2.1 Nwepu
Upon opening the package, ensure the following items are present:
- Sharp EL-506TSBBW Scientific Calculator
- Akpa siri ike nchekwa
- Akwụkwọ ntuziaka (akwụkwọ a)
- 1 LR44 Battery (pre-installed)
2.2 Ike Isi iyi
The EL-506TSBBW calculator utilizes a hybrid power system, combining solar power with a pre-installed LR44 battery.
- Ike anyanwụ: The calculator will primarily use solar power when sufficient light is available. Ensure the solar panel, located above the display, is exposed to light during use.
- Ike batrị: The LR44 battery provides power in low-light conditions or when solar power is insufficient. The battery is pre-installed and typically does not require immediate replacement.
To turn the calculator ON, pịa ON/C key. To turn the calculator Gbanyụọ, pịa 2nd F ndị sotere OFF/C. The calculator will also automatically power off after a period of inactivity to conserve battery life.
3. Ntuziaka ọrụ
The Sharp EL-506TSBBW features a 12-digit, 2-line LCD display and 470 functions across 6 modes.
3.1 Display and Basic Input
The 2-line display shows the calculation entry on the upper line and the result on the lower line simultaneously. The Direct Algebraic Logic (D.A.L.) system allows for inputting equations exactly as they are written.
- Entering Numbers: Use the numeric keys (0-9) and the decimal point key (.).
- Ọrụ ndị bụ isi: Jiri +, -, ×, ÷ for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
- Hakọrọ: Pịa = to execute the calculation.
- Clear Entry/All Clear: Pịa ON/C once to clear the current entry. Press it twice to clear all calculations and settings.
- Igodo ụlọ: Nke ỤLỌ key allows users to return to the initial calculation screen, clearing any previously entered data or settings.
