following
table lists all of the variable data type names and explains the meaning of each.
Data Type Name

Image data
• ClassPad image data includes graph image data saved using the
Store function, and image data captured using the Presentation
application.
GMEM*
Graph memory data saved using the Graph & Table application
• For more information, see “Saving Graph Editor Data to Graph
Memory” on page 3-3-9.
Geometry application data
General-purpose data
GEO*
MEM*
OTHR
Data other than that described above
* Protected variable types
Some data types are protected. A variable whose data type is protected cannot be
overwritten with another variable, which “protects” variable contents from being inadvertently
altered. Data types whose names are marked with an asterisk in the above table are
protected.
Tip
• Note that whether or not a data type is protected is determined by the system. You cannot
change the protect status of a data type.
• Even when a variable is a protected data type, you can rename, delete, or move it. To disable
these operations, you need to lock the variable. For more information, see “Locking a Variable or
Folder” on page 1-7-10.
• The elements of the LIST data type can contain EXPR or STR type data only. The elements of
the MAT data type can contain EXPR type data only.

Variables and Folders
Creating a Folder
You can have up to 87 user folders in memory at the same time. This section explains how to
create a user folder and explains the rules that cover folder names.
You can create a folder using either the Variable Manager or the “NewFolder” command.
k Creating a folder using the Variable Manager
On the Variable Manager window, tap [Edit] and then [Create Folder]. For more information,
see “1-8 Using the Variable Manager”.
k Creating a folder using the “NewFolder” command
In the Main application or in a program, execute the “NewFolder” command.
Example: To create a new folder named “Test”
u ClassPad Operation
(1) Tap m to display the application menu, and then tap J to start the Main application.
(2) Display the catalog (cat) keyboard, and then input the “NewFolder” command.
a. In the [Form] menu, select [Cmd].
b. Tap u and the [N] to display the first command that starts with the letter “N”.
c. In the command list, tap “NewFolder” to select it.
d. Tap [INPUT].

Variables and Folders
(4) Tap w to execute the command.
• The message “done” appears on the display to let you know that command execution
is complete.
Tip
• You can use the Variable Manager to view the contents of a folder you create. For more
information, see “1-8 Using the Variable Manager”.
• For information about commands you can use to perform folder operations, see “12-6 Program
Command Reference”.
k Folder Name Rules
The following are the rules that apply to folder names.
• Folder names can be up to 8 bytes long.
• The following characters are allowed in a folder name.
Upper-case and lower-case unaccented characters (character codes 65 to 90, 97 to 122)
Upper-case and lower-case accented characters (character codes 257 to 416, 513 to 672)
Subscript characters (character codes 480 to 491, 496 to 512, 737 to 746, 752 to 766)
Numbers (character codes 48 to 57)
Underscore (character code 95)
• Folder names are case-sensitive.
For example, each of the following is treated as a different folder name: abc, Abc, aBc,
ABC.
• A reserved word (system variable names, built-in function names, command names, etc.)
cannot be used as a folder name.
• A number, subscript characters or the underscore (_) cannot be used as the first character
of a folder name.
Creating and Using Variables
This section explains how to create a new variable (general variable), and provides a simple
sample calculation that illustrates how to use a variable.
k Variable Name Rules
The rules for naming variables are identical to those that cover folder names. For more
information, see “Folder Name Rules” above.
20050501
1-7-6
Variables and Folders
k Single-character Variable Precautions
Your ClassPad supports the use of single-character variables, which are variables whose
names consist of a single character like “a” or “x”. Some ClassPad keys (x, y, Z
keypad keys, math (mth) soft keyboard X, Y, Z, [ keys, V key set keys, etc.) are
dedicated single-character variable name input keys. You cannot use such a key to input a
variable name that has more than one character.
For example, pressing the keypad keys x and y in succession is interpreted by the
ClassPad as the multiplication expression “x × y”, and not as the characters “xy”. In order to
input a variable name made up of two or more characters, use the alphabet (abc) keyboard.
For more information, see “Using Single-character Variables” on page 1-6-12.
k Creating a New Variable
The most common way to create a new variable is assigning a value or expression to the
applicable variable name. Use the variable assignment key (W) to assign data to a variable.
Assign key
This key is included on the math
(mth) and 2D soft keyboards.
The following is an example of assignment to a variable while “main” is specified as the
current folder.
Example: To create a new variable named “eq1” and assign the expression 2x + 1 to it
The following assumes that there are no variables named “eq1” or “x” currently in
the “main” folder.
u ClassPad Operation
(1) On the application menu, tap J to start the Main application.
(2) Press k to display the soft keyboard, and then perform the following key
operation.
9cX+bW0eqbw
• This creates a variable named “eq1” in the current folder (the “main” folder in this
example), and assigns the expression 2x + 1 to it.
20050501
1-7-7
Variables and Folders
Tip
• As shown in the above example, assigning something to a variable with a name that does not yet
exist in the current folder causes a new variable with that name to be created. If a variable with
the specified name already exists in the current folder, the contents of the existing variable are
replaced with the newly assigned data, unless the existing variable is protected. For more
information about protected variables, see “Protected variable types” on page 1-7-3.
• To store the newly created variable in a folder other than the current folder, specify the variable
name as follows: <folder name>\<variable name>.
• You can use the Variable Manager to view the contents of a variable you create. For more
information, see “1-8 Using the Variable Manager”.
k Variable Usage Example
The following example uses the variable we created in the example under “Creating a New
Variable” above.
Example: To copy the variable “eq1” and then paste it into the following two equations:
eq1 + x – 2 and eq1 × 2
u ClassPad Operation
(1) First, check the current contents of variable “eq1”.
0eqbw
(2) Copy the variable by dragging the stylus across “eq1” and then tapping G, or tap
[Edit] [Copy].
• Copy and paste comes in handy when you need to input the same variable into
multiple expressions. You can also drag “eq1” to another line.
(3) Perform the key operation below to input and execute the first expression:
eq1 + x – 2.
H (or [Edit] [Paste]) 9+X-cw
(4) Perform the key operation below to replace the current contents of “eq1” with the list
{1, 2, 3}.
9{b,c,d}WHw
(5) Perform the key operation below to input and execute the second expression:
eq1 × 2
H9*cw
20050501
1-7-8
Variables and Folders
k “library” Folder Variables
Variables in the “library” folder can be accessed without specifying a path name, regardless
of the current folder.
Example: To create and access two variables, one located in the “library” folder and one
located in another folder
u ClassPad Operation
(1) With “main” specified as the current folder (the default), perform the following operation
to create a variable named “eq1” and assign the indicated list data to it.
{1, 2, 3} S eq1w
(2) Keeping “main” specified as the current folder, perform the following operation to create
a variable named “eq2” in the “library” folder, and assign the indicated list data to it.
{4, 5, 6} S library \ eq2 w
Specifies the “library” folder.
(3) Check the contents of the two variables.
eq1 w
eq2 w
Since variable “eq2” is stored in the
“library” folder, you do not need to
indicate a path to access it.
(4) Change the current folder specification to “Test”.
• Use the Basic Format dialog box (page 14-3-1) or the Variable Manager (page 1-8-1)
to change the current folder specification.
(5) Perform the following operations to view the contents of variables “eq1” and “eq2”.
eq1 w
Since this key operation does not access the
“main” folder, the variable name (“eq1”) is
displayed without showing the variable contents.
main\eq1 w
Specifying the path to the “main” folder
where “eq1” is located displays the
contents of the variable.
20050501
1-7-9
Variables and Folders
eq2 w
Since variable “eq2” is stored in the
“library” folder, you do not need to
indicate a path to access it.
Tip
• Specifying a variable name that exists in both the current folder and the “library” folder causes the
variable in the current folder to be accessed. For details about the variable access priority
sequence and how to access variables in particular folders, see “Rules Governing Variable
Access” on page 1-7-11.
• You can use the Variable Manager (page 1-8-1) to move existing variables from the “main” folder
or a user folder to the “library” folder, or from the “library” folder to other folders.
k Using List Editor to Create a LIST Variable
List Editor makes creation of LIST variables (variables that contain list data) quick and easy.
This capability really comes in handy when you need to perform a calculation (statistical
calculations, etc.) that involves a large number of LIST variables.
List Editor appears as the initial screen when you start up the Statistics application. You can
also access the List Editor window from the Main, Graph & Table, and eActivity applications.
1
2
Input a variable name like “list_t” into the title cell at the top of the list on the List Editor
window (1), and then input values into the list (2). This creates a LIST variable with the
name list_t that is assigned the contents of the list of data (2). The above example creates a
LIST variable named “list_t” and assigns it the list data “{12, 24, 36}”.
Tip
• For details about using List Editor, see “7-2 Using List Editor”.
20050501
1-7-10
Variables and Folders
Assigning Values and Other Data to a System Variable
As its name suggests, a system variable is a variable that is created and used by the system
(page 1-7-5). Some system variables allow you to assign values and other data to them,
while some system variables do not. For more information about which variables allow you to
control their contents, see the “System Variable Table” on page α-7-1.
Locking a Variable or Folder
Locking a variable or folder protects against inadvertently deleting it or changing its contents.
You can unlock a locked variable or folder to re-enable deletion and data assignment.
• Locking a variable disables the following operations on it: delete, overwrite, rename, and
move (to another folder).
• Locking a folder makes it impossible to delete or rename the folder.
Tip
• In terms of ClassPad variables, “lock” is completely different from “protect”. For more information
about “protect”, see “Variable Data Types” on page 1-7-3.
You can lock and unlock a variable or folder using either the Variable Manager or
commands.
u To lock or unlock a variable or folder using the Variable Manager
In the Variable Manager, select the folder or variable you want to lock or unlock and then tap
[Edit] - [Lock] or [Edit] - [Unlock]. For more information, see “1-8 Using the Variable
Manager”.
u To lock or unlock a variable or folder using commands
In the Main application or in a program, execute one of the commands described below.
To do this:
Use this command syntax:
Lock <variable name>
Lock a variable
Unlock a variable
Lock a folder
Unlock <variable name>
LockFolder <folder name>
UnlockFolder <folder name>
Unlock a folder
For information about commands, see “12-6 Program Command Reference”.
20050501
1-7-11
Variables and Folders
Rules Governing Variable Access
Normally, you access a variable by specifying its variable name. The rules in this section
apply when you need to reference a variable that is not located in the current folder or to
access a variable that has the same name as one or more variables located in other folders.
k Variable Search Priority Sequence
Specifying a variable name to access a variable, searches variables in the following
sequence.
(1) Local Variables
(2) Current Folder Variables
(3) “library” Folder Variables
• Multiple variables with the same name can exist simultaneously as a local variable, as a
variable in the current folder, and as a variable in the “library” folder. In this case, the
ClassPad searches folders according to the sequence shown above and accesses the first
instance of the variable that it finds. If you want to access such a variable when it occurs
lower in the above priority sequence, you need to specify the folder name along with the
variable name as shown in “Specifying a Variable in a Particular Folder” below.
• If a variable you specify cannot be found, it is treated as an “undefined variable”.
• Note that the “system” folder is not included in the above variable search. When accessing
a variable in the system folder, you need to specify the variable name only, without
specifying the folder name.
Tip
• Local variables exist only as long as the program or user-defined function for which it was
created in being executed.
• When a variable search is required during a subroutine called by a program or user-defined
function, the local variable search range includes only the local variables of the subroutine
currently being executed.
• For information about programs and user-defined functions, see Chapter 12.
• Only local variables and current folder variables are searched in the case of an operation that
stores variable data or a command that performs an operation on a variable (like “DelVar”).
Normally, “library” folder variables are not searched. If you want to include “library” folders in the
search, you need to specify the “library” folder as the variable location as explained below.
k Specifying a Variable in a Particular Folder
You can access a variable located inside the “main” folder, “library” folder, or a particular user
folder by specifying the folder name along with the variable name. Use the following syntax
when specifying a folder name:
<folder name>\<variable name>
Example: To specify variable “abc” located in the “main” folder
main\abc

