INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the SHARP Fraction/Scientific Calculator Model EL-500W. This calculator will help you understand mathematical concepts behind fraction calcula- tion, such as simplification and reduction.

After reading this manual, store it in a convenient location for future reference.

Operational Notes

•Do not carry the calculator around in your back pocket, as it may break when you sit down. The display is made of glass and is particularly fragile.

•Keep the calculator away from extreme heat such as on a car dashboard or near a heater, and avoid exposing it to excessively humid or dusty environments.

•Since this product is not waterproof, do not use it or store it where fluids, for example water, can splash onto it. Raindrops, water spray, juice, coffee, steam, perspiration, etc. will also cause malfunction.

•Clean with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use solvents or wet cloth.•Do not drop it or apply excessive force.•Never dispose of batteries in a fire.•Keep batteries out of the reach of children.

•This product, including accessories, may change due to upgrading without prior notice.

SHARP will not be liable nor responsible for any incidental or consequential economic or property damage caused by misuse and/or malfunctions of this product and its peripherals, unless such liability is acknowledged by law.

♦Press the RESET switch (on the back) only in the follow- ing cases. Note that pressing the RESET switch erases all data stored in memory.

•Before using for the first time•After replacing the batteries•To clear all memory contents•If an abnormal condition occurs and all keys are inop- erative.

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

INITIAL SETUP

Mode Selection

Normal Mode:Used to perform arithmetic operations and function calcula- tions.Statistical Mode:

Used to perform statistical operations. To enter statistical mode, press @”. ’ appears on the display to indicate that the statistical mode is selected. To return to normal mode, press @” with ’ on the display.

’disappears as the calculator returns to normal mode.•The mode will remain selected when the calculator is turned off.•When executing mode selection, last answer memory will be cleared.

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 num- ber 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.

(1.2 ⋅ 1020) ⋅ (1.5 ⋅ 105)	1.2 E20	*1.5 E5 = 1.8⋅1025

[TAB set to 2]	@i2		4.29⋅10–01
→ [Floating point]	@´		0.428571428

•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 @i9.

•The number will be displayed in scientific notation if thefloating point value does not fit in the following range: 0.000000001 ≤ x ≤ 9999999999•The last decimal digit in scientific notation will be rounded off.

Determination of the Angular Unit

In this calculator, the following three angular units (degrees, radians, and grads) can be specified.

DEG (°)Press G

GRAD (g) RAD (rad)

•Pressing “ cannot be followed by pressing a key for another operation such as (+, –, ⋅, ÷), otherwise an error will result.

•The calculator can display a quotient or remainder up to 5 digits in length, including the “–” sign. If numbers longer than 5 digits are entered, normal division is performed.

FRACTION CALCULATIONS

Entering Fractions

• To enter fractions, use the following keys:Ø: Places the symbol “/” between the numerator and the denominator.

∞: Separates the integer (whole number) part from the fractional part of a mixed number.

(n: number of samples)In the statistical calculation formulas, an error will occur:

•the absolute value of the intermediate result or calculation result is equal to or greater than 1 ⋅ 10100.

•the denominator is zero.•an attempt is made to take the square root of a negative number.

Calculation Ranges

•Within the ranges specified below, this calculator is accurate to ±1 of the least significant digit of the man- tissa. However, a calculation error increases in con- tinuous calculations due to accumulation of each cal- culation error. (This is the same for yx, x¿ , etc. where 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: ±10–99~ ±9.999999999⋅1099 and 0.

If the absolute value of an entry or a final or intermediate result of a calculation is less than 10–99, the value is considered to be 0 in calculations and in the display.

•	When installing, orient each battery correctly 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.

•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.
