Note!
• To return the calculation mode and setup to the initial defaults shown
below, press A B 2(Mode) <.
Calculation Mode: COMP
Angle Unit: Deg
Exponential Display Format: Norm 1
Complex Number Display Format: a+b i
Fraction Display Format: a b/c
• Mode indicators appear in the upper part of the display, except for the
BASE indicators, which appear in the exponent part of the display.

E-8
• You cannot make changes to the angle unit or other display format (Disp)
settings while the calculator is in the BASE Mode.
• The COMP, CMPLX, SD, and REG modes can be used in combination
with the angle unit settings.
• Be sure to check the current calculation mode (SD, REG, COMP, CMPLX)
and angle unit setting (Deg, Rad, Gra) before beginning a calculation.

kInput Capacity
• The memory area used for calculation input can hold 79 “steps.” One step
is taken up each time you press a number key or arithmetic operator key
( +, ,, -, \ ). A A or p key operation does not take up a step, so
inputting A D, for example, takes up only one step.
• You can input up to 79 steps for a single calculation. Whenever you input
the 73rd step of any calculation, the cursor changes from “_” to “k” to let
you know memory is running low. If you need to input more than 79 steps,
you should divide your calculation into two or more parts.
• Pressing the g key recalls the last result obtained, which you can use in
a subsequent calculation. See “Answer Memory” for more information
about using the g key.

kMaking Corrections During Input

• Use e and r to move the cursor to the location you want.
• Press [ to delete the number or function at the current cursor position.
• Press A K to change to an insert cursor t. Inputting something while
the insert cursor is on the display inserts the input at the insert cursor
position.
• Pressing A K, or < returns to the normal cursor from the insert cursor.

kReplay Function
• Every time you perform a calculation, the replay function stores the
calculation formula and its result in replay memory. Pressing the [ key
displays the formula and result of the calculation you last performed.
Pressing [ again back steps sequentially (new-to-old) through past
calculations.

E-9
• Pressing the e or r key while a replay memory calculation is on the
display changes to the editing screen.
• Pressing the e or r key immediately after you finish a calculation
displays the editing screen for that calculation.
• Pressing t does not clear replay memory, so you can recall the last
calculation even after you press t.
• Replay memory capacity is 128 bytes for storage of both expressions and
results.
• Replay memory is cleared by any of the following actions.
When you press the 5 key
When you initialize modes and settings by pressing A B 2 (or 3) <
When you change from one calculation mode to another
When you turn off the calculator.

kError Locator
• Pressing r or e after an error occurs displays the calculation with the
cursor positioned at the location where the error occurred.

kExponential Display Formats

This calculator can display up to 10 digits. Larger values are automatically
displayed using exponential notation. In the case of decimal values, you can
select between two formats that determine at what point exponential
notation is used.
• To change the exponential display format, press the F key a number of
times until you reach the exponential display format setup screen shown

format is selected.

kPercentage Calculations
• Example 1: To calculate 12% of 1500 (180) 1500 - 12 A v

• Example 2: To calculate what percentage of 880 is 660 (75%)

660 \ 880 A v

• Example 3: To add 15% onto 2500 (2875) 2500 - 15 A v +

• Example 4: To discount 3500 by 25% (2625) 3500 - 25 A v ,

• Example 5: To discount the sum of 168, 98, and 734 by 20% (800)
168 + 98 + 734 < g A j 1
p 1 - 20 A v ,
*
E-13
* As shown here, if you want to use the current Answer Memory value in a
mark up or discount calculation, you need to assign the Answer Memory
value into a variable and then use the variable in the mark up/
discount calculation. This is because the calculation performed when v is
pressed stores a result to Answer Memory before the , key is pressed.
• Example 6: If 300 grams are added to a test sample originally weighing
500 grams, what is the percentage increase in weight? (160%)
300 + 500 A v
• Example 7: What is the percentage change when a value is increased
from 40 to 46? How about to 48? (15%, 20%)

kAnswer Memory
• Whenever you press < after inputting values or an expression, the
calculated result automatically updates Answer Memory contents by
storing the result.
• In addition to <, Answer Memory contents are also updated with result
whenever you press A v, |, A {, or A j followed by a letter (A
through D, or M, X, or Y).
• You can recall Answer Memory contents by pressing g.
• Answer Memory can store up to 12 digits for the mantissa and two digits
for the exponent.
• Answer Memory contents are not updated if the operation performed by
any of the above key operations results in an error.