Using the Variable Manager
1-8 Using the Variable Manager
The Variable Manager is a tool for managing user variables, programs, user functions, and
other types of data. Though this section uses only the term “variables”, the explanations
provided here also refer to the other types of data that can be managed by the Variable
Manager.
Variable Manager Overview
This section explains how to start up and exit the Variable Manager. It also provides
information about the configuration of the Variable Manager.
With the Variable Manager you can:
• Create, delete, rename, lock, and unlock folders for storing variables, and configure current
folder settings.
• Delete, copy, rename, move, lock, unlock, search for variables, and view the contents of
variables.
Starting Up the Variable Manager
You can start up the Variable Manager using the O menu or by using an application’s
toolbar.
u To start up the Variable Manager using the O menu
Tap O, [Settings], and then [Variable Manager].
u To start up the Variable Manager using the toolbar
On the toolbar of the application you are using, tap 5.
• Starting up the Variable Manager initially displays the folder list, which is described on the

Variable Manager Folder Operations
This section describes the various folder operations you can perform using the Variable
Manager.
k Specifying the Current Folder
The “current folder” is the folder where the variables created by applications (excluding
eActivity) are stored and from which such variables can be accessed. The initial default
current folder is the “main” folder.
You can also select a folder you created yourself as the current folder.
u ClassPad Operation
(1) Start up the Variable Manager and display the folder list.
Current folder
(2) Tap the [Current] down arrow button. On the list that appears, select the folder that you
want to specify as the current folder.
(3) Tap [Close] to close the folder list.
k Creating a New Folder
You can use the following procedure to create up to 87 folders, as you need them.
u ClassPad Operation
(1) Start up the Variable Manager, which causes the folder list to appear.
(2) On the folder list, tap [Edit] and then [Create Folder].
• This displays a dialog box for inputting a folder name.
(3) Enter the folder name, and then tap [OK].
• This creates the new folder and returns to the folder list.
• Normally, a folder name can contain up to eight bytes. If your folder name includes 2-byte
characters, you may not be able to input eight characters for the folder name. For details
about folder names, see page 1-7-5.
Tip
• An error message appears and your folder is not created if there is already a folder with the same
name you input. Tap [OK] to close the error message dialog box, and then specify a different
name for the folder you are creating.
20050501

Using the Variable Manager
k Selecting and Deselecting Folders
The folder operations you perform are performed on the currently selected folders. The
folders that are currently selected on the folder list are those whose check boxes are
selected (checked). You can use the following operations to select and deselect folders as
required.
To do this:
Do this:
Select a single folder
Select the check box next to the folder name.
Clear the check box next to the folder name.
Tap [All] and then [Select All].

affects the folder whose name is currently highlighted on the list. If any folder check box is
currently selected, only that folder is affected by a folder operation, and the folder whose name is
highlighted on the list is not affected.
• Selecting the check box of a folder causes the check boxes of all of the variables inside of it also
to become selected.
• When renaming a folder, only the folder whose name is highlighted on the folder list is renamed.
Other folders whose check boxes are selected are not affected.
k Deleting a Folder
Warning!
Before deleting a folder, make sure you no longer need any of the variables contained inside it.
It is probably a good idea to first delete the variables you don’t need and move the variables
you do need to another folder, and then delete the empty folder.
u ClassPad Operation
(1) Start up the Variable Manager and display the folder list.
(2) Open the folder you want to delete and check its contents.

bgaaE-ew
Omitting the Multiplication Sign
You can omit the multiplication sign in any of the following cases.
• In front of a function
Examples: 2sin (30), 10log (1.2)
• In front of a constant or variable
Examples: aπ, 2ab, 3ans
• In front of an open parenthesis
Examples: 3(5 + 6), (a + 1)(b – 1)
Note that you must use a multiplication sign when the expression directly in front of the
open parenthesis is a literal variable. Example: ab (3 + b) must be written ab × (3 + b).
Otherwise, your input is considered to be in function notation ( f (x)).
• In front of the e key or E key (See “Using the e Key” above.)
• In front of a matrix or list
Examples: a {1, 2, 3}, 3 [[1,2] [3,4]]
Using the Answer Variable (ans)
Any time you execute a calculation in the Main application work area, the last result is
assigned automatically to a variable named “ans” (answer). You can even recall current “ans”
variable contents and input them into another calculation by pressing the D key as shown
below.
Example: 123 + 456 = 579
789 – 579 = 210

2-2-3
Basic Calculations
Tip
• The “ans” variable is a system variable. For details about system variables, see “1-7 Variables
and Folders”.
• Since “ans” is a variable name, you can specify the “ans” variable by inputting [a][n][s] on the
0 (alphabet) keyboard, or by tapping the D key on the 9 or the ) keyboard.
• The “ans” variable stores the result of your last or most recent calculation.
• The work area maintains a calculation history of the calculations you perform (page 2-3-1). Any
instance of the “ans” variable in the calculation history contains the result of the calculation
immediately prior to that instance. You can use “ans” as many times as you want in calculations,
as long as you remember that the value or expression assigned to each “ans” variable in the
calculation history is determined by the calculation immediately preceding it.
• Using the “ans” variable in a calculation results in an error if the previous calculation produced an
error display or after a program produces the “done” message on the display.
• The format of the calculation result value assigned to the “ans” variable depends on the Basic
Format dialog box [Display] setting (page 14-3-2). The following illustrates the format used when
“Fix2” is selected for the [Display] setting.
approx (1/3) w 0.33
ans × 3 w
0.99
See “Standard Mode and Decimal Mode” on page 2-2-5.
Calculation Error
An error message dialog box, like the one shown below, appears when there is a problem
with the syntax of an input expression or value, when the number of decimal places of a
calculation result in the Standard mode (page 2-2-5) exceeds a specified range, etc. Tap
[OK] to close the dialog box and return to the calculation.
Tip
• The text of the error message dialog box depends on the type of error that occurred. For details,
see the “Error Message Table” on page α-10-1.
• If you perform a calculation that is mathematically undefined (such as division by zero), the
message “Undefined” appears in place of the calculation result, without display of an error
message.

Basic Calculations
Calculation Priority Sequence
Your ClassPad automatically performs calculations in the following sequence.
1 Commands with parentheses (sin(, diff(, etc.)
2 Factorials (x!), degree specifications (o, r ), percents (%)
3 Powers
4 π, memory, and variable multiplication operations that omit the multiplication sign (2π, 5A,
etc.)
Command with parentheses multiplication operations that omit the multiplication sign (2 3,
etc.)
× , ÷
5 +, –, (–)
6 Relational operators (=, ≠, <, >, <, >)
7 and
8 or, xor
9 with ( | )
2
Example: 2 + 3 × (log (sin(2π )) + 6.8) = 22.07101691 (In Algebra mode, Decimal mode,
1
Radian mode.)

Tip
• Expressions in parentheses are given priority.
• In cases where a series of calculations in the same expression includes more than one of the
operators 4 through 9 that are the same priority sequence level, the same level operations are
performed from left to right. A series of power calculations 3 (example: 5^2^3) is performed from
right to left (5^(2^3)).

Basic Calculations
Calculation Modes
The Main application has a number of different modes, as described under “Using Main
Application Modes” on page 2-1-4. The display format of calculation results depends on the
currently selected Main application mode. This section tells you which mode you need to use
for each type of calculation, and explains the differences between the calculation results
produced by each mode.
• All of the following calculation examples are shown using the Algebra mode only.
k Standard Mode and Decimal Mode
The Standard mode displays calculation results in mathematical expression format whenever
possible, while the decimal mode converts calculation results to a decimal form. When the
Decimal mode is selected, you can control the use of exponential notation with the [Display]
setting on the Basic Format dialog box (page 14-3-1).

Using the Calculation History
Re-calculating an Expression
You can edit a calculation expression in the calculation history and then re-calculate the
resulting expression. Tapping w re-calculates the expression where the cursor is currently
located, and also re-calculates all of the expressions below the current cursor location.
Example 1: To change the expression “ans × 2” to “ans × 3” in the example below, and then
re-calculate
u ClassPad Operation
(1) Tap to the right of the expression “ans × 2” to locate the cursor there.
(2) Delete “2” and input “3”.
Kd
(3) Tap w.
• This re-calculates the expression where the cursor is located, and all the expressions
underneath it.
Re-calculated
Important!
Remember that re-calculation is performed starting from the current cursor location. If, after
performing the first two steps of the above procedure, you move the cursor to the end of
“ans + 6” in line 3 of the calculation history and then tap w, only line 3 is re-calculated.
Not re-calculated
(because it is above
the cursor location)

Function Calculations
2-4 Function Calculations
This section explains how to perform function calculations in the Main application work area.
• Most of the operators and functions described in this section are input from the 9
(math) and ( (catalog) keyboard. The actual keyboard you should use to perform the
sample operations presented here is the one indicated by a ⅜ mark or by button names*
(“TRIG”, “MATH”, “Cmd”, etc.) in one of the columns titled “Use this keyboard”.
*For more information about these buttons, see “Advanced Soft Keyboard Operations”
(page 1-6-8).
• You do not need to input the closing parenthesis that comes immediately before an E key
operation. All of the calculation examples in this section omit the closing parentheses
before E.
The following example calculations are all performed using the Decimal mode. Using the
Standard mode causes results to be displayed as fractions. For details about the Decimal
mode and Standard mode, see “Status Bar Mode Indicators” on page 2-1-4.
k Angle Conversion (°, r)
The first two examples below use “Degree” (indicated by “Deg” in the status bar) as the
angle unit setting. The final example uses “Radian” (indicated by “Rad” in the status bar) as
the angle unit setting. Note that using the wrong angle unit setting will make it impossible to
produce correct calculation results.
u To change the angle unit setting
(1) On the O menu, tap [Settings], [Setup], and then [Basic Format].
(2) Tap the [Common] tab.
(3) Tap the [Angle] down arrow button, and then select [Degree] or [Radian].

k Random Number Generator (rand, randList, RandSeed)
• The ClassPad random number generator can generate truly random numbers (non-
sequential random numbers) and random numbers that follow a particular pattern (sequen-
tial random numbers). Using the “randList” function, you can generate a list whose
elements contain random numbers. There are nine different patterns for generation of
sequential random numbers. Use the “RandSeed” command to switch between non-
sequential and sequential random number generation, and to select the sequential random
number generation pattern.
u ClassPad Operation
(1) Use the “RandSeed” command to configure random number generation settings, if
required.
(2) Use the “rand” function or “randList” function to generate the random numbers.
20050501
2-4-7
Function Calculations
u “rand” Function
• The “rand” function generates random numbers. If you do not specify an argument, “rand”
generates 10-digit decimal values 0 or greater and less than 1.
Specifying two integer values for the argument generates random numbers between them.

u “RandSeed” Command
• You can specify an integer from 0 to 9 for the argument of this command. 0 specifies non-
sequential random number generation. An integer from 1 to 9 uses the specified value as a
seed for specification of sequential random numbers. The initial default argument for this
command is 0.

