Instruccions de funcionament

Encès/Apagat

• Per encendre: premeu la tecla ON/C clau.
• Per apagar: premeu 2n F aleshores OFF (usually located above the ON/C key).

Display Modes (WriteView / Line)

The calculator features a WriteView display that shows fractions, roots, and formulas as they appear in textbooks. You can switch to a traditional line mode if preferred.

• To toggle between WriteView and Line mode: Press MODE and select the desired display option. Refer to the on-screen menu for specific selections.

Operacions aritmètiques bàsiques

Enter numbers and operations in sequence. The D.A.L. (Direct Algebraic Logic) input method allows you to input equations exactly as they are written.

• Addició: +
• Resta: -
• Multiplicació: x
• Divisió: ÷
• És igual a: =

Funcions científiques

The calculator includes 414 pre-programmed functions covering statistics, n-base calculations, logical operators, trigonometry, logarithms, and more. Access these functions using the dedicated keys or by pressing 2n F followed by the key with the desired secondary function.

• Funcions trigonomètriques: pecat, cos, bronzejat and their inverse functions (accessed via 2n F).
• Funcions logarítmiques: registre, ln.
• Funcions potència i arrel: x², √, xʸ.
• Estadístiques: Enter STAT mode via MODE to perform statistical calculations.
• N-Base Calculations: Perform calculations in binary, octal, decimal, and hexadecimal bases.

Funcions de memòria

The calculator features 4 shortcut memory buttons (D1, D2, D3, D4) for quick access to frequently used functions or constants. Additionally, standard memory functions (M+, M-, RCL, STO) are available.

• STO (Botiga): Stores a value into a memory variable.
• RCL (Recordar): Recalls a value from a memory variable.
• M+ / M-: Adds to or subtracts from the independent memory.

Manteniment

Neteja

To clean the calculator, wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or wet cloths, as these can damage the casing o components interns.

Emmagatzematge

When not in use for extended periods, store the calculator in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep it in its protective cover to prevent scratches and damage.

Cura de la bateria

If the calculator will not be used for a very long time, it is advisable to remove the LR44 battery to prevent potential leakage and damage to the device.

Resolució de problemes

Problemes de visualització

• Pantalla en blanc: Check battery level. Replace the LR44 battery if necessary. Ensure sufficient light for solar operation.
• Visualització feble: Això pot indicar que la pila està baixa. Substituïu la pila LR44.

Càlculs incorrectes

• Resultats incorrectes: Verify the input method (D.A.L.) and ensure all values are entered correctly. Check if the calculator is in the correct mode (e.g., DEG/RAD for trigonometric functions, STAT mode for statistics).
• Missatge d'error: Refer to the calculator's on-screen error codes (if any) for specific issues. Common errors include division by zero or invalid function arguments.

Reinicialització de la calculadora

If the calculator behaves erratically or freezes, a reset may resolve the issue. Locate the small reset button (often on the back or side, requiring a thin object like a paperclip to press) or perform a soft reset via the CONFIGURACIÓ menu. Note that resetting may clear all memory and settings.