kConsecutive Calculations
• You can use the calculation result that is currently on the display (and also
stored in Answer Memory) as the first value of your next calculation. Note
that pressing an operator key while a result is displayed causes the
displayed value to change to Ans, indicating it is the value that is currently
stored in Answer Memory.
• The result of a calculation can also be used with a subsequent Type A
function (x2, x3, x–1, x!, DRG'), +, –, ^(xy), x , , , nPr and nCr.

kIndependent Memory
• Values can be input directly into memory, added to memory, or subtracted
from memory. Independent memory is convenient for calculating
cumulative totals.
• Independent memory uses the same memory area as variable M.
• To clear independent memory (M), input 0 A j 3.
• Example: 23
9  32 23 + 9 A j 3

• To input multiple entries of the same data by specifying the “frequency”:
<x-data> A G <frequency> S
Example: To input the data 110 ten times 110 A G 10 S
• While inputting data or after inputting data is complete, you can use the
[ and ] keys to scroll through data you have input. If you input multiple
entries of the same data using A G to specify the data frequency
(number of data items) as described above, scrolling through data shows
both the data item and a separate screen for the data frequency (Freq).
• You can then edit the displayed data, if you want. Input the new value and
then press the < key to replace the old value with the new one. This also
means that if you want to perform some other operation (calculation, recall
of statistical calculation results, etc.), you should always press the t key
first to exit data display.
• Pressing the S key instead of < after changing a value on the display
registers the value you input as a new data item, and leaves the old value
as it is.
E-26
• You can delete a data value displayed using [ and ] by pressing A
U. Deleting a data value causes all values following it to be shifted up.
• Data values you register are normally stored in calculator memory. The
message “Data Full” appears and you will not be able to input any more
data if there is no memory left for data storage. If this happens, press the
< key to display the screen shown below.

 Differential Calculations COMP

The procedure described below obtains the derivative of a function.

Use the F key to enter the COMP Mode when you want to perform a
calculation involving differentials.
COMP ............................................................................................. F 1

• Three inputs are required for the differential expression: the function of
variable x, the point (a) at which the differential coefficient is calculated,
and the change in x (∆x).
A J expression P a P ∆x T
• Example: To determine the derivative at point x = 2 for the function
y = 3x2– 5x + 2, when the increase or decrease in x is ∆x = 2 × 10-4
(Result: 7 )
AJ3pxK,5px+2P2P2eD4T<
• You can omit input of ∆x, if you want. The calculator automatically
substitutes an appropriate value for ∆x if you do not input one.
• Discontinuous points and extreme changes in the value of x can cause
inaccurate results and errors.

Integration Calculations COMP

The procedure described below obtains the definite integral of a function.

Use the F key to enter the COMP Mode when you want to perform
integration calculations.
COMP ............................................................................................ F 1

• The following four inputs are required for integration calculations:

a function with the variable x; a and b, which define the integration range
of the definite integral; and n, which is the number of partitions (equivalent
to N = 2n) for integration using Simpson’s rule.
d expression P a P b P n F

E-34
Note!
• You can specify an integer in the range of 1 to 9 as the number of
partitions, or you can skip input of the number of partitions entirely, if you
want.
• Internal integration calculations may take considerable time to complete.
• Display contents are cleared while an integration calculation is being
performed internally.

 Storing a Program PRGM

Use the following procedure to specify the Edit Prog Mode and store a
program in memory.
Edit Prog ............................................................................. F F F 1

• Example: To create a program that uses Heron’s formula to calculate the

area of a triangle based on the lengths of its three sides

Formula: S = s (s – A)(s – B)(s – C) Note that: s = (A + B + C) /2.

1. Enter the Edit Prog Mode, which displays the screen shown below.
If there is already a
program in memory, its
PRGM number appears on the
Ed i t P r o g display.