2-10 Using Verify
Verify provides you with a powerful tool to check whether your numeric or algebraic
manipulations are correct. Verify will assist you in simplifying an expression by verifying
whether or not the expression you entered is equivalent to your original expression. If it is,
you will get a pleasant response; if not, you will need to correct your mistake before
continuing.
You can access Verify within the Main application or the eActivity application. In the Main
application, you can save Verify sessions in ClassPad memory and reopen the session for
future use.
Verify sessions can also be saved within an eActivity. For more information on saving an
eActivity, see “10-2 Creating an eActivity”.

Using the Graph & Table
Application
The Graph & Table application allows you to input and graph
rectangular coordinate equations (or inequalities), polar coordinate
equations, and parametric expressions. After you graph an expression,
you can zoom in or out, and move a pointer along the graph, displaying
its coordinates as you go. You can also perform various graph-based
analytical operations to determine the points of intersect of two graphs,
and to determine the maximum, minimum, point of inflection, and
definite integral for a particular range of a parabola or other figure. You
can even generate number tables and summary tables for functions
that you input.

Using the Graph Window
u View Window parameter precautions
• An error occurs if you input 0 for tθstep.
• An error also occurs if you input a value that is out of range for a parameter, if you input a
minus sign only, or if you perform any other illegal input.
• An error occurs if ymin is greater than or equal to the ymax. The same is also of the xmin
and xmax. If the value you specify for tθmin is greater than the value you specify for tθmax,
the tθstep setting is automatically changed to a negative value.
• When the View Window setting produces an axis that does not fit on the display, the scale
of the axis is indicated on the edge of the display closest to the origin.
• Changing the xmin (ymin) or xmax (ymax) value automatically changes the xdot (ydot)
value, while changing the xdot (ydot) value automatically changes the xmax (ymax) value.
u To initialize View Window parameters

• When you quick graph a function using drag and drop, the function is always treated as a “y=”
expression, regardless of the graph type specified for the function.
• Up to 30 of the graphs you draw in the Graph window are stored in memory as you draw them.
This includes graphs drawn from Graph Editor window functions, graphs drawn using the Sketch
functions (Tangent, Normal, Inverse), and graphs drawn using the drag and drop operation
described above. Though you can draw more than 30 graphs at one time, any graphs after the
30th are not stored in memory.
• All of the Graph window graphs that are currently stored in memory are redrawn when you scroll
the Graph window or tap the [ReDraw] command on the a menu. Since only 30 graphs are
stored in memory, anything drawn after the 30th graph is not redrawn. Keep this limitation in mind
when you draw a large number of graphs at the same time.

Using Table & Graph
3-4 Using Table & Graph
The Graph & Table application includes a “Table window” for displaying number tables and
summary tables generated with the functions you input on the Graph Editor window.
Generating a Number Table
You can use either of the following two methods to generate a number table using a Graph &
Table application function. The method used to generate the number table depends on the
setting of the Basic Format dialog box [Table Variable] item.
• For details about Basic Format settings, see “14-3 Setup Menu Settings”.
u Specifying a range of values for x using the Table Input dialog box
This is the initial default number table generation method. With this method, you use the
Table Input dialog box to specify a range of values for variable x, and then generate a
number table for those values. This number table generation method is in effect whenever
“Table Input” is selected for the [Table Variable] setting.
u Assigning list values to x
With this number table generation method, you must first use the List Editor to create a list
and store the list data. To access the List Editor, tap O and then [List Editor].
For details about using the List Editor, see Chapter 7.
20050501
3-4-2
Using Table & Graph
u To generate a number table by specifying a range of values for x using the
Table Input dialog box
Example: To generate a number table for the function y = 3x2 – 2 as the value of x changes
from –3 to 1 in increments of 1
(1) On the application menu, tap T.
(2) In line y1 of the Graph Editor window, input and save y = 3x2 – 2.
(3) Tap 8. This displays the Table Input dialog box.
(4) Input the following values for the x-values of your table, and then tap [OK].
(5) Tap #.
• This generates the number table and displays the result on the Table window.
• The derivative is also included in the number
table when the Graph Format “Derivative/
Slope” check box is selected.
Tip
• The above operation is possible only when “Table Input” (which is the initial default) is selected
for the Basic Format dialog box [Table Variable] item.
• You can specify the width of table cells using the [Cell Width Pattern] on the Basic Format dialog
box (page 14-3-3).
20050501

Using Table & Graph
u To generate a number table by assigning list values to x
(1) Create and save the list of values to be assigned.
list1 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
(2) In line y1 of the Graph & Table application Graph Editor window, input and save
y = 3x2 – 2.
(3) Specify the list that contains the values you want to assign to x (list1 in this example).
• You can configure list data settings using the Basic Format dialog box.
For details about Basic Format settings, see “14-3 Setup Menu Settings”.
(4) On the Graph Editor window, tap the function you want to use for number table
generation (y1 in this example).
(5) Tap #.
• This generates the number table and displays the result on the Table window.
Tip
• The above operation is possible only when “List” (list1 through list6 or a list variable created by
you) is selected for the Basic Format dialog box [Table Variable] item. Note that “Table Input” is
the default, so you need to change the [Table Variable] setting in order to generate a table using
list values.

Using Table & Graph
k Table Generation Precautions
• Table generation is performed using the currently selected function that is of the current
function type selected on the Graph Editor window toolbar.
Current function type
• Though the selected current function type is “y=” in the above screenshot, there is no “y=”
type function selected on the Graph Editor window. Tapping # to generate a table when
the above condition exists causes the error message “No Functions Selected” to appear.
• An inequality cannot be used to generate a table.
Editing Number Table Values
Changing an x-value in the number table automatically calculates and displays the
corresponding y-value.
Example: To change the x-value in line 3 of the number table from –1 to –2.5
To generate a table, see “To generate a number table by specifying a range of
values for x using the Table Input dialog box” on page 3-4-2.
u ClassPad Operation
(1) Tap the cell in line 3 of column x of the number
table to select it.
(2) Perform the key operation: z2.5.
• Pressing z causes the Enter Value dialog box
to appear with a minus sign (–) in the [x-value]
input box. Continue with the rest of the key
operation to input the required value, and then

Using Table & Graph
Generating a Number Table and Using It to Draw a Graph
After using a function to generate a number table, you can use the number table values to
draw a graph. You can use number table values to draw two different types of graphs: a
“connect type graph” on which points are connected by lines, or a “plot type graph” on which
points are simply plotted, without being connected.
Example: To generate number tables for the functions y = 3x2 – 2 and y = x2 as the value of
x changes from –3 to 3 in increments of 1, and then use the generated values to
draw a graph
u ClassPad Operation
(1) On the application menu, tap
(2) On the Graph Editor window, input 3x2 – 2 in line y1, and x2 in line y2.
.

Using Table & Graph
(2) Tap a and then [Table to List].
• This displays a dialog box for specifying a variable name.
(3) Enter the name you want to give to the variable, and then tap [OK].
• This assigns the list of data you selected to a variable with the name you specified.
• If the variable name you input has not been used yet for another variable, ClassPad
creates a new variable. With some data types, if the variable name you input is
already being used for an existing variable, the existing variable is replaced by the
new one. For more information, see “Variable Data Types” on page 1-7-3.
Generating a Summary Table
You can use any of the three methods described below to generate a summary table from a
function that has already been saved.
u Automatic x-value settings
This method automatically generates an ideal summary table for the function. This method
uses View Window settings when generating the table.
u Using View Window xmin and xmax values as the x-value settings
With this method, you simply provide the upper and lower x-value limits, and your ClassPad
generates the correct summary table for that range of values. This method uses View
Window settings when generating the table.
20050501
3-4-10
Using Table & Graph
u Specifying all x-values
This method generates a reference table by looking up data stored in a list. A LIST variable is
used to specify the x-values. When using this method, it is up to you specify all of the correct
x-values required to generate the summary table. The summary table will not be generated
correctly if you provide incorrect x-values.
The following shows examples of each of the three available summary table generation
methods by generating a table for the function y = x3 – 3x.

Tip
• You can control whether or not the summary table should include an f Љ(x) line (quadratic
differential component) using the [Summary Table f Љ(x)] setting on the [Cell] tab of the Basic
Format dialog box (page 14-3-3). Turning on the [Summary Table f Љ(x)] option causes both linear
differential components and quadratic differential components to be displayed in the summary
table. Turning it off shows linear differential components only.
k Generating a Summary Table Using Automatically Set x-Values
With this method, the summary table is generated using a range of values from –∞ to ∞.
u ClassPad Operation
(1) On the Basic Format dialog box, select “View Window” for the [Summary Table] setting,
and specify the value you want for [Cell Width Pattern]. This example uses a [Cell
Width Pattern] setting of “4 Cells”.

Using Table & Graph
• Tapping $ here graphs the function using the View Window settings automatically
configured for summary table generation.
Important!
• A monotone increasing function or other special function may not be solvable by the
ClassPad’s internal summary table calculation. If this happens, use the procedure under
“Generating a Summary Table by Specifying All of the Values for x” (page 3-4-14) to
calculate the elements of the summary table. In addition to View Window parameters, you
can also select previously stored list data to specify the range of a summary table. On the
Basic Format dialog box (displayed using the [Setup] menu), select the [Cell] tab, click the
“Summary Table” down arrow button, and then select the name of the list you want to use
on the menu that appears.
• If you draw a graph or generate a summary table while “Undefined” is specified for View
Window parameters, the ClassPad calculates appropriate parameters and configures View
Window settings accordingly.

Using Table & Graph
k Generating a Summary Table by Specifying All of the Values for x
In both of the previous examples, summary table generation is performed using View
Window settings to calculate values for x that satisfy the function fЈ(x) = 0. With this table
generation method, x-values are not calculated automatically.
It is up to you to use a LIST variable to specify all of the x-values that appear in the summary
table.
In the example below, x-values will be stored in a LIST variable named “list1”, which is then
used to generate a summary table.
u ClassPad Operation
(1) On the Basic Format dialog box, select “list1” for the [Summary Table] setting, and
specify the value you want for [Cell Width Pattern]. This example uses a [Cell Width
Pattern] setting of “4 Cells”.
• For details about Basic Format settings, see “14-3 Setup Menu Settings”.
(2) Input the function y = x3 – 3x on the Graph Editor window.
• Generation of summary tables is supported for “y=” type functions only.
• Clear the check boxes of all other functions on the Graph Editor window, if necessary.

• You can also move the pointer to a particular point by inputting coordinates. Pressing
a number key displays a dialog box for inputting coordinates. Input the values you
want and then tap [OK].
• When there are multiple graphs on the Graph window, you can use the up and down
cursor keys or the up and down graph controller arrows to move the pointer between
graphs.
(5) To quit the trace operation, tap
on the icon panel.
Tip
• While the trace pointer is on the window, tapping the displayed coordinate values causes the
coordinate values to appear in the message box. You can then copy the coordinates to the
clipboard.
k Specifying the Format of the Coordinates Displayed by Trace
Check boxes on the Graph Format dialog box (page 14-3-4) let you specify whether you
want to display pointer coordinates only, or pointer coordinates plus the derivative. You can
also turn off the display of the coordinates, if you want.
To do this:
Do this:
Display coordinates and the Select the [Derivative/Slope] check box under
derivative
[Graph Format].
Clear the [Coordinate] check box under [Graph Format].
• Neither coordinates nor the derivative is displayed when
the [Coordinate] check box is cleared, regardless of the
current [Derivative/Slope] setting.
Turn off coordinate display
For details about Graph Format settings, see “14-3 Setup Menu Settings”.

