Identical to the Panasonic JE-855U. See also
Olympia CD80
and CD85.
When the auto-sum switch is set to "M" the result will be added to the
register whenever the "=" key is pressed. The register is cleared when
flipping the switch to enable the auto-sum feature.
The info sheet states that the unit works with 16 digits of internal
precision! However, by substracting the integer part and multiplying by
10 it is not possible to "pull out" those hidden digits. Also, 100/18
yields 5.55... so there's not even correct rounding applied to the last
digit. So I really wonder what good the additional hidden digits do -
if they really exist.