Ans
• To input a colon (:), press <.
• To input “→A”, press A j q.
• You can also input a variable name using the p key. To input “X” for
example, press p x.

E-36
 • To input a question mark (?), right arrow (→), colon (:), or output
command (^), press A ?, and then use number keys 1 through
4 to select the mark or command you want. See “Useful Program
Commands” on page 40 for more information.
4. Press t F F F 2 to exit program input.

u Program Storage Notes

• Use the syntax below to prompt for input of a value by the person running
the program, which will be assigned to the variable whose name is
indicated by the program.
?→ <variable name>
You can normally specify the variable names A, B, C, D, X, Y, and M
(independent memory). In the CMPLX Mode, however, you can use only
A, B, C, or M, because the other variables are used to store mode data.
• Use a colon (:) to link statements into multi-statements. A “statement” can
be a calculation expression or function (such as Fix 3 or Deg). Note that
you do not need to include a colon (:) at the end of the program.
• If you want execution of a program to pause at any point part way
through, insert an output command (^) at the end of a statement instead
of a colon (:). Note that you do not need to include an output command
(^) at the end of the program.
• You can also specify a mode when inputting a program. The mode you
specify is stored along with the program. You can specify different modes
for programs P1, P2, P3, and P4. While the Edit Prog screen in step 1
under “Storing a Program” (page 36) is on the display, use the F key to
specify the mode you want. The following are the modes that you can
specify for a program: COMP, CMPLX, SD*, REG*, BASE.
* Data input for statistical calculations is always retained in memory, even
after calculation is complete. Statistical data remaining in memory can
cause calculation errors when you run a program that includes statistical
calculations. Because of this, you should press A B 1 (Scl) <
before executing such a program, or you should include the Scl
command at the beginning of the program to make sure that statistical
data memory is cleared.
• During program input, the cursor normally appears as a flashing underline
mark (_). When there are eight bytes or less of memory remaining,
however, the cursor changes to a flashing black box (k). If the remainder
of the program you are inputting is larger than remaining memory

E-37
 capacity, you will need to free up more memory capacity by deleting
programs or statistical data you no longer need.
• See page 44 for information about how bytes are counted and how
memory is shared by statistical data.

kEditing a Program
• While a program’s contents are on the display in the Edit Prog Mode, you
can use e and r to move the cursor to the location you want to edit.
• Press [ to delete the function at the current cursor location.
• Use the insert cursor (page 9) when you want to insert a new statement
into a program.

Executing a Program RUN

The procedure in this section shows how to execute a program in the
COMP Mode.

Perform the following key operation to enter the COMP Mode.

u Program Execution Notes

• Pressing < after program execution finishes causes the same program
to be executed again.
• You can also run a program from the Run Prog screen by using number
keys 1 through 4 to specify a program number (P1 through P4). You
can display the Run Prog screen by pressing t < from the Edit Prog
screen after step 3 of the procedure under “Storing a Program” on page
36.
• You can use the following keys on the currently displayed value while
program execution is paused by the output command (^).
J, I, C, r, F*
* Note that you can use the F key to select the settings shown below
only. Program execution is automatically cancelled if you try to select any
other mode or setting.
Deg, Rad, Gra, Fix, Sci, Norm, Dec, Hex, Bin, Oct
• To cancel further program execution, press t.

u Errors During Program Execution

• If an error message appears on the display during program execution,
press the e or r key to automatically enter the Edit Prog Mode. The
location of the error with the cursor located there will appear on the
display at this time. Determine the cause of the error and edit the program
as required.
• Pressing the t key while an error message is on the display clears the
message and terminates program execution.

E-39
 Deleting a Program PCL

Use the following procedure to specify the Clear Prog Mode and delete a
program from memory.
Clear Prog .......................................................................... F F F 3

• You can also enter the Clear Prog Mode by pressing [ while the Edit

2. Select the program number (P1 to P4) of the program you want to delete.
• Example: 1 (Program P1)
• The number of the program you selected disappears from the upper part
of the display, and remaining memory capacity increases by the size of the
deleted program.
• Note that the only way to delete all the programs in memory (P1 through
P4) is to perform the reset operation (page 11).