Using Trace
Linking Trace to a Number Table
This section explains how you can link the movement of the trace pointer to the values in the
number table used to draw the graph. This type of operation is called “linked trace”.
• For information about generating a number table and performing other table operations,
see “3-4 Using Table & Graph”.
Example: To link trace to a number table created by graphing y = 3logx
u ClassPad Operation
(1) Display the View Window dialog box, and then configure it with the following
parameters.
xmin = –5, xmax = 5, xscale = 1
ymin = –10, ymax = 10, yscale = 2
(2) Display the Table Input dialog box, and then configure it with the following settings.
Start: 2, End: 9, Step: 1
(3) On the Graph Editor window, input and store y = 3logx into line y1, and then tap #.
• This generates a number table and displays it.
(4) Tap a and then [Link].
• This displays the Graph window and draws the graph, with the trace pointer located
on the graph line. The coordinates of the trace pointer location will also be shown.
• Tapping a cell in the y1 column causes the trace pointer to move the location of the
cell’s value.
The highlighted table value
corresponds to the current
location of the trace pointer on
the graph.
(5) You can perform the following operations while a linked trace operation is in progress.
• You can move the highlighting in the number table by pressing the up and down
cursor keys, or by tapping the cell you want to select. Doing so causes the trace
pointer to jump to the corresponding location on the graph.
(6) To quit the linked trace operation, tap
on the icon panel.

Using Trace
Generating Number Table Values from a Graph
A “graph-to-table” feature lets you extract the coordinate values at the current pointer
location and input them into a table.
Example: Generate a table and graph for the expression y = x3 – 3x, and input the
coordinates for specific points on the graph into a table
Use the initial View Window settings (page 3-2-3).
Configure the Table Input settings shown below.
Start: 1, End: 4, Step: 1
u ClassPad Operation
(1) Input the function y = x3 – 3x on the Graph Editor window.

Using Trace to Read Graph Coordinates
4-4 Using Trace to Read Graph Coordinates
Trace allows you move a pointer along a graph line and display the coordinates at the
current pointer location.
Starting the trace operation causes a crosshair pointer ( ) to appear on the graph. You can
then press the cursor key or tap the graph controller arrows to move the pointer to the
location you want, and read the coordinates that appear on the display.
Using Trace
Example: To graph the function x = 2(y – 1)2 – 2 and then perform a trace operation to read
coordinates
u ClassPad Operation
(1) On the Conics Editor window, input the above equation and then tap ^ to graph it.
(2) Tap [Analysis] and then [Trace], or tap =.
• This causes “Trace” to appear on the Graph window, with a pointer on the graph line.
(3) Press the left or right cursor key, or tap the left or right graph controller arrows.
• This moves the pointer along the graph, and displays
the coordinates of the current pointer location.
• When the location of the pointer approaches the point
of infinity on a parabolic or hyperbolic graph, “Error”
appears in place of the pointer coordinates.
• You can also move the pointer to a particular point by inputting coordinates. Inputting
a value while a trace operation is being performed displays a dialog box for inputting
an x-coordinate. After you enter a value, the pointer jumps to the corresponding
location when you tap [OK].
Here, input a value for yc in the case of a parabola that opens horizontally. Input a
value for xc in the case of a parabola that opens vertically. For any other type of
conics graph, input a value for tc in order to graph in parametric format.
(4) To exit trace, tap
on the icon panel.
Tip
• While tracing, tapping the displayed coordinate values causes the coordinate values to appear in
the message box. You can then copy the coordinates to the clipboard.

5-3 Drawing a 3D Graph
This section explains how to draw a 3D graph, as well as how to change the angle of a graph
and how to rotate a graph.
Configuring 3D Graph View Window Parameters
3D Graph View Window parameters let you specify the maximum and minimum values for
the x-, y- and z-axis. You can also specify the number of lines you would like for drawing the
grid.
• For the xgrid enter the number of lines you would like drawn within the interval from xmin to
xmax. For example, if xmin = −3, xmax = 3 and xgrid= 15, 15 almost vertical lines will be
used to display your graph. The ygrid lines will be almost horizontal.
• After drawing a 3D graph, pressing the = key cycles the 3D Graph [Axes] setting (page
14-3-6) in the following sequence: “Off” → “On” → “Box” → “Off”, and so on.
Before drawing a graph, be sure to first configure View Window parameters as required to
ensure proper display of the graph.
u ClassPad Operation
(1) On the application menu, tap D.
• This starts up the 3D Graph application and displays the initial screen of the active 3D
Graph Editor window.

Important!
• As is evident from the above sample screenshots, the greater the xgrid and ygrid values,
the more detailed the graph. Also note, however, that larger values require more
calculation, which means that the graphing operation takes more time.
• Graphing may be impossible if the xgrid and ygrid values are too small.

Using Trace to Read Graph Coordinates
Starting the trace operation causes a crosshair pointer to appear on the graph. You can then
press a cursor key or tap the graph controller arrows to move the pointer to the location you
want, and read the coordinates that appear on the display. To start the trace operation and
display the pointer, make the 3D Graph window active, and then tap =, or tap [Analysis]
and then [Trace].
• Each time you press the cursor key or tap a graph controller arrow, the pointer moves the
distance specified by the [grid] value on the 3D View Window dialog box.
• Inputting a value while a trace operation is being performed displays a dialog box for
inputting an x- and y-coordinate. Inputting values for each of the coordinates on this dialog
box causes the pointer to jump to the corresponding location when you tap [OK].
To cancel the trace operation, tap
on the icon panel.
Tip
• The initial default setting for the coordinate display is rectangular coordinates (Rectangular).
Tapping O, [Settings], [Setup], and then [3D Format] displays the 3D Format dialog box, which
you can use to select polar coordinates (Polar) or to hide coordinate values entirely.
• For details about the settings you can configure on the 3D Format dialog box, see “3D Format
Dialog Box” on page 14-3-6.
Inserting Text into a 3D Graph Window
You can insert text into a 3D Graph window and delete it as required.
For more information, see “To write text on the Graph window” on page 3-6-2, and “To clear
figures inserted using the Sketch menu” on page 3-6-5.

• This displays the x-, y-, and z-coordinate values on the 3D Graph window.
The message “z-Cal” on the
3D Graph window indicates a
z-Cal operation is in progress.
• Inputting a value while you have a graph displayed, will display a dialog box for
specifying an x- and y-value. You can use the dialog box to specify other x- and
y-values.
• To cancel the z-Cal operation, tap
on the icon panel.

Using List Editor
7-2 Using List Editor
Lists play a very important role in ClassPad statistical calculations. This section provides an
overview of list operations and terminology. It also explains how to use the List Editor, a tool
for creating and maintaining lists.
Basic List Operations
This section provides the basics of list operations, including how to start up the Statistics
application, how to open a list, and how to close a list. It also tells you about list variables
and how to use them.
k What is a list?
A list is a type of data array that makes it possible to manipulate multiple data items as a
group. A list has one column and can contain up to 9,999 rows. You can display up to 99 lists
on the List Editor window.
List operations are performed using the List Editor window, which appears whenever you
start up the Statistics application.
Lists are treated as variables, and like variables, are stored in a folder in the memory and
can be manipulated using the Variable Manager. If a list is cleared from the display, it still
exists in memory as a variable and can be recalled when needed.
Note
• See “Inputting Data into a List” for information about data input (page 7-2-4).
k Using List Variables
The list name is located in the cell at the top of each list. List variable names can be used
inside of calculation formulas, just like any other variable name. The initial default List Editor
window shows six lists (columns), named list1 through list6.
20050501
7-2-2
Using List Editor
k Creating a List
A list starts out with an initial default name like list1, list2, list3, etc. The List Editor allows you
to generate list data (list variables) quickly and easily.
Note
• The List Editor window has six default list variables, named “list1” through “list6”. These lists
are system variables that are defined by the system. For more information about system
variables, see “Variable Types” on page 1-7-2.
• The list name can be changed from its default name, “list1” through “list6”, to a name that
you specify.
u To create a list
(1) On the List Editor window, tap the list name cell at the top of the list you want to name.
This selects the list name cell.
(2) Enter up to eight bytes for the list name you want, and then press E.
• You cannot use any ClassPad reserved words as list variable names. You also cannot
specify a list name that is already used by another list.
Tip
• If you enter a list name that is already used for another list, tapping w displays the contents of
that list. The data of the existing list replaces data you have input on the List Editor window.
• Entering a list name without specifying a folder stores the variable name in the current folder. To
store the variable name in another folder, specify the folder name along with the list name. To
store the variable name of a list named “a” in a folder named “abc”, for example, enter the
following for the list name: abc\a.
k Navigating Around the List Editor Window
The following describes the different techniques you can use to navigate around the List
Editor window and select the cell you want.
u To select a cell
Use the cursor key to move the highlighting up, down, left, and right. The List Editor window
scrolls automatically whenever the highlighting reaches a cell at the edge of the window.
You can also select a particular cell by tapping it with the stylus.
20050501
7-2-3
Using List Editor
u To jump to the first or last line of a list
(1) Select any cell in the list.
(2) On the menu bar, tap [Edit].
(3) Select one of the following commands to perform the type of operation you want.
To do this:
Select this command:
Move the cursor to line 1 of the list
Jump to Top
Move the cursor to the line following the last line that
contains data
• If your list contains 14 entries, then the cursor will move
to the 15 entry.
Jump to Bottom
• If your list contains 9999 entries (the maximum allowed),
then the cursor will move to line 9999.
k Opening a List
Lists are saved in files under their list (variable) names. This means you can close a list and
re-open it later when you need it.
There are two different methods you can use to open a list: using the [Open List] command
and inputting the name of the list in the list name cell of a column.
u To open an existing list using the “Open List” command
(1) On the List Editor window, select any cell in the column where you want the list you will
open to appear.
(2) On the menu bar, tap [Edit] and then [Open List].
(3) In the “list=” box that appears, enter the variable name of the list you want to open, and
then tap w.
Tip
• If you enter a variable name that does not match the names of any of the existing lists in step (3),
a new list is created using that name.

Graphing Single-Variable Statistical Data
7-4 Graphing Single-Variable Statistical Data
Single-variable data is data that consists of a single value. If you are trying to obtain the
average height of the members of a single class, for example, the single variable would be
height.
Single-variable statistics include distributions and sums. You can produce any of the graphs
described below using single-variable data.
Before trying to draw any of the graphs described below, configure the graph setup using the
procedures under “Configuring StatGraph Setups” on page 7-3-2.
Normal Probability Plot (NPPlot)
The normal probability plot plots data against a theoretical normal distribution using a scatter
plot. If the scatter plot is close to a straight line, then the data is approximately normal. A
departure from the straight line indicates a departure from normality.

