CALCULATING STORAGE SPACE
The total storage capacity for the EC-344 is 1392 memory locations.
To display the remaining available storage space, press ROLODEX SYMBOL OR
CALCULATOR SYMBOL. The amount of storage still available appears on the
display.
Take the number above the last character of the name (upper line) you want
to enter and add it to the number below the last digit of the number
(lower line) you want to enter.
(In the example, 23 + 12 = 35 memory locations)
To calculate the remaining storage space, subtract the above result from
the amount of currently available memory.
(1392 - 35 = 1357)
The result gives you the remaining available storage space.
Use the following charts to calculate storage space when the upper line
contains from 13 to 36 characters.
