Setup

Power Source

Your CATIGA CD-2786-12 calculator operates on a dual power system: solar power and a pre-installed LR44 battery. No initial setup is required for power, as the battery is included and the solar panel is ready for use.

• Solar Power: The calculator will automatically switch to solar power when sufficient ambient light is available. Ensure the solar panel, located above the display, is exposed to light for optimal performance.
• Battery Power: A LR44 battery is included and pre-installed. This provides power when light conditions are insufficient or for consistent operation in any environment.