Tip
• When specifying a list of frequency values, make sure that the list contains positive integers only.
Non-integer values (such as those with a decimal part) cause an error during statistical
calculations.
Modified-Box Plot (ModBox)
The modified box plot uses the “1.5 × IQR Rule” to define limits for “outliers”, which are
values that do not follow the same pattern as the rest of the data.
The letters “IQR” stand for “Interquartile Range”, which is the length of the box of the
MedBox graph described in the preceding section. IQR is calculated as follows:
IQR = Q3 (third quartile) – Q1 (first quartile).
Any value that is 1.5 × IQR below the first quartile or 1.5 × IQR above the third quartile is an
outlier. Outliers are indicated as squares.

Drawing a Logarithmic Regression Graph
Logarithmic regression expresses y as a logarithmic function of x. The normal logarithmic
regression formula is y = a + b · ln(x). If we say that X = ln(x), then this formula corresponds
to the linear regression formula y = a + b·X.

Drawing a Exponential Regression Graph ( y = a·eb x)
Exponential regression can be used when y is proportional to the exponential function of x.
The normal exponential regression formula is y = a · eb·x. If we obtain the logarithms of both
.
sides, we get ln(y) = ln(a) + b x. Next, if we say that Y = ln(y) and A = In(a), the formula

Drawing a Exponential Regression Graph (y = a·bx)
Exponential regression can be used when y is proportional to the exponential function of x.
The normal exponential regression formula in this case is y = a·bx. If we take the natural
logarithms of both sides, we get ln(y) = ln(a) + (ln(b)) · x. Next, if we say that Y = ln(y),
A = ln(a) and B = ln(b), the formula corresponds to the linear regression formula Y = A + B·x.

Description
The Z Test provides a variety of different tests based on standard
deviation based tests. They make it possible to test whether or not a
sample accurately represents the population when the standard
deviation of a population (such as the entire population of a
country) is known from previous tests.
Z Test
Tests a hypothesis relative to a population mean when population
standard deviation is known.
1-Sample Z Test
Compares the population means of two populations when
population standard deviation is known.

Confidence Intervals
7-10 Confidence Intervals
A confidence interval is a range of values that has a specified probability of containing the
parameter being estimated.
A confidence interval that is too broad makes it difficult to get an idea of where the parameter
(actual value) is located. A narrow confidence interval, on the other hand, limits the
parameter range and makes it possible to obtain highly accurate results.
The commonly used confidence levels are 68%, 95% and 99%. Raising the confidence level
broadens the confidence interval. Conversely, lowering the confidence level narrows the
confidence interval, but it also creates the risk that parameters will be missed. With a
confidence interval of 95%, for example, there is a 5% probability that a parameter will not be
within the interval.
The following is a list of confidence intervals and a description of what each obtains.
Confidence Interval Name
Description
Obtains the confidence interval for the population mean when the
population standard deviation is known.
1-Sample Z Interval
Obtains the confidence interval for the difference between population
means when the population standard deviations of two populations are
known.
2-Sample Z Interval
Obtains the confidence interval of the proportion of successes in a
population.
1-Prop Z Interval
2-Prop Z Interval
1-Sample t Interval
Obtains the confidence interval of the difference between the
proportions of successes of two populations.
Obtains the confidence interval for the population mean when the
population standard deviation is unknown.
Obtains the confidence interval for the difference between two
population means when the population standard deviations are
unknown.
2-Sample t Interval
k General Confidence Interval Precautions
If you input a C-Level (confidence level) value in the range of 0 < C-Level < 1, the value you
input is used. To specify a C-Level of 95%, for example, input “0.95”.

Distribution
7-11 Distribution
Though there are a number of different types of distributions, the one most commonly used
is the “Normal Distribution”, which is an essential type of distribution for statistical
calculations. Other types of distributions include the Poisson distribution and geometric
distribution. The type of distribution used depends on the type of data being handled.
The shape of a distribution makes it possible to determine trends in data somewhat. You can
specify a value and calculate the probability that any data value from the distribution is less
than the specified value. In other words, you can determine what percent from the bottom
that data value occurs within the distribution.
The following is a list of distributions and the description of what each one calculates.
Distribution Name
Description

Using the Geometry
Application
The Geometry application allows you to draw and analyze geometric
figures. You can draw a triangle and specify values to change the size
of its sides so they are 3:4:5, and then check the measurement of
each of its angles. Or you can draw a circle and then draw a line that is
tangent to a particular point on the circle. The Geometry application
also includes an animation feature that lets you watch how a figure
changes in accordance with conditions you define.

Geometry Application Overview
8-1 Geometry Application Overview
The Geometry application provides you with the following capabilities.
• The [Draw] menu provides commands for drawing points, lines, polygons, regular polygons,
circles, ellipses, and other geometric figures. You can also draw functions. Once drawn, a
figure can be moved or edited as required. See “Using the Draw Menu” on page 8-2-1 for
more information about this menu.
• The [Draw] menu also includes a [Construct] submenu (page 8-2-12) and a [Special
Shape] submenu (page 8-2-9). You can use items in the [Construct] submenu to add a
midpoint, draw a perpendicular bisector from a given point, create other geometric
constructions and even test geometric theorems. The [Special Shape] submenu allows you
to draw special figures, such as parallelograms, rectangles, kites and many others.
20050501
8-1-2
Geometry Application Overview
• Tapping the toolbar’s right arrow button displays a measurement box. The measurement
box displays information for the items that are selected on the window. For example, you
can view the coordinates of a point, the length and slope of a line segment, the size of an
angle, etc. You can also use the measurement box to change measurements, and to fix
measurements so they cannot be changed by other operations.
• The Animation feature makes it possible to see how a figure changes when a moving point
and its related figures are subjected to certain conditions. A point can move along a line or
curve, and can be anywhere along a line segment, the vertex of a triangle, or the center
point of a circle.

Transformation Using a Matrix or Vector (General Transform)
General Transform lets you input a matrix and/or vector to transform a figure. The result of
the transformation is drawn as a separate figure. For example, if you transform line segment
AB, the line segment A’B’ will be drawn.
You can perform the following types of transformations with General Transform.
• Matrix Transformation: x-axis/y-axis symmetry, rotation, enlargement, reduction, etc.
• Vector Transformation: Vertical and horizontal parallel displacement
k General Transform Example
In this example draw triangle ABC and then draw triangle A’B’C’, which is symmetrical to
ABC about the x-axis. Next, we will draw triangle A’’B’’C’’ by performing a parallel
displacement on triangle A’B’C’ of 1 unit along the x- and y-axis.
20050501
8-2-20
Drawing Figures
Tip
• All of the steps in the procedure below are performed using the Geometry application only. You
can also use the Main application or eActivity application to perform matrix calculations and
obtain the same transformation. You can drag a figure from Geometry to Main, which transforms
values (matrix) and performs calculation, and drag the values (matrix) obtained as a result from
Main to Geometry to draw the transformed figure. After performing the following procedure, see
“Transform Example Using the Main Application” (page 8-2-22).
If you need to, tap [Edit] and then [Clear All] before beginning this example.
u ClassPad Operation
(1) Tap q to turn on coordinate display in the Geometry window.
• You can skip this step if you want, but turning on coordinate display helps you see
how coordinates are changed by the transform operations.
(2) Draw triangle ABC, and then select its three sides.
(3) Tap [Draw], [Construct], and then [General Transform].
• This displays the Transform dialog box.
(4) Since we want a triangle that is symmetrical about the x-axis to the original triangle,
input [[1, 0], [0, –1]].
20050501
8-2-21
Drawing Figures
(5) Tap [OK].
• This draws triangle A’B’C’, which is symmetrical to triangle ABC about the x-axis.
(6) Tap anywhere outside of the triangles to deselect the currently selected triangle. Next,
select triangle A’B’C’.
(7) Tap [Draw], [Construct], and then [General Transform].
(8) Now, to perform parallel displacement on triangle A’B’C’ by 1 unit along the x- and
y-axis, input [1, 1].
20050501
8-2-22
Drawing Figures
(9) Tap [OK].
• This performs the parallel displacement and draws triangle A’’B’’C’’.
Note
• In the above example, we performed the transformation and the parallel displacement
operations separately. You could also perform both operations at the same time, if you want.
To do so, input both the matrix [[1, 0], [0, –1]] and the vector [1, 1] in step (4), and then tap
[OK]. This will produce the result shown in step (9).
k Transform Example Using the Main Application
It might be easier to understand how General Transform works if you use the Main
application (or eActivity application) in combination with the Geometry application. This
makes it possible to perform the following types of operations.
(a) In the Geometry application, you can select a point on the figure obtained using
General Transform and the corresponding point on the original figure (for example,
point A on the original figure and point A’ on the transformed figure), drag them to the
Main application, and display the transformation expression in the Main application.
(b) You can select a triangle in the Geometry application and drag it to the Main application
to convert the triangle to a matrix (2-row × 3-column matrix that shows three vertices).
Conversely, you can drag a 2-row × 3-column matrix input (or produced by a
calculation) in the Main application to the Geometry application and draw the applicable
triangle.
Here we will show actual examples of (a) and (b).
Tip
• All of the above operations can also be performed using the eActivity application instead of the
Main application.
• For information about how to access the Geometry application from the Main application and
about the different operations you can perform between them, see “2-9 Using the Main
Application in Combination with Other Applications”.

(2) Edit the animation following the procedure below.
Steps
This setting specifies how many steps point E takes to
move along line segment AB. The initial default value
is 20.
Animations
• The “E” under “Animations” indicates that point E is
the point moved by the animation. When you are
building multiple animations, a list of all applicable
points appears here.
• Tapping [Remove] deletes the applicable animation.
• “t0” and “t1” specify the range of movement of point
E on line segment AB. The initial default values are
t0 = 0 and t1 = 1.
• During animation, the length of AB is considered to
be one unit. The default values specify that movement of point E is from start point A
(point where length equals 0) up to end point B (point where length equals 1).
• Changing the value of t0 to 0.5, for example, causes point E to move from the middle
of line segment AB to point B.
• Changing the value of t0 to −1, causes point E to begin at a point outside line
segment AB (in this case, at a point a distance equivalent to the length of line
segment AB) and ending with point B.

Using the Geometry Application with Other Applications
8-6 Using the Geometry Application with Other
Applications
You can display the Geometry application from within the eActivity or Main application. This
is a great feature that allows you the visualize the relationship between Algebra and
Geometry. You can, for example, drag a figure from the Geometry window to the eActivity
window to see its corresponding mathematical expression. This section describes how to do
this and other useful things.
Drag and Drop
When you open Geometry within another application, you can drag and drop information
between the two application windows.
Example 1: To drag a circle from the Geometry window to the eActivity window

Using the Geometry Application with Other Applications
Copy and Paste
In addition to drag and drop, you can also copy figures or columns from an animation table,
and paste them into another application.
Dynamically Linked Data
Another nice feature of the ClassPad is the ability to create a dynamic link between a
geometric figure and its equation in the eActivity window. When a geometric figure is
dynamically linked to an equation, you will notice a link symbol ( ) in front of the equation in
the eActivity window. Changing the graph in the Geometry window will automatically update
the linked data in the eActivity window. Also, changing the data in the eActivity window will
update the graph in the Geometry window. Note that this feature is available only within the
eActivity application.
Example of dynamically linked data
For information on how to create a dynamic link between a geometric figure and its equation
in the eActivity window, see “Inserting a Geometry Link Row” on page 10-3-12.