Useful Program Commands

In addition to mathematical calculations, there are also a number of useful
program commands you can use to perform loops and define conditions.

1 2
1 (Goto) .... Jump command
2 (Lbl) ....... Label

kUnconditional Jump
• When the unconditional jump command (Goto n) is executed, processing
jumps to the label (Lbl n) whose n value matches the n value of the
unconditional jump command. You can specify an integer from 0 to 9 for n.
• You can also use the unconditional jump command and label to create an
unconditional loop, which repeat a part of the program a specific number
of times. To do this, put a label (such as Lbl 1, which is used in the
example below) at the beginning of the part you want to repeat, and end
the repeated part with an unconditional jump command (Goto 1, in the
example).

E-41
• Example: Use Heron’s formula to perform a series of calculations to
determine the area of triangles for which the length of side A is fixed, and
the lengths of sides B and C are variable.
Program
?→A: Lbl 1: ?→B: ?→C: (A + B + C) ÷ 2→D^D × (D – A) × (D – B) ×
(D – C): Ans^Goto 1

kConditional Jump Using a Relational Operator

You can use relational operators so program execution compares two
values and then decides which processing should be performed based on
the relationship between the two values.
• Example: To create a program that calculates the total of a series of input
values, with calculation being terminated whenever zero is input
Program
0→B: Lbl 1: ?→A: A = 0 S Goto 2: B + A →B: Goto 1: Lbl 2: B
1 2 Statement 1 Statement 2
3
1 Assigns 0 to variable B.
2 Assigns the input value to variable A.
3 If A = 0 is true, Statement 1 (Goto 2) is executed. If false, execution
advances to Statement 2 without executing Statement 1.

u Relational Operator Notes

• The relational operators you can use in a program are: =, G, >, >.
• A relational operation that is true returns a value of 1, while a false
relational operation returns a value of 0. For example, executing 3 = 3
would return a result of 1, while 1 > 3 returns a result of 0.

kOther Program Statements

u F Key Settings
The items shown below can be included as statements inside of a program.
You can input one of these statements using the same procedure as you do
for normal calculation. That is, press the F key to display a selection
screen and then press the number key that corresponds to the setting you
want.
Deg, Rad, Gra, Fix, Sci, Norm, Dec, Hex, Bin, Oct
• Example: Deg: Fix 3
E-42
u Inputting Statistical Data
If you select the SD Mode or REG Mode before specifying a program
number (P1 through P4), you can input statistical data as part of your
program.
• Input statistical data using the S key, just as you normally do (page 25).
• In addition to values, you can also input calculation expressions as data.
• Example 1: To determine o of the following data (o = 30.875)
x Frequency
30 2
27 1
32 5
(SD Mode) Scl: 30; 2 DT: 27 DT: 32; 5 DT: o
*
* You do not need to specify the frequency when inputting a data item that
has a single occurrence.
• Example 2: To determine regression coefficients A, B, and C for the
following data (A = 3, B = –2, C = 1)
x y Frequency
3 6 2
4 11 1
6 27 2
(REG (Quad) Mode) Scl: 3,6; 2 DT: 4,11 DT: 6,27; 2 DT: A^B^C
* **
**A, B, and C are not variable names. They are regression coefficients.

u Memory Calculations
You can perform memory calculations in a program by inserting M+ and M–.
• Example: ... : 2 × 3 M+ : ...

u Percent Calculations
You can perform percent calculations in a program by inserting %.
• Example: ... : 250 + 280 % : ...
Note that you cannot perform percent calculations like the following in a
program: a × b%+, a × b%–.

u Rnd
You can round a value by using Rnd in a program.
• Example: 1 ÷ 3 : Rnd: ...
E-43
 Statistical Data Memory and
Program Memory
The following shows how the calculator uses memory for storage of
statistical data and programs.

