Found some documentation listing the two middle switches as the rounding switch (up fraction down) and the decimal switch (auto? 0 to 6 then hex?). No idea on the other two.
http://www.calcuseum.com/SCRAPBOOK/BONUS/32853/1.htm
Decimal switch: [A-0-2-3-4-6-F], Round switch: [(ArrowUp)-5/4-(ArrowDown)], Miscellaneous switch: [(Blank)-K .-(Sigma)],
Nice!
They seem to have some kind of function regarding how to perform or display calculations.
This app isn't very intuitive

OK, SOME NERD PLEASE EXPLAIN THE SWITCHES ON THIS IRL CALCULATOR APP!
Some guesses by ChatGPT:
Left Switch ("K" setting):
- K: Likely for a "constant mode," where the calculator uses one operand as a constant for repeated >calculations (e.g., multiplying several numbers by the same value).
- The other position is likely "normal mode," disabling this feature.
Middle Switch ("A/2/4/6" etc.):
- This could control decimal rounding or precision:
- "A" might stand for "automatic" mode.
- "0, 2, 3, 4, 6" refers to the number of decimal places displayed or used in calculations.
- "F" likely stands for "full precision," using all available decimal places.
Right Switch ("Σ" setting):
- Σ: Likely enables a "summation mode," where the calculator automatically adds results to a running total (useful for bookkeeping or repetitive additions).
- The other position disables this mode.
Being Swedish the "constant mode" seems likely as we often used k (for "konstant") in school math to represent a constant (e.g. for the slope of a line).
It seems to be right on the K switch. And yeah. Konstant makes sense.
The numbered switch seems to check out at least. Other than the F. F just gives me a single decimal. edit: no... Three...?
Not sure about the right switch. It adds an I in the upper right corner and it seems possible to flip between different calculation results. Maybe?
Did you just plug the picture into chatgpt? It's awesome if something like that works :o
Given the available context, I'm inclined to agree with ChatGPT. I can't see those listed being anything else
Bold of you to mention chat gpt in a comment, I feel like any mention of it tends to get down voted to hell, even when it's appropriately used as you did here
Until I saw your post, I was going to guess the A,0,2,3,4,6,F switch would switch it into different numerical bases. Like, if you wanted to do math in binary, switch to the "2" position. "0" (or maybe "A") would be base 10. "F" would be hexadecimal. But what you have definitely makes more sense.
F is 15, so that'd be weird for hex, and I've never seen base 4 or 6 used for anything, base 8 is common for some things but missing here.
I think some computers have been known to work in base 6. Or maybe I'm just confusing it with them using 6 bits. Probably the latter.
It kind of makes sense in that 15 is the last single digit in hex.
Well, I see a round up, didn't round, or round down switch. The next one might be how many points if precision??. The last one has to do with sum vs series somehow.
That is interesting, though. Beyond me, that's for sure
If I move the larger switch to A, everything is done in decimal. Maybe that's a hint?
On the top left you can change from none or K
Isn't it decimal or K?
Looks like Facit calculators were originally manufactured in Sweden and then later Japan. No mention of that particular model on this website, however
I know. I'm in Sweden. Facit was a big thing in its day. This one's made by Sharp in Japan. It's a 2102. Or maybe that's when the manual will be released.
No.
apology for poor english
when were you when svenska calculator post drop?
i was sat at home eating IKEA meatballs when notification ring
‘Calculator switch set to K’
‘no’
It’s an older copypasta sir, but it checks out.
Svenska Kalkylator.
Thanks, I already know no. means number
No means no, you misogynist pig!
No
Nomber*
Wait, holy crap, why is No. short for number? Must have to do with another language?
Edited to add, of course the answer is Latin.
Pretty sure its actually the calculator language
No.