9-2 Using Numeric Solver
Numeric Solver lets you obtain the value of any variable in an equation, without the need to
transform or simplify the equation.
Example: t is the time it would take for an object thrown straight up with initial velocity v to
reach height h.
Use the formula below to calculate the initial velocity v for a height of h = 14
meters and a time of t = 2 seconds. Gravitational acceleration is g = 9.8 m/s2.
h = vt – 1/2 gt2
u ClassPad Operation
(1) Tap m to display the application menu, and then tap N.
• This starts up the Numeric Solver application.
(2) k 9 V
(3) Input the equation as it is written, and then tap w.
h=vt-(b/c)gt{cw
• If you do not input an equal sign (=), the ClassPad assumes that the entire expression
is on the left side of the equal sign and that the right side is zero. Inputting more than
one equal sign causes an error.
(4) On the list of expression variables that appears, enter values for the variables you
want.
bewawcwj.iw
You can also specify upper and lower limit values for the solution.
• An error occurs if there is no solution within the range of values you specify.

Using Numeric Solver
(6) Tap 1, or tap [Solve] and then [Execute] on the Numeric Solver menu.
• The [Left–Right] value shows the difference between the left side and right side
results.
Tip
• Numeric Solver solves functions by calculating approximations based on Newton’s method.
This means that solutions may include errors that are not actual solutions. The accuracy of
solutions can be determined by viewing the [Left–Right] value. The closer the [Left–Right]
value is to zero, the more accurate the results.
• If ClassPad judges that the displayed results are not converging sufficiently, it displays the
message “Did not converge. Do you wish to continue a calculation?” Tap [Yes] to continue, or
[No] to cancel the calculation.

eActivity Application Status Bar
The information that appears in the eActivity application status bar is same as the Main
application status bar information. See “Using Main Application Modes” on page 2-1-4.
eActivity Key Operations
In the eActivity application, the cursor key, K key, and E key operate differently than
they do in other modes.
Cursor Key
• The cursor key moves the cursor around the eActivity window.
• Though you can always move the cursor up and down, you may not always be able to
move it left and right. The left and right cursor key operations move the cursor left and right
in the current row, but for the most part they cannot be used to move the cursor between
rows of different types.
• Up and down cursor operations move the cursor between rows, regardless of type.
K Key
• Pressing the K key deletes the character to the left of the current cursor position.
E Key
• Pressing the E key while the cursor is in a text row inserts a carriage return and adds a
new line.
• Pressing the E key while the cursor is in a calculation row re-calculates the expression of
the current calculation row as well as all of the calculation rows below the current row.
• Pressing the E key while the cursor is in a Geometry Link row re-calculates the data in
the link and updates the corresponding graph in the Geometry window.

Managing eActivity Files
This section covers file management operations like save, open, delete, rename, move, etc.
Performing one of these operations displays a Files dialog box like the ones shown below.
The buttons that appear in the dialog box depend on the operation you performed to display
the Files dialog box.
Tap [File] and then [Open].
Tap {.
Tap [File] and then [Save].
(Includes [Save] button.)
(Includes [Open] button.)
(Includes [Save] and [Open]
buttons.)
The operations you can perform on the Files dialog box are identical to those of the
Geometry application Files dialog box, except that eActivity file names can contain up to 20
characters (bytes). For details, see “8-7 Managing Geometry Application Files”.
Important!
• eActivity files are stored in a memory area that is separate from that used for storing other
types of data (variable data, Geometry data, Presentation data, etc.) Because of this, you
cannot access eActivity files data using the Variable Manager. You have to use the eActivity
application to perform eActivity file management operations.
20050501
10-3-1
Inserting Data into an eActivity
10-3 Inserting Data into an eActivity
The following describes the four types of data you can insert into an eActivity.
Text Row
A text row can be
used to insert text
data and
mathematical
expression text in
natural format. You
can also bold the text
in a text row.
Application data strip
The application data strip lets
you display a window from a
ClassPad application (Main,
Graph & Table, Geometry, etc.)
and use the window to create
data, which is inserted into the
eActivity.
Calculation Row
Use the calculation row
to insert any of the
calculation operations
that are available in the
Main application.
Geometry Link Row
Use this row to insert data
that is linked with a Geometry
window figure.
Inserting a Text Row
Text rows make it possible to display and edit text directly in the eActivity window. Text rows
can contain multiple lines, as well as mathematical expressions. A mathematical expression
contained in a text row is not evaluated. Pressing E, while in the Text Input mode, will
advance you to the next line without displaying results. Individual text rows can scroll
horizontally, but not vertically. The entire eActivity page can be scrolled vertically.
Tip
• You can also use the ) soft keyboard to input mathematical expressions into a text row.
u To select the input mode
(1) On the eActivity window toolbar, tap the fourth button from the left (u/
) to toggle
the input mode between Text Input and Calculation Input.
u button indicates the Text Input
mode is selected.

Tip
• The toolbar button for switching between input modes appears as uwhile the cursor is located
in a text row, and while the cursor is located in a calculation row.
u To insert a Text Row
(1) Tap
to change a row to the Text Input mode.
• If the cursor is located in a line that already contains input data, place the cursor at
the end of the line, tap [Insert] and then [Text Row]. This inserts a text row on the next
line.
(2) Use the soft keyboard or keypad keys to input the text you want.
• You can use the alphabet (abc) keyboard to input alphabetic characters.
• Use the other keyboards to input mathematical expressions, commands, etc. Note
that any mathematical expressions or commands you input into a text row are treated
as text. They are not executed.
• Note that word wrap is not performed when inputting text into a text row. Because of
this, you need to tap w to input carriage returns as required.
u To bold text
(1) Move the cursor to the line of text you want to bold.
(2) Tap
.
(3) To unbold the text, tap
again.

Inserting Data into an eActivity
Inserting a Calculation Row
Calculation rows let you perform calculations in an eActivity. When you input a mathematical
expression, the output expression (result) appears, right justified, in the next line. An
eActivity that contains only calculation rows looks very much like the Main application
window. Note that you can edit the input expression, but not the output expression (result).
You can also copy, paste, drag and drop input and output expressions. Both the input and
output rows scroll independently in a horizontal direction.
Tip
• If the input expression of a calculation row is not a valid expression, the row will contain only the
input expression, without an output expression.
u To select the input mode
(1) On the eActivity window toolbar, tap the fourth button from the left (u/
) to toggle
the input mode between Text Input and Calculation Input.

• Notes does not support 2D math symbols.
• The Notes application is available only in eActivity.
Moving Information Between eActivity and Applications
An eActivity is like an interactive notebook or textbook that allows you to explore the world of
mathematics right on the page. You can take almost any expression from an eActivity page
and send it to another application. You can also take information from an application and
insert it into an eActivity page.
k Cut, Copy, and Paste
You can cut, copy, or paste text or mathematical expressions between the eActivity and any
other application. You can also cut, copy, and paste text and mathematical expressions
inside an eActivity.
Depending on the application, you can cut or copy, and paste text and mathematical
expression data into an eActivity. For example, you can copy a line in the Geometry
measurement box and paste it into an eActivity as an expression.

Inserting Data into an eActivity
k Drag and Drop
You can drag and drop text or mathematical expressions between eActivity and other
applications. You can also drag and drop within an eActivity. Depending on the application,
you can drag text and mathematical expressions from an eActivity to another application
window. For example, you can drag an equation from the eActivity directly onto a graph
window.
(1) Graph strip is
expanded in the lower
window.
(2) Expression is
selected in the
eActivity.
(3) Expression has
been dragged into
the graph window.
Tip
• For details about what you can drag and drop between the eActivity window and Geometry
window, see “8-6 Using the Geometry Application with Other Applications”.
20050501
10-3-12
Inserting Data into an eActivity
Inserting a Geometry Link Row
A Geometry Link row dynamically links data in the Geometry window with the corresponding
data in an eActivity. You can display lines and figures drawn in Geometry as values and
mathematical expressions in a Geometry Link row.
Dragging a line or figure from the Geometry window to a Geometry Link row in an eActivity
converts the line or figure to its mathematical expression. This expression is interlinked with
its Geometry window figure, so modifying one causes a corresponding change in the other.
Example of inserting a Geometry Link row
Modifying the equation in a Geometry Link updates the figure in the Geometry window.
Conversely, changing the shape, position, or some other parameter of the figure on the
Geometry window updates the equation in the Geometry Link.
u To input a Geometry Link row
Example: To drag one side of a triangle drawn on the Geometry window and link it to an
eActivity
(1) Open the eActivity application. Next, tap [Insert] and then [Geometry] to insert a
Geometry strip.
(2) On the Geometry window that appears in the lower half of the screen, draw a triangle.
• For details about Geometry window operations, see Chapter 8.
(3) Tap the eActivity window just below the Geometry strip.
• This makes eActivity the active window.
20050501
10-3-13
Inserting Data into an eActivity
(4) Tap [Insert] and then [Geometry Link].
• This inserts a Geometry Link row in the next line.
Geometry Link row
Symbol
(5) Tap the Geometry window to make it active.
(6) Tap one side of the triangle to select it, and then drag it to the link symbol in the
eActivity window.
• This inputs the equation of the line that represents the side of the triangle into the link.
• Modifying the equation in the Geometry Link row and pressing E causes a corre-
sponding change in the Geometry window (lower right screenshot).
• The example below shows how the isosceles triangle ABC (CA = BC) changes when
the equation in the Geometry Link row is changed from y = 1.91x + 0.983 to y = x + 2.
• Drag the stylus across
1.91x + 0.983.
• Input x + 2.
• Press E.
Tip
• Dragging a line or figure from the Geometry window to a text row or calculation row in an
eActivity also converts the figure to its value or equation. In this case, however, data in the text
row or calculation row is not interlinked with the Geometry window figure.
• Pressing E after changing data in a Geometry Link updates the corresponding figure in the
Geometry window.
• Changing the figure in the Geometry window will cause the linked data in an eActivity to update
accordingly.