(a) Statistical data only

(256 bytes)

Statistical
(b) Shared between statistical data
Data
and programs (360 bytes)

← (c) Shared between program management

Programs and statistical data (24 bytes)

kStatistical Data
• Each x-data or y-data (for regression calculations) item and each
frequency value (other than 1) that you input uses up eight bytes of
memory.
Example: Inputting the following in the SD Mode uses 40 bytes of
memory: 30 A G 2 S 27 A G 1 S 32 A G 5 S
• The memory area indicated as (a) in the above illustration is exclusively
for statistical data items. Since this area has 256 bytes, it can contain up
to 32 individual (frequency = 1) x-data items (256 bytes
8 bytes per
data item = 32).
• When memory area (a) becomes full, statistical data items are stored in
the free space (space not being used for program storage) of memory
area (b), if there is any. If there are no programs currently stored in
memory, memory area (c) is also used to store statistical data items.
Memory areas (a), (b), and (c) have a total capacity of 640 bytes, so there
is enough total memory to store up to 80 individual (frequency = 1) x-data
items (640 bytes
8 bytes per data item = 80).

E-44
• Trying to input a data item that takes up more bytes than are currently
available in memory area (b) causes the message “Data Full” to appear on
the display. If this happens, you can press < 1 to select “EditOFF.”
Though this will allow you to input more statistical data items (and free up
memory area (b) for program storage), it also deletes the data items that
are currently stored in memory areas (a) and (b). Also, the data items you
input after pressing < 1 will not be saved. This means you will not be
able to view or edit individual data items after you input them.
• To input new statistical data when editing is turned off (EditOFF), press
A B 1 (Scl) < to delete statistical data currently stored in memory
and turn editing on (EditON). You will be able to input statistical data into
the statistical data area (a) and the program memory area (b) that does
not contain program data. You can also delete program data you no longer
need to free up space for further statistical data input.

kPrograms
• Each function you input into program memory takes up either one byte or
two bytes of memory, as shown below.
• 1-byte Functions: sin, cos, log, (, ), :, ^, A, B, C, 1, 2, Fix 3 etc.
• 2-byte Functions: Goto 1, Lbl 2 etc.
• Pressing e or r while a program is on the display causes the cursor to
jump one byte in the direction indicated by the arrow.
• Inputting the first program while there are no other programs in memory
causes 24 bytes of memory to be reserved automatically as a program
management area (area (c) on page 44).
• A newly input program is stored in free space (space not currently being
used for program storage or statistical data storage) that is available in the
program memory area (area (b) on page 44). All 360 bytes of the program
memory area are available for program storage when there is no statistical
data stored in the program memory area.

E-45
 Technical Information
kWhen you have a problem......
If calculation results are not what you expect or if an error occurs, perform
the following steps.
1. Press A B 2(Mode) < to initialize all modes and settings.
2. Check the formula you are working with to confirm it is correct.
3. Enter the correct mode and try performing the calculation again.
If the above steps do not correct the problem, press the 5 key. The
calculator performs a self-check operation and deletes all data stored in
memory if any abnormality is detected. Make sure you always keep written
copies of all important data.

kError Messages
The calculator is locked up while an error message is on the display. Press
t to clear the error, or press e or r to display the calculation and
correct the problem. See “Error Locator” for details.

Math ERROR
• Causes
• Calculation result is outside the allowable calculation range.
• An attempt to perform a function calculation using a value that exceeds
the allowable input range.
• An attempt to perform an illogical operation (division by zero, etc.)
• Action
• Check your input values and make sure they are all within the allowable
ranges. Pay special attention to values in any memory areas you are
using.

Stack ERROR
• Cause
• The capacity of the numeric stack or operator stack is exceeded.
• Action
• Simplify the calculation. The numeric stack has 10 levels and the
operator stack has 24 levels.
E-46
 • Divide your calculation into two or more separate parts.

Syntax ERROR
• Cause
• A calculation formula or program formula contains an error.
• There is a colon (:) or output command (^) at the end of the program.
• Action
• Press e or r to display the calculation with the cursor located at the
location of the error and make required corrections.
• Delete the colon (:) or output command (^) at the end of the program.

Arg ERROR
• Cause
• Improper use of an argument
• Action
• Press e or r to display the location of the cause of the error and make
required corrections.

