I see a lot of wrong info on the the decimal slider. This is how it works:
A is for “Add-mode”. This means that 2 decimals are always assumed. It’s used for adding a lot of 2 decimal numbers, because you’ll never have to press the decimal key.
If you’ve ever worked a credit card terminal and having to enter 200 to get 2.00$, that’s how this setting works.
0-6 are fixed and rounded according to the rounding setting.
The decimal F is for floating. It’ll use the most relevant amount of decimals.
Another funny button is MU which is Mark Up. It’s used with the percentage button. It’s a backward ass way to do percentages. You’ll enter a value and then MU the percentage that you want from the result, instead of the input.
Say you have product that costs 100 and you’ll want to mark it up, so you’ll get 20% of your new sales price as profit. Press 100 MU 20% and it should show 125, which is your sales price, because 25 is the 20% of 125.
It doesn’t make sense to me why anyone ever needed that button.

That’s some great info!
The back of it says it’s been used at a local insurance company. Wonder if that button is useful there somehow.
Do you know what the rightmost row is about? And the two buttons above C and CE?
edit: the MU function doesn’t seem to do anything. Maybe I’m missing something.
