The first menu (options 1 through 6) shows the following functions:
Examples of applications of these functions are shown next in RECT

argument, while in RPN mode, you enter the argument first, and then select
the function. Also, recall that you can get these functions as soft menu
labels by changing the setting of system flag 117 (See Chapter 2).

y
ABS(z) Calculates the magnitude of a complex number.
