Do the first one, press INPUT, then do your second one. Do SWAP to switch back and forth. Make sure that you have completed any pending operations first. Pressing C or turning the calculator off and on clears both. The height of the LCD segments appears to have changed during production, apparently between serial numbers 3029S00240 and 3038S04820. This is according to Martin Pedersen.