Go ERROR
• Cause
• A Goto n command does not have a corresponding Lbl n label.
• Action
• Correctly input an Lbl n label that corresponds to the existing Goto n
command, or delete the Goto n command if it is not required.

kOrder of Operations
Calculations are performed in the following order of precedence.
1 Coordinate transformation: Pol (x, y), Rec (r, θ )

• Operations of the same precedence are performed from right to left.
exIn 120 → ex{In( 120)}
• Other operations are performed from left to right.
• Operations enclosed in parentheses are performed first.
• When a calculation contains an argument that is a negative number, the
negative number must be enclosed within parentheses. The negative sign
(–) is treated as a Type B function, so particular care is required when the
calculation includes a high-priority Type A function, or power or root
operations.
Example: ( –2)4 = 16
–24 = –16

E-48
kStacks
This calculator uses memory areas, called “stacks,” to temporarily store
values (numeric stack) and commands (command stack) according to their
precedence during calculations. The numeric stack has 10 levels and the
command stack has 24 levels. A stack error (Stack ERROR) occurs
whenever you try to perform a calculation that is so complex that the
capacity of a stack is exceeded.

• Example:

1 2 3 4 5
1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Numeric Stack Command Stack

1 2 1 
2 3 2
3 4 3
4 5 4 
5 4 5 
6
7 

• Calculations are performed in sequence according to “Order of

Operations.” Commands and values are deleted from the stack as the
calculation is performed.

* For a single calculation, calculation error is ±1 at the 10th digit. (In the
case of exponential display, calculation error is ±1 at the last significant
digit.) Errors are cumulative in the case of consecutive calculations, which
can also cause them to become large. (This is also true of internal
consecutive calculations that are performed in the case of ^(xy), x y , x!,
3
, nPr, nCr, etc.)
In the vicinity of a function’s singular point and point of inflection, errors
are cumulative and may become large.

Power Supply
The type of battery you should use depends on the model number of your
calculator.
fx-3650P
The TWO WAY POWER system actually has two power supplies: a solar
cell and a G13 Type (LR44) button battery. Normally, calculators equipped
with a solar cell alone can operate only when relatively bright light is
present. The TWO WAY POWER system, however, lets you continue to use
the calculator as long as there is enough light to read the display.

• Replacing the Battery

Either of the following symptoms indicates battery power is low, and that
the battery should be replaced.
• Display figures are dim and difficult to read in areas where there is little
light available.
• Nothing appears on the display when you press the 5 key.

E-52
• To replace the battery
1 Remove the six screws that hold the back Screw Screw
cover in place and then remove the back
cover.
2 Remove the old battery.
3 Wipe off the sides of new battery with a dry,
soft cloth. Load it into the unit with the
positive k side facing up (so you can see it).
4 Replace the back cover and secure it in place
with the six screws.
5 Press 5 to turn power on. Be sure not to
skip this step.

fx-3950P
This calculator is powered by single G13 Type (LR44) button battery.
• Replacing the Battery
Dim figures on the display of the calculator indicate that battery power is
low. Continued use of the calculator when the battery is low can result in
improper operation. Replace the battery as soon as possible when display
figures become dim.

Note
• The conditional jump in the latter part of the program performs a process
that determines whether angle α is an acute angle or an obtuse angle.
First it checks whether the sum of the squares of side b and side c, which
form angle α, is greater than or less than the square of side a. That way it
can tell if angle α is an acute angle or an obtuse angle. Next, it uses the
1
formula S = –– bc sin α to determine whether the result matches the
2
value calculated for α. If it does not match, it changes the value of α to
an acute angle if it is currently an obtuse angle, or to an obtuse angle if it
is currently an acute angle.
Nota
• El salto condicional en la parte posterior del programa realiza un proceso
que determina si un ángulo α es un ángulo agudo o un ángulo obtuso.
Primero verifica si la suma de los cuadrados del lado b y lado c, que
forman el ángulo α, es mayor o menor que el cuadrado del lado a. De
esta manera puede indicar si un ángulo α es un ángulo agudo o un
1
ángulo obtuso. Luego, utiliza la fórmula S = –– bc sen α para determinar
2
si el resultado coincide con el valor calculado para α. Si no coincide,
cambia el valor de α a un ángulo agudo si actualmente es un ángulo
obtuso, o a un ángulo obtuso si actualmente es un ángulo agudo.
