INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the SHARP Scientific Calculator Model EL-530M. This calculator will help you understand mathematical concepts behind fraction calculation, such as simplification and reduction. After reading this manual, store it in a convenient location for future reference.

Operational Notes

To ensure trouble-free operation, observe the following points:

1. Do not carry the calculator in the back pocket of slacks or trousers.

2. Do not subject the calculator to extreme temperatures.

3. Do not drop it or apply excessive force.

4. Clean only with a soft, dry cloth.

5. Do not use or store the calculator where fluids can splash onto it.

♦ Press the RESET switch (on the back) only in the following

cases:

• When using for the first time

• After replacing the batteries

• To clear all memory contents

• When an abnormal condition occurs and all keys are

inoperative.

If service should be required on this calculator, use only a SHARP servicing dealer, SHARP approved service facility, or SHARP repair service where available.

Priority Levels in Calculation

This calculator performs operations according to the following priority: 1 Functions expressed with numerical data placed before

(such as x

2 yx, 3 π 4 Functions expressed with numerical data placed after (such

as sin, cos)

5 Multiplications with the sign “×” omitted from the front of a

function (such as 3cos20)

Y ×, ÷ U +, – I Operations end commands (such as =, M+, %)

•A parenthesized calculation section has precedence over

other sections of the calculation.

Scientific Notation

People who need to deal with very large and very small numbers often use a special format called exponential or scientific notation.

A number expressed in scientific notation has two parts. The first part consists of a regular decimal number between 1 and

10. The second part represents how large or small the number

is in powers of 10. While a calculation result is displayed in the floating point

system, press @´ to display the result in the scientific notation system. Pressing @´ once again will bring back the floating point system.

To enter a number in scientific notation, press E.

• Use @´ to switch to the scientific notation, press @i, then give a value between 0 and 9 to set the

decimal placement. To reset, press @i 9.

• The number will be displayed in scientific notation if the floating point value does not fit in the following range:

0.000000001 ≤ | x | ≤ 9999999999 The last decimal digit in scientific notation will be rounded off.

Calculating with Fractions

Fractions can be incorporated in an arithmetic calculation. “SIMP” symbol will appear with a calculation result if the an-

swer can further be simplified. Refer to the following section of this manual for details.

– × – = 2 Ø 5 * 1 Ø 3 = 5

How to Simplify a Fraction

Reducing to its simplest form If the result of pressing = is displayed with the “SIMP”

symbol, the calculation can be reduced further. Use the ª key to set the factor of the fraction to simplify, either automatically or manually.

ERROR AND CALCULATION RANGES

Errors

An error will occur if an operation exceeds the calculation ranges, or if a mathematically illegal operation is attempted. When an error occurs, pressing < (or >) automatically moves the cursor back to the place in the equation where the error occurred. Edit the equation or press N to clear the equation.

Error Codes and Error Types

Syntax error (Error 1):

• An attempt was made to perform an invalid operation.

Ex. 2 +- 5 =

Calculation error (Error 2):

• The absolute value of an intermediate or final calculation result equals or exceeds 10

• An attempt was made to divide by 0.

• The calculation ranges were exceeded while performing calculations.

Depth error (Error 3):

• The available number of buffers was exceeded. (There are 8 buffers for numeric values and 16 buffers for calculation instructions).

Equation too long (Error 4):

• The equation exceeded its maximum input buffer (159 characters). An equation must be shorter than 159 characters.

Calculation Ranges

• Within the ranges specified below, this calculator is

accurate to ±1 in the least significant digit of the mantissa. However, a calculation error increases in continuous calculations due to accumulation of each calculation error. (This is the same for yx, continuous calculations are performed internally.)

Additionally, a calculation error will accumulate and become larger in the vicinity of inflection points and singular points of functions.

• Calculation range: ±10 If the absolute value of an entry or a final or intermediate

result of a calculation is less than 10

ered to be 0 in calculations and in the display.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

Notes on Battery Replacement

Improper handling of batteries can cause electrolyte leakage or explosion. Be sure to observe the following handling rules:

• Replace both batteries at the same time.

• Do not mix new and old batteries.

• Make sure the new batteries are the correct type.

• When installing, orient each battery properly as indicated in the calculator.

• The factory-installed batteries may be exhausted before they reach the service life stated in the specifications.

When to Replace the Batteries

If the display has poor contrast or nothing appears on the display even when N is pressed, it is time to replace the batteries.

Caution

• Fluid from a leaking battery accidentally entering an eye could result in serious injury. Should this occur, wash with clean water and immediately consult a doctor.

• Should fluid from a leaking battery come into contact with your skin or clothes, immediately wash with clean water.

• If the product is not to be used for some time, to avoid damage to the unit from leaking batteries, remove them and store in a safe place.

• Do not leave exhausted batteries inside the product.

• Do not fit partially used batteries, and be sure not to mix batteries of different types.

¿¿

¿y, etc. where

¿¿

• Keep batteries out of the reach of children.

• Exhausted batteries left in the calculator may leak and damage the calculator.

• Explosion risk may be caused by incorrect handling.

• Do not throw batteries into a fire as they may explode.

Replacement Procedure

1. Turn the power off by pressing @F.

2. Loosen both screws and remove the battery cover.

3. Replace the old batteries with new, with the positive (+) sides facing up.

4. Replace the battery cover and screws.

5. Press the RESET switch on the back.

• Make sure that the display appears as shown. Otherwise, remove the batteries, reinstall, and check the display again.

Automatic Power Off Function

This calculator will turn its power off automatically if no key is pressed for about 10 minutes.
