Setup
Battery Installation and Power Source
The OSALO Scientific Calculator OS 991ES PLUS II operates on both solar power and a single LR44 battery (included). The solar panel provides power in sufficient light, while the battery ensures operation in low-light conditions or when solar power is insufficient.
- Ensure the calculator is turned off.
- Locate the battery compartment on the back of the calculator.
- Open the battery cover using a small screwdriver if necessary.
- Insert the LR44 battery, ensuring the correct polarity (+/-).
- Close the battery cover securely.
The calculator will automatically switch between solar and battery power as needed. For optimal performance, use the calculator in a well-lit environment.
