Frequently Asked Questions - DF 120 TER CASIO

How to replace the battery of the CASIO DF-120 TER calculator?
The calculator operates on batteries. Open the battery compartment on the back of the device, remove the old batteries and insert new ones respecting polarity. Use a screwdriver if necessary.
How to set the tax rate?
Press and hold the TAX%+ or TAX%- key until the current rate flashes. Enter the new rate (e.g. 5 for 5%) and press TAX%+ to confirm.
How to use the Grand Total memory (GT)?
After each calculation, press GT to add the result to the grand total memory. To display the cumulative total, press GT once. To clear, press GT twice.
What to do if the display becomes dim or disappears?
This indicates low batteries. Replace them with new ones. If the problem persists, check the contacts or contact customer service.
How to perform Euro-Franc conversion?
The calculator has a fixed rate: 1 € = 6.55957 FRF. To convert, enter the amount, then press LOCAL (or EURO) to display the equivalent in the other currency.
How to set the number of decimal places?
Use the F CUT UP 5/4 selector on the side of the calculator. F = floating, CUT = truncation, UP = round up, 5/4 = round to nearest.
How to use the independent memory (M)?
To add a number to memory, press M+. To subtract, press M-. To recall the value, press MR (or MC to clear).
What does the 'K' indicator on the screen mean?
The K indicator means the constant function is active. To use it, enter a number and press the operator (+, -, ×, ÷) twice. Subsequent calculations will use this number as a constant.
How to clean the calculator?
Turn off the device and wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Never use chemicals, alcohol or solvents. Avoid moisture.

How to use the % key on the CASIO DF 120 TER and why the result does not display?
Frequently Asked Questions - 07/10/2026
Response Notice-Facile

On the CASIO DF 120 TER, the % key works in two steps:

  1. Enter your calculation (for example: 100 + 50)
  2. Press the % key, then the = key to display the result

If the result does not appear on the screen, check the following points:

  • Press = after % - The % key alone does not display the result. You must always press = to validate the calculation.
  • Check the calculator selectors - The F/CUT/UP/5/4 selector at the top of the machine controls rounding and the display of decimals. If the result is 0 visible decimal, the number may display without a decimal point.
  • Condition of the LCD screen - The batteries may be low and make the display difficult to read. If nothing appears at all, check the condition of the batteries.
  • Calculation mode - On this model, the percentage works particularly for tax calculations (VAT). Refer to the

What is the purpose of the F/CUT/UP/5/4 selector on the CASIO DF 120 TER?
Frequently Asked Questions - 07/10/2026
Response Notice-Facile

The F/CUT/UP/5/4 selector located on the side of your CASIO DF 120 TER calculator is a switch that controls the rounding mode and the display of decimals during your calculations.

Each position of the selector offers a different behavior:

  • F = Floating point - variable display of decimals according to the result
  • CUT = Truncation - simply cuts off the decimals without rounding
  • UP = Round up - always rounds up
  • 5/4 = Nearest rounding - standard rounding (decimals ≥ 5 round up, others round down)

This selector is particularly useful for financial, commercial, or accounting calculations where decimal precision is important. Simply turn the selector to the position corresponding to the desired rounding mode before performing your calculations.

What is the GT button for on the CASIO DF 120 TER?
Frequently Asked Questions - 07/10/2026
Response Notice-Facile

The GT button on your CASIO DF 120 TER stands for Grand Total (or general total memory). It automatically accumulates the results of your successive calculations.

Operation

  • Add a result: after a calculation, press GT to add the result to the general total memory
  • View the total: press GT again to display the accumulated value of all recorded results
  • Clear the memory: press GT twice (or refer to your manual for the exact shortcut to clear)

Important notice: when the calculator turns off due to the auto-off function, the content of the GT memory is lost. Be sure to note your total before it turns off if you need it.

This function is very useful for adding multiple operations (bills, daily totals, etc.) without recalculating them manually.

About the Selectors

fCUTS4 Rounding Selector (D-20TER/DF-120TER/JF-120TER)

Specifies the rounding system.

F: Floating decimal point system, which displays the value without rounding.

CUT: Cuts off the decimal to the specified* number of places.

5/4: Rounds off the decimal to the specified* number of places.

  • Use the Decimal Place Selector to specify the number of decimal places.

43219 ADO Decmal Place Selector D-20TER/DF-120TER/JF-120TER)

Specifies the number of decimal places for rounding. Note that the Decimal Place Selector is valid whenever the Rounding Selector is in any position other than F.

4, 3, 2, 1, 0: Number of decimal places for the CUT and 5/4 settings of the Rounding Selector.

ADD2 : The "Add Mode" automatically adds a decimal point and two decimal places to all values, even if you don't input a decimal point. This mode is very useful when performing calculations in dollars or other monetary systems that require two decimal places. Two decimal places are not added in this mode if you press the key while inputting a value, or for any operation other than addition and subtraction.

■ Error Indicator

If the error indicator "E" appears on the display, press C to clear the error and continue with the calculation, or AC to clear the entire calculation.

3/Power Supply

The Two-Way Power System of this calculator uses a solar cell, in addition to one LR44 or LR54 (LR1130) button type battery. Unlike calculators equipped with a solar cell only, you can use this calculator under virtually any lighting conditions, as long as there is enough light for you to read the display.

Battery Replacement

Do not try to replace the battery yourself. Have it replaced by an authorized CASIO dealer or service center.

If the display becomes dim and difficult to read, or if nothing appears on the display when you press AC (especially when lighting is dim), you probably need to have the battery replaced.

  • A dead battery can leak and damage the calculator if left in the battery compartment for long periods.
