Safety Precautions

To ensure the safe and efficient use of the calculator, follow these safety precautions:

• Do not expose the calculator to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for an extended period.
• Avoid dropping or subjecting the calculator to physical shocks.
• Use the correct type of battery and replace it when necessary.
• Keep the calculator away from moisture and liquids.
• Clean the calculator with a soft, dry cloth if needed.

Maintenance

1. Keep it clean:
   • Regularly wipe the calculator with a soft, dry, and lint-free cloth to remove dust, fingerprints, and other contaminants.
   • Avoid using abrasive materials or solvents, as they can damage the calculator’s surface.
2. Protect the screen:
   • To prevent scratches and damage to the display, consider using a protective case or cover.
   • Avoid placing heavy objects on top of the calculator.
3. Battery replacement:
   • If the calculator starts to display irregular characters or shows a low battery indicator, it’s time to replace the battery.
   • Most scientific calculators use standard button-cell batteries (usually CR2032 or similar). Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for battery replacement.
4. Avoid extreme temperatures:
   • Keep your calculator away from extreme heat or cold, as it can affect its performance. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight or a car during hot weather.
5. Store it properly:
   • When not in use, store the calculator in a cool, dry place.
   • Avoid exposing it to humidity, as moisture can damage the internal components.
6. Handle with care:
   • Avoid dropping or subjecting the calculator to mechanical shocks, as this can damage the internal components and affect its accuracy.
7. Keep the manual:
   • Retain the user manual that came with the calculator. It contains valuable information on using and maintaining your specific model.

Troubleshooting

1. Calculator Won’t Turn On:
   • Check if the batteries are inserted correctly, with the correct polarity.
   • Replace the batteries with fresh ones if they are depleted.
   • Ensure that the battery contacts are clean and not corroded.
2. The display is Blank or Flickering:
   • Check if the contrast setting is too low. Adjust the contrast to a suitable level using the relevant buttons.
   • If the contrast adjustment doesn’t work, the display may be damaged and require repair or replacement.
3. Buttons Are Not Responding:
   • Ensure that the calculator is not in a special mode, such as “STAT” or “MODE.” Exit any special modes to regain normal button functionality.
   • Clean the calculator’s keypad using a soft, lint-free cloth to remove any dirt or debris that may be affecting button responsiveness.
4. Incorrect Calculation Results :
   • Double-check your input to make sure you’ve entered the values and operators correctly.
   • Ensure that the calculator is set to the appropriate mode (degrees, radians, or grads) for your calculations.
   • If you are getting unexpected results in scientific notation, check if you need to adjust the display mode (e.g., decimal or fraction).
5. Calculator Freezes or Becomes Unresponsive:
   • Try resetting the calculator by removing the batteries and reinserting them after a few seconds. This can help clear any temporary glitches.
   • If the issue persists, consult the user manual for specific instructions on resetting or troubleshooting frozen calculator issues.
