OPERATIONAL NOTES

To ensure the trouble-free operation of your SHARP calculator, we recommend the following:

1. The calculator should be kept in areas free from extreme temperature changes, moisture, and dust.
2. A soft, dry cloth should be used to clean the calculator. Do not use solvents or a wet cloth.
3. Since this product is not waterproof, do not use it or store it where fluids, for example water, can splash onto it. Raindrops, water spray, juice, coffee, steam, perspiration, etc. will also cause malfunction.
4. While the memory protection battery is not installed, the tax/discount rate set up will be cleared upon terminating the AC power supply. The tax/discount rate set up will also be cleared when the memory protection battery is removed from the unit.
5. If service should be required on this equipment, use only a SHARP servicing dealer, a SHARP-approved service facility, or a SHARP repair service where available.
6. Do not wind the AC cord around the body or otherwise forcibly bend or twist it.

SHARP will not be liable nor responsible for any incidental or consequential economic or property damage caused by misuse and/or malfunctions of this product and its peripherals, unless such liability is acknowledged by law.

INSTALLING OF BATTERY FOR MEMORY PROTECTION

Before using for the first time, remove the attached lithium battery, and install it in the equipment according to the following procedure.
If the power cord is unplugged by accident when operating with AC power only, the set tax rate and the contents of memory will be lost.

1. Turn the power switch “OFF” and unplug the power supply plug from the outlet.
2. Remove the battery cover on the back of the unit. (Fig. 1)Wipe the battery well with a dry cloth and place the plus “+” side upward. (Fig. 2)
3. Replace the battery cover by reversing the removal procedure.
4. Press the RESET switch on the back of the unit.

After battery installation

• Connect the power supply plug to an outlet and turn the power switch “ON”.
  Check that “0.” is displayed. If “0.” is not displayed, remove the battery, reinstall it, and check the display again.

• On the battery replacement date label found on the back of the unit, write down the month and year when the battery is installed, as a reference for the next battery replacement.

OPERATING CONTROLS

1. POWER SWITCH; PRINT / ITEM COUNT MODE SELECTOR:

   • “OFF” : Power of.

   • “•”: Power ON. Set to the nonprint mode. (“•••…•••–” will be printed.)

   • “P”: Power ON. Set to the print mode. (“•••…•••+” will be printed.)

   • “P•IC”: Power ON. Set to the print and item count mode. The counter will count the number of times that **has been pressed in addition.
     Notes: • Each time **is used in subtraction, 1 will be subtracted from the count.

   • The count is printed when the calculated result is obtained.

   • Pressing of , ****clears the counter.

   • The counter has a maximum capacity of 3 digits (up to ±999).
     If the count exceeds the maximum, the counter will recount from zero.

2. DECIMAL SELECTOR:
   Presets the number of decimal places in the answer. In the “F” position, the answer is displayed in the floating decimal system.

3. ROUNDING SELECTOR:
   Example: Set the decimal selector to “2”.
   4 ÷ 9 = 0.444 … , 5 ÷ 9 = 0.555 …
   Note : The decimal point floats during successive calculations by the use of .
   If the decimal selector is set to “F” then the answer is always rounded down ( ).

4. CONSTANT / ADD MODE SELECTOR:

   • “K” : The following constant functions will be performed:
     Multiplication : The calculator will automatically remember the first number entered (the multiplicand) and ****the instruction.

5. Division : The calculator will automatically remember the second number entered (the divisor) and **the instruction.
   “•”: Neutral
   “A”: Use of the Add mode permits addition and subtraction of numbers without entry of the decimal point. When the Add mode is activated, the decimal point is automatically positioned according to the decimal selector setting.
   Use **, and will automatically override the Add mode and decimally correct answers will be printed at the preset decimal position.

6. GRAND TOTAL MODE SELECTOR:
   “GT”: This selector will accumulate the following: (“+✱” will be printed.)

   • Addition and subtraction totals obtained with ****.
   • Product and quotient totals obtained with  ****.
   • Results obtained using  ****. “•”: Neutral

7. PAPER FEED KEY

8. LAST DIGIT CORRECTION KEY

9. CHANGE SIGN KEY:
   Changes the algebraic sign of a number (i.e. positive to negative or negative to positive).

10. NON-ADD / SUBTOTAL KEY:

    • Non-Add – When this key is pressed right after entry of a number in the Print mode, the entry is printed on the left-hand side with “#”. This key is used to print out numbers not subject to calculations such as codes, dates, etc.
    • Subtotal – Used to get subtotal(s) of additions and/or subtractions. When pressed following ****, the subtotal is printed with “◊” and the calculation may be continued.
      By pressing this key event in the Non-print mode, the displayed number is printed without any symbol.

11. TOTAL KEY:
    Prints the total of addition and subtraction with “ ✱ ”.
    This key also serves as a clear key for the calculation register and resets an error condition.

12. CE: CLEAR ENTRY KEY:
    Clears numbers entered before use of a function key.
    Also used to clear an overflow error caused by an entry.

13. FIRST RECALL MEMORY KEY

14. FIRST RECALL AND CLEAR MEMORY KEY

15. PRE-TAX KEY

16. TAX-INCLUDING KEY:
    This key is used for calculations with the tax/discount rate.

17. STORE KEY:
    This key is used to store the tax/ discount rate.

    • A maximum of 4 digits can be stored (decimal point is not counted as a digit).
    • To store a discount rate, press first.
    • Only one rate can be stored. If you enter a new rate, the previous rate will be cleared.

18. GRAND TOTAL KEY:
    Prints and clears the “GT” memory contents.

19. SECOND RECALL MEMORY KEY

20. SECOND RECALL AND CLEAR MEMORY KEY

21. DISPLAY
