Setup

Power Source Activation

Your CATIGA SD-1299 calculator operates on dual power: solar and battery. It comes with a pre-installed AAA battery. For optimal performance, ensure the calculator is exposed to sufficient light for solar power or that the battery is correctly installed.

1. Battery Installation: The calculator includes a pre-installed AAA battery. If the display is dim or unresponsive in low light, you may need to check or replace the battery. The battery compartment is located on the back of the unit. Use a small screwdriver to open the compartment, insert a new AAA battery with the correct polarity, and secure the cover.
2. Solar Power: The solar panel is located above the display. For best results, use the calculator in a well-lit environment. The calculator will automatically switch to solar power when sufficient light is available, conserving battery life.