Presentation File Transfer Precautions
11-7 Presentation File Transfer Precautions
Note the following important precautions when transferring a presentation file to another
ClassPad unit or to a computer.
• A presentation file is actually a kind of user folder (called a “presentation folder”) that
contains the images that make up the presentation. Every time you create a presentation
the Presentation application also generates files for managing it, and stores the files in a
folder named “Presystm”.
• Whenever you transfer a presentation to another ClassPad unit or a computer, be sure to
include both its presentation folder and the “Presystm” folder. The presentation will not be
able to play correctly on the destination device if you do not transfer the proper folders
correctly.
Caution
• Transferring a “Presystm” folder from one ClassPad unit to another causes the “Presystm”
folder on the receiving unit to be replaced by the received “Presystm” folder. This effectively
deletes all of the presentation files currently in the memory of the receiving unit. If you do
not want to lose your Presentation data, be sure to back the contents of your ClassPad
memory before receiving a presentation folder or “Presystm” folder from another source.

also cause the button to disappear).
button on the right side of the status bar (which will
Example
k Using the Wait Command
The syntax of the Wait command is: WaitⅪ<seconds>. When program execution reaches
the Wait command, it pauses for the specified number of seconds and then resumes
automatically. If you do not specify a value for the number of seconds, execution remains
paused until you tap the screen or press a key.
Tip
• To input the Pause or Wait command, tap [Ctrl] on the menu bar, tap [Control], and then select
the command you want.
Terminating Program Execution
Pressing c while a program is running terminates the program.
Tip
• Pressing c does not terminate the program if program execution is already paused by the
Pause command (indicated by

Creating a New Program
Configuring Parameter Variables and Inputting Their Values
If you input the names of variables used in a program into the parameter variable box when
inputting or editing a program on the Program Editor window, you will be able to input values
for the variables on the Program Loader window when you run the program.
Example
Parameter variable box
Indicates variables named “A” and
“B” are used within the program.
When running the program, inputting
values for “A” and “B” calculates the
total of the two values.
Program Input
Parameter value input box
Inputting 1, 2 before running the program assigns
A = 1 and B = 2.
Executing the program produces the result
A + B = 1 + 2 = 3.
Program Loader window
Tip
• When running a program that includes parameter variables, be sure to correctly specify the
values of the parameters. An error will occur if the number of values you input is not consistent
with the number of parameter variables.
20050501
12-2-8
Creating a New Program
k Local Variables
A local variable is a variable that can be created temporarily and used in a program. Use the
Local command to create a local variable.
Syntax: LocalⅪ<variable name> (Ⅺ indicates a space.)
Example: Local abc
The above creates a local variable named “abc”.
Tip
• Local variables are deleted automatically after execution of a program is complete.
• Note that local variables are stored in their own special folder, so local variable names do not
affect the names of other variables in ClassPad memory. Because of this, you do not need to
worry if you assign a local variable a name that is already being used by another type of variable.
• Variables that are specified as parameter variables within a program are automatically treated as
local variables. Variables created with the Define command are also automatically treated as
local variables.
Using Subroutines
Including the name of another program file inside of a program causes execution to jump to
the specified program file. The program that execution jumps from is called the “main
program”, while the program to which execution jumps is called a “subroutine”.
When program execution returns to the main program, it resumes from the point immediately
after the command that jumped to the subroutine.
Tip
• Note that any program can be a subroutine. The thing that makes any program a subroutine is
being jumped to from another program.

Subroutines can be used in a variety of ways to help make calculations easier. Let’s say you
have a formula that needs to be calculated more than once in a program, or that needs to be
calculated by a number of different programs. Simply store the formula as a separate
program file (subroutine), and then you can jump to the program file that contains the
formula whenever you need it.

Creating a New Program
Example 1: Jumping to a subroutine without assigning values to the subroutine’s parameter
variables
Main Program
Input A
Input B
Sub1( ) ← Jumps to subroutine program “Sub1”
Print C
Subroutine (Program Name: “Sub1”)
A+B S C
Return
Example 2: Jumping to a subroutine while assigning values to the subroutine’s parameter
variables
• In this example, the main program assigns values to parameter variable “E” in a subroutine
named “Sub1”, and to parameter variables “F” and “G” in a subroutine named “Sub2”.
Main Program
Input A
Input B
Sub1(A)
← Assigns the value of main program variable “A” to the parameter variable (E) in
subroutine “Sub1”, and then jumps to subroutine “Sub1”.
Print C
Sub2(A,B) ← Assigns the values of main program variables “A” and “B” to the parameter
variables (F and G) in subroutine “Sub2”, and then jumps to subroutine “Sub2”.
Print D
Subroutine Program 1 (Program Name “Sub1”)
E × 2 S C ← Requires input of variable name E into the parameter variable box.
Return
Subroutine Program 2 (Program Name “Sub2”)
F + G S D ← Requires input of variable names F and G into the parameter variable box.
Return
Tip
• The subroutine does not need to be located in the current folder. To specify a subroutine named
“Sub1” that is located in a folder named “f1”, for example, you would specify “f1\Sub1()”.

Debugging a Program
12-3 Debugging a Program
A programming error that causes a program to behave in a manner not intended by the writer
of the program is called a “bug”. Finding and eliminating such errors is called “debugging the
program”.
Any of the following conditions can indicate that your program has a bug and requires
debugging.
• If an error message appears when you try to save the program
• If an error message appears when you try to run the program
• When a program produces some abnormal or unexpected result
Debugging After an Error Message Appears
When an error occurs, a dialog box appears to explain the cause of the error. Carefully read
the text of the error message and then tap its [OK] button. This closes the dialog box and
positions the cursor on at the location where the error occurred. Make the necessary
corrections in accordance with the explanation provided by the error message.
Tip
• If the cause of the error cannot be specified for some reason, tapping [OK] on the error message
dialog box displays the Program Loader window, without positioning the cursor at the location of
the error.
• In the case of a program for which editing is prohibited (a program for which “EXE” is indicated as
the variable data type), tapping [OK] on the error message dialog box displays the Program
Loader window, without positioning the cursor at the location of the error.
Debugging a Program Following Unexpected Results
If execution of a program produces unexpected or abnormal results, carefully read through
the program and correct errors as required.
The following commands can come in handy when debugging a program to locate
unexpected results.
To do this:
Execute this command:
Edit - Search - Jump to Top
Edit - Search - Jump to Bottom
Move the cursor to the beginning of the program
Move the cursor to the end of the program

Debugging a Program
Modifying an Existing Program to Create a New One
You can use the procedure described below to recall an existing program, modify it, and then
run the result as a new program. This helps reduce key input requirements.
The following shows how to modify the “OCTA” program we created on page 12-2-1 to
handle tetrahedrons.
Example: To create a program named “TETRA” that calculates the surface areas (cm2) and
volumes (cm3) of three regular tetrahedrons, the lengths of whose sides are 7, 10,
and 15 cm
A
The following formulas calculate the surface area S and volume V of a
regular tetrahedron for which the length of one side A is known.
2
S = 3 A2, V = –––– A3
12
The following is the program required for this example.
Length of One Side A ........ Input A
Surface Area S .................. Print approx( (3) × A^2)
Volume V ........................... Print approx( (2) ÷ 12 × A^3)
The following is the “OCTA” program (page 12-2-1).
Length of One Side A ........ Input A
Surface Area S .................. Print approx(2 ×
(3) × A^2)
Volume V ........................... Print approx( (2) ÷ 3 × A^3)
A comparison of the two programs indicates that the following modifications of the “OCTA”
program will produce a program that performs the calculations required by this example.
• Delete “2×” (underlined with a wavy line above).
• Change 3 to 12 (underlined with double lines above).

User-defined Functions
12-5 User-defined Functions
ClassPad lets you configure calculation operations as user-defined functions, which can then
be used inside of numeric expressions just like its built-in functions. User-defined functions
can also be called up in other applications.
• The Program Editor window is used for creating user-defined functions.
• User-defined functions are stored in ClassPad memory as “Function” type variables.
Naming, storage, and folder rules are identical to those for user variables.
Creating a New User-defined Function
This procedure is identical to that for storing a program.
• Anything you enter on the Program Editor window is stored as a user variable.

Program Command Reference
Break
Syntax: Break
Function: This command terminates a loop and causes execution to advance to the next
command following the loop process.
Description
• Break terminates a loop and causes execution to advance to the next command following
the loop process.
• Break can be used inside of a For, Do, While, or Switch process.
Define

name>...]]) =<expression>
• Items inside of brackets ([ ]) can be skipped.
Creates a user-defined function.
Function:
Description: See page 12-5-2.
Do~LpWhile
Syntax: Do
[<statement>] …
LpWhileⅪ<expression>
<expression> is a condition that evaluates to true or false.
Function: The specified statements are repeated as long as the condition is true.
Description
• The statements between Do~LpWhile are repeated as long as the condition is true. When
the condition becomes false, execution jumps to the next command after the LpWhile
command.
• Since the condition comes after LpWhile, the condition is not evaluated until the end of the
loop is reached.
• You can use a multi-statement command (:) in place of the carriage return to separate
statements.
• It is always a bad idea to use the Goto command to exit a Do~LpWhile loop. Not only is it
poor programming, it can cause problems due to improper termination of internal
processes used by the loop operation.

Program Command Reference
For~To~(Step~)Next
Syntax:
ForⅪ<expression 1>S<control variable name>ⅪTo Ⅺ<expression 2>[StepⅪ<expression 3>]
[<statement>] …
Next
<expression 1> is the initial value, <expression 2> is the end value, and <expression 3> is
the step.
Function
Anything between the For command and the Next command is repeated for a count starting
with the initial value of the control variable and ending when the control variable reaches the
end value. Each pass causes the value of the control variable to be changed by the value
specified by the step value. The loop is terminated whenever the control variable value
exceeds the end value.
Description
• 1 is used for the step if a step value is not specified.
• The initial value can be less than the end value, as long as a positive value is specified for
the step. In this case, the value of the control value is increased by the step with each
pass.
• The initial value can be greater than the end value, as long as a negative value is specified
for the step. In this case, the value of the control value is decreased by the step with each
pass.
• You can use a multi-statement command (:) in place of the carriage return to separate
statements.
• It is always a bad idea to use the Goto command to exit a For~Next loop. Not only is it
poor programming, it can cause problems due to improper termination of internal
processes used by the loop operation.
Goto~Lbl
Syntax: GotoⅪ<label name>
LblⅪ<label name>
Function: This command causes program execution to jump to a specific location.
Description
• <label name> is a text string that is subject to the same rules as variable names.
• Goto and Lbl are used in pairs. Program execution jumps from Goto to the Lbl with the
same label name. A single Lbl can be used as the jump destination of multiple Goto
commands.
• This command can be used to loop back to the beginning of a program or to jump to any
location within the program.
• An error occurs if ClassPad is unable to find a Lbl with the same label as Goto.
• Note that the # command cannot be used in a label name.

numbers.
Function: This command executes one of a series of processes based on the value of
<expression>.
Description
• This command executes the statement following the Case expression that matches the
Switch expression.
• If there is no matching Case expression, the statement following Default is executed. If
there is no Default specified, a non-match jumps to the statement following SwitchEnd.
• You can use a multi-statement command (:) in place of the carriage return to separate
statements.
• Switch~SwitchEnd can be exited using the Break command, Return command, or Goto
command.
Wait
Syntax: WaitⅪ[<expression>]
Function: This command pauses program execution, and then restarts it after the number
of seconds specified by the expression passes.
Description
• If you do not specify any expression, program execution is paused until you tap the screen,
or press a key.
• The maximum valid specification for <expression> is 360 seconds (six minutes). Specifying
a value greater than 360 causes program execution to resume after 360 seconds,
regardless of the specified value.
• The ClassPad’s Auto Power Off function is disabled during a pause caused by the Wait
command.
• If the Auto Power Off trigger time is reached during the pause, program execution resumes.

