JOBBER "6"INSTRUCTION MANUAL

THE FEET INCHES SIXTEENTHS CALCULATOR WITH

INSTANT CONVERSION BETWEEN ALL MODES

The JOBBER 6 was developed especially for use by

anyone connected with the building and construction industry.

JOBBER 6 has "FIVE" different dimensional

formats with instant conversion between all formats.

1 Feet, inches & fractions 4 Decimal (of inches)

2 Decimal (of feet)

5 Metric (millimeters, meters)

3 Inches & fractions

All will work with the many built-in math programs.

This means that complex calculations can be made without the use of charts or tables, thus decreasing errors and increasing production.

The primary difference between the JOBBER 6 and other calculators is its use of its special keyboard of 0 to 15 instead of 0 to 9. This allows inches and fractions to be entered with

a single keystroke each.

NOTE THIS FEATURE

A feature requested by many Jobber users is that they would like to be able to set the calculator to work only in 16th and not convert to lower case denominator fractions. This is accomplished by pressing the FIS key a second time. However, if you want to go to lower case fraction again, press the FIS key again, as it will switch back and forth.

INV MM

NOTE: When in the meter mode the MET.MM in

the display will be flashing

5 Inches and fractions

6 Decimal inches

INCH INCH (Press 2 times)

Each Mode may be interchanged at any time. Thus, you can convert any (FIS) dimension to Decimal or Metric, and vice versa with a single keystroke.

With an incorrect entry or answer beyond the range of the calculator, the display will show "error." To clean an error condition you must press the "CLR" button.

In the Decimal and Metric Modes, the display capacity is SEVEN digits, or "9999999."

In the FIS Mode, the display capacity is EIGHT digits showing a maximum dimension of 99,999 feet, 11 inches and 15 sixteenths.

AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF

Your Calculator is designed to shut itself off after a few minutes of non-use. However, any values stored in the memories will be retained. Also any data in the triangle mode is retained and can be recalled by pressing the INV key first and then any one of the triangle keys.

(3)

KEY DEFINITIONS ON

FIS This key turns the calculator on and activates the feet, inch, and fraction mode. It will also convert any displayed dimensions from other dimensional modes to the FIS mode.

CLR The CLEAR KEY - Press once clears the last entry and the display; press twice in succession clears all temporary registers.

Press INV CLR and it will backspace, deleting one keystroke at a time.

MEMORIES ? JOBBER "6" has 6 Permanent Memories.

Values stored in these memories are not lost when calculator goes

off. One of these memories is separated from the other 5 memories.

DMS

DMS

MEM and RCL are the memory keys located to the right of

the 15 and 12 keys. This memory is

referred to as the Quick Memory because it

requires only One Key In and One Key Out.

The other five memories work with the Memory Keys that are located on the left side of the DEC and MM keys. These memories require use of Two Keystrokes to store a value in them and Two Keystrokes to recall the stored value.

To Store the Value that is in the Display in these Memories:

MEM+

M1 M2 M3 M4 M5

First press MEM Then press 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5

depending on the memory you choose to use.

To Recall the Stored Value in these Memories:

MEM?

M1 M2 M3 M4 M5

First press RCL Then press 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5

depending on the memory you choose to recall,

(4)

When these memories have a stored value in them a small M1 - M2 - M3 will light up in the display. MEM M4 and M5 will not light up in the display. You can press RCL M4 or M5 to see if they have a stored value in them.

To clear these memories ? first clear the display with only zeros "0" showing in the display.

M1

M2

M3

M4

M5

Then press MEM and 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5

depending on the memory you wish to clear. Then the small

M1 - M2 - M3 in the display will go out, indicating the memory

is clear. M4 and M5 are cleared in the same manner but have

no display light to go out.

If a memory already has a value in it, but you wish to store a new value in it, it is not necessary to clear the memory before entering the new value. Just enter it as explained earlier. The new value will be stored and the previous value is cleared automatically.

EXAMPLE - Put 7' - 103/4 in MEM-1

Put tangent .645833 in MEM-3 for later use

These same 5 Memories can also be used as Accumulative Memories.

By pressing the INV key first the

MEM+

MEM becomes Memory Plus (Adds to Memory).

MEM?

The RCL becomes Memory Minus (Subtracts from Memory).
