CLEAR THE ARITHMETIC UNIT:
--------------------------
Only when the right vertical lever on front is on (+) ADDITION, the
arithmetic unit can be cleared: Turn the little crank on the right
side clockwise one rotation.

ENTER A NUMBER:
---------------
Use the index-finger and pull-down the appropriate number. Depending
of the right vertical lever on front, the input is (+) ADDED or (-)
SUBTRACTED. The result is visible in the arithmetic unit.

INPUT CHECK:
------------
When the black knob on the right side is set clockwise, the input
wheels will stay and show the number entered (for checking). Before
entering a new number, press the key on front to release the input
wheels. If the black knob is set counter-clockwise, the release key
on front is locked down and each input wheel snaps back immediately
after entering a number.

NEGATIVE RESULTS:
-----------------
Negative results are displayed in the arithmetic unit as the
COMPLEMENT of the next higher 10, 100, 1000, ...

Example:   -12  =  9...988
