| Logic comments: | The Clear /Clear Entry key (C/CE) is used to once clear an input number, the second time to completely reset the calculator |
| Overflow on the input of a number is suppressed | |
| The constant function is automatic for all operators | |
| The negative sign is shown on ninth digit to allow 8-digit negative numbers | |
| Negative square roots are not allowed unlike the BC-8111B | |
| A divide by zero or overflow error is shown by an "C" in the ninth digit. Only the latter is recoverable using the CE function. | |
| Memory storage is indicated by an "." in the top of the ninth digit |
