SPIESS Heinz:
After I looked at the square root hack from the inside, I started to remember the story:
By coincidence I had found out that hitting the [%] and [-=] at exactly the same time, the square root of the current value was displayed.
But since it's rather difficult to hit those two buttons exactly at the same time, I installed that switch, which 'short cuts' the reed switches of the two buttons.
So to compute a square root, one has to put the switch to 'Wurzel' (can be done while power is on) and then
hit either [%] or [-=] and then one can put the switch back to "Normal" to have the standard functionality of the 2 buttons.