Program Command Reference
While~WhileEnd
Syntax: WhileⅪ<expression>
[<statement>] …
WhileEnd
<expression> is a condition that evaluates to true or false.
Function: The specified statements are repeated as long as the condition is true.
Description
• The statements between While~WhileEnd are repeated as long as the condition is true.
When the condition becomes false, execution jumps to the next command after the
WhileEnd command.
• Since the condition comes after While, the condition is evaluated before the loop is started.
• You can use a multi-statement command (:) in place of the carriage return to separate
statements.
• It is always a bad idea to use the Goto command to exit a While~WhileEnd loop. Not only
is it poor programming, it can cause problems due to improper termination of internal
processes used by the loop operation.

k Tapping a cell and then inputting something from the keypad
• This enters the “quick” edit mode, indicated by a dashed blinking cursor. Anything you input
with the keypad will be displayed in the edit box.
• If the cell you selected already contains something, anything you input with the quick edit
mode replaces the existing content with the new input.
• In the quick editing mode, pressing the cursor key registers your input and moves the cell
cursor in the direction of the cursor key you press.
• Note that you can change to the standard edit mode at any time during the quick edit mode
by tapping inside of the edit box.
Basic Data Input Steps
The following are the basic steps you need to perform whenever inputting or editing cell
data.
u ClassPad Operation
(1) Enter the edit mode.
• Either tap a cell (quick edit), or tap a cell and then tap the edit box (standard edit).
• See “Selecting Cells” on page 13-3-5 for more information about selecting cells.
(2) Input the data you want.
• You can input data using the keypad, the [Action] menu, and the input toolbar. See
the following sections for more information.
(3) After you are finished, finalize the input using one of the procedures below.
If you are using this edit mode: Do this to finalize your input:
Standard Edit
• Tap the s button next to the edit box.
• Press the E key.
Quick Edit
• Press a cursor key.
• Or tap the s button next to the edit box.
• Or press the E key.
• This causes the entire spreadsheet to be re-calculated.
• If you want to cancel data input without saving your changes, tap the S button next to
the edit box or tap
on the icon panel.
Important!
• You can also finalize input into a cell by tapping a different cell, as long as the first
character in the edit box is not an equal sign (=). Tapping another cell while the first
character in the edit box is an equal sign (=) inserts a reference to the tapped cell into the
edit box. See “Inputting a Cell Reference” on page 13-4-6 for more information.
20050501

Editing Cell Contents
Inputting a Formula
A formula is an expression that the Spreadsheet application calculates and evaluates when
you input it, when data related to the formula is changed, etc.
A formula always starts with an equal sign (=), and can contain any one of the following.
• Values
• Mathematical expressions
• Cell references
• ClassPad soft keyboard functions (cat page of keyboard)
• [Action] menu functions (page 13-6-4)
Formulas are calculated dynamically whenever related values are changed, and the latest
result is always displayed in the spreadsheet.
The following shows a simple example where a formula in cell B5 calculates the average of
the values in cells B1 through B3.
Important!
• Tapping another cell while the first character in the edit box is an equal sign (=) inserts a
reference to the tapped cell into the edit box. Dragging across a range of cells will input a
reference to the selected range. See “Inputting a Cell Reference” on page 13-4-6 for more
information.
• When a cell is set to text data type, formulas are displayed as text when they are not
preceded by an equal sign (=).
• When a cell is set to calculation data type, an error occurs when a formula is not preceded
by an equal sign (=).
u To use the soft keyboards to input a function
Example: To input the following
Cell A1: x^row(A1)
Cell B1: diff(A1, x, 1)
(1) Tap cell A1 to select it.

Editing Cell Contents
Inputting a Cell Reference
A cell reference is a symbol that references the value of one cell for use by another cell. If
you input “=A1 + B1” into cell C2, for example, the Spreadsheet will add the current value of
cell A1 to the current value of cell B1, and display the result in cell C2.
There are two types of cell references: relative and absolute. It is very important that you
understand the difference between relative and absolute cell references. Otherwise, your
spreadsheet may not produce the results you expect.
k Relative Cell Reference
A relative cell reference is one that changes according to its location on the spreadsheet.
The cell reference “=A1” in cell C2, for example, is a reference to the cell located “two
columns to the left and one cell up” from the current cell (C2, in this case). Because of this, if
we copy or cut the contents of cell C2 and paste them into cell D12, for example, the cell
reference will change automatically to “=B11”, because B11 is two columns to the left and
one cell up from cell D12.
Be sure to remember that relative cell references always change dynamically in this way
whenever you move them using cut and paste, or drag and drop.
Important!
• When you cut or copy a relative cell reference from the edit box, it is copied to the
clipboard as text and pasted “as-is” without changing. If “=A1” is in cell C2 and you copy
“=A1” from the edit box and paste it into cell D12, for example, D12 will also be “=A1”.
k Absolute Cell References
An absolute cell reference is the one that does not change, regardless of where it is located
or where it is copied to or moved to. You can make both the row and column of a cell
reference absolute, or you can make only the row or only the column of a cell reference
absolute, as described below.
This cell reference:
Does this:
$A$1
$A1
Always refers to column A, row 1
Always refers to column A, but the row changes dynamically when
moved, as with a relative cell reference
A$1
Always refers to row 1, but the column changes dynamically when
moved, as with a relative cell reference
Let’s say, for example, that a reference to cell A1 is in cell C1. The following shows what
each of the above cell references would become if the contents of cell C1 were copied to cell
D12.
$A$1 → $A$1
$A1 → $A12
A$1 → B$1
20050501
13-4-7
Editing Cell Contents
u To input a cell reference
(1) Select the cell where you want to insert the cell reference.
(2) Tap inside the edit box.
(3) If you are inputting new data, input an equal sign (=) first. If you are editing existing
data, make sure that its first character is an equal sign (=).
• Inputting a cell name like “A3” without an equal sign (=) at the beginning will cause
“A” and “3” to be input as text, without referencing the data in cell A3.
Incorrect cell reference (no “=” sign)
Correct cell reference
(4) Tap the cell you want to reference (which will input its name into the edit box
automatically) or use the editing toolbar and keypad to input its name.
Important!
• The above step always inputs a relative cell reference. If you want to input an
absolute cell reference, use the stylus or cursor keys to move the editing cursor to the
appropriate location, and then use the editing toolbar to input a dollar ($) symbol. See
“Inputting a Cell Reference” on page 13-4-6 for more information about relative and
absolute cell references.
(5) Repeat step (4) as many times as necessary to input all of the cell references you
want. For example, you could input “=A1 + A2”. You can also input a range of cells into
the edit box by dragging across a group of cells.
(6) After your input is the way you want, tap the s button next to the edit box or press the
E key to save it.

Inputting a Constant
A constant is data whose value is defined when it is input. When you input something into a
cell for which text is specified as the data type without an equal sign (=) at the beginning, a
numeric value is treated as a constant and non-numeric values are treated as text.
Note the following examples for cells of u type:
This input:
sin(1)

And is treated as:
A constant value
A constant value

• When text is too long to fit in a cell, it spills over into the next cell to the right if the
neighboring cell is empty. If the cell to the right is not empty, the text is cut off and “...” is
displayed to indicate that non-displayed text is contained in the cell.
Using the Fill Sequence Command
The Fill Sequence command lets you set up an expression with a variable, and input a range
of values based on the calculated results of the expression.

Using Drag and Drop to Copy Cell Data within a Spreadsheet
You can also copy data from one cell to another within a spreadsheet using drag and drop. If
the destination cell already contains data, it is replaced with the newly dropped data.
• When performing this operation, you can drag and drop between cells, or from one location
to another within the edit box only. You cannot drag and drop between cells and the edit
box.
Important!
• Remember that moving cell data within a spreadsheet using drag and drop will cause all
relative cell references in the data to be changed accordingly. See “Inputting a Cell
Reference” on page 13-4-6 for more information.
u To drag and drop between cells within a spreadsheet
(1) Use the stylus to select the cell or range of cells you want to copy so it is highlighted.
Lift the stylus from the screen after you select the cell(s).
• See “Selecting Cells” on page 13-3-5 for information about selecting cells.

3 Power Supply
Your ClassPad is powered by four AAA-size batteries LR03 (AM4).
The battery level indicator is displayed in the status bar.
....................... full
....................... medium
....................... low
Important!
• Be sure to replace batteries as soon as possible whenever the battery level indicator
shows
(medium).
• Replace batteries immediately whenever the battery level indicator shows
(low). At this
level, you will not be able to perform data communication or perform other functions.
• The following message indicates that batteries are about to go dead. Replace batteries
immediately whenever this message appears.
Batteries are extremely low!
Replace batteries immediately!
If you try to continue using the calculator, it will automatically turn off. You will not be able to
turn power back on until you replace batteries.
Be sure to replace batteries at least once every one year, no matter how much you use the
ClassPad during that time.
The batteries that come with this ClassPad discharge slightly during shipment and storage.
Because of this, they may require replacement sooner than the normal expected battery life.
Backing Up Data
Your ClassPad comes bundled with a special USB cable and ClassPad Manager software,
which you can use to backup data to a computer running Windows® 98SE, Me, XP, or 2000.
• The ClassPad Manager software is on the CD-ROM.
Important!
• When battery power is very low, your ClassPad may not turn back on when you press its
o key. If this happens, immediately replace its batteries.

Precautions:
Incorrectly using batteries can cause them to burst or leak, possibly damaging the interior of
the ClassPad. Note the following precautions:
• Be sure that the positive (+) and negative (–) poles of each battery are facing in the proper
directions.
• Never mix batteries of different types.
• Never mix old batteries and new ones.
• Never leave dead batteries in the battery
compartment.
• Remove the batteries if you do not plan
to use the ClassPad for long periods.
• Never try to recharge the batteries
supplied with the ClassPad.
• Do not expose batteries to direct heat, let them become shorted, or try to take them apart.
(Should a battery leak, clean out the battery compartment of the ClassPad immediately,

Number of Digits and Precision
4 Number of Digits and Precision
k Number of Digits
Standard Mode
The following applies when the check box next to the “Decimal Calculation” item on the
Basic Format dialog box is not selected.
• Up to 611 digits are stored in memory for integer values.
• Decimal values up to 15 digits are converted to fraction format and saved in memory. When
a mathematical expression cannot be converted to fraction format, the result is displayed in
decimal format.
• Values stored in memory are displayed as-is, regardless of how [Display] settings
(Normal 1, Normal 2, Fix 0 – 9, Sci 0 – 9) are configured (except when a decimal value is
displayed).
Decimal Mode
The following applies when the check box next to the “Decimal Calculation” item on the
Basic Format dialog box is selected.
• Values stored in Ans memory have the same number of digits as they have when
displayed. A value that is assigned to a variable has the same number of digits as defined
for Standard mode values.
• Values are displayed in accordance with how [Display] settings (Normal 1, Normal 2,
Fix 0 – 9, Sci 0 – 9) are configured.
• Displayed values are rounded to the appropriate number of decimal places.
• Some applications store values using a mantissa up to 15 digits long and a 3-digit
exponent.
k Precision
• Internal calculations are performed using 15 digits.
• The error for a single mathematical expression (Decimal mode calculation error) is 1 at
the 10th digit. In the case of exponential display, calculation error is 1 at the least
significant digit. Note that performing consecutive calculations causes error to be
cumulative. Error is also cumulative for internal consecutive calculations performed for:
x
^(xy),
, x!, nPr, nCr, etc.
• Error is cumulative and tends to be larger in the vicinity of a function’s singular point(s) and
inflection point(s), and the vicinity of zero. With sinh(x) and tanh(x), for example, the
inflection point occurs when x = 0. In this vicinity, error is cumulative and precision is poor.

Too Many eActivity Files
The data communication operation you are
trying to perform is not possible because
there are too many eActivity files.
k Low Memory Error Processing
An error occurs on the ClassPad if it is unable to reserve enough work area memory to
perform a particular operation. When a low memory error occurs, any application in use at
that point is shut down and an error message like the one shown below appears.
Tapping the [OK] button clears the error.
Important!
• To avoid loss of data, you should make it a regular habit to periodically perform the save
operation.
You may lose some of the data you are inputting with an application that shuts down due to a
low memory error. When the low memory error occurs while you are using the eActivity
application to create data, for example, any unsaved data you have input is lost.
