Error codes and error typesERROR 01: Syntax errorAn attempt was made to perform an invalid operation. Ex. 2 +&5 =ERROR 02: Calculation error

The absolute value of an intermediate or fi nal calculation result equals or exceeds 10100.

An attempt was made to divide by zero (or an intermediate calculation resulted in zero).

The calculation ranges were exceeded while performing calculations.ERROR 03: Nesting error

The available number of buffers was exceeded. (There are 10 buffers for numeric values and 64 buffers for calculation instructions).

Cannot delete!The selected item cannot be deleted by pressing Nor @yin the WriteView editor.Ex. *5 rAlN

In this example, delete the exponent before attempting to delete the parentheses.

Cannot call!

The function or operation stored in defi nable memory (D1 to D4) cannot be called.

Ex. An attempt was made to recall a statistical variable from within NORMAL mode.

Buffer full!

The equation (including any calculation ending instructions) exceeded its maximum input buffer (159 characters in the WriteView editor or 161 characters in the Line editor). An equation may not exceed its maximum input buffer.

 

 

Calculation Ranges

19

Within the ranges speciÞed, this calculator is accurate to

 

±1 of the 10th 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, xr, n!, ex, ln, etc., where continuous calculations

 

are performed internally.)

 

Additionally, a calculation error will accumulate and

 

become larger in the vicinity of inßection points and

 

singular points of functions.

Calculation ranges

 

 

±1099 to ±9.999999999

1099 and 0.

If the absolute value of an entry or a fi nal or intermediate result of a calculation is less than 1099, the value is considered to be 0 in calculations and in the display.

Display of results using r

Calculation results may be displayed using r when all of the following conditions are met:

When intermediate and fi nal calculation results are displayed in the following form:

±aPb ± cPd

⎯ ⎯

e f

• When each coeffi cient falls into the following ranges: 1 a < 100; 1 < b < 1,000; 0 c < 100;

1 d < 1,000; 1 e < 100; 1 f < 100

When the number of terms in the intermediate and fi nal calculation results is one or two.

Note: The result of two fractional terms that include r will be reduced to a common denominator.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

Notes on Battery Replacement

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

Make sure the new battery is the correct type.When installing, orient the battery properly as indicated in the calculator.

The battery is factory-installed before shipment, and may be exhausted before it reaches the service life stated in the specifi cations.

Notes on erasure of memory contents

When the battery is replaced, the memory contents are erased. Erasure can also occur if the calculator is defective or when it is repaired. Make a note of all important memory contents in case accidental erasure occurs.

When to Replace the Battery

EL-W531/W531H/W531HA/W535: If the display has poor contrast even after adjusting the display contrast, the battery requires replacement.

EL-W531G: If the display has poor contrast or nothing appears on the display when jis pressed in dim lighting, even after adjusting the display contrast, it is time to replace the battery.

Cautions

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 fl uid from a leaking battery come in 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 a leaking battery, remove it and store in a safe place.

Do not leave an exhausted battery inside the product.

Keep batteries out of the reach of children.

An exhausted battery left in the calculator may leak and damage the calculator.

Explosion risk may be caused by incorrect handling.Do not throw batteries into a fi re as they may explode.

Replacement Procedure

1.Turn the power off by pressing @o.2.Remove the two screws. (Fig. 1)3.Slide the battery cover slightly and lift it to remove.

4.EL-W531/W531G/W535: Remove the used battery by prying it out with a ball-point pen or other similar pointed device. (Fig. 2)

EL-W531H/W531HA: Remove the used battery.

5.EL-W531/W531G/W535: Install one new battery. Make sure the “+” side is facing up.

EL-W531H/W531HA: Install one new battery. First insert the “” side toward the spring. (Fig. 3)

6.Replace the cover and screws.

7.Press the RESET switch (on the back) with the tip of a ball-point pen or similar object.

8.Adjust the display contrast. See “Adjusting the Display Contrast”.

• Make sure that the display appears as shown below. If the display does not appear as shown, remove the battery, reinstall it, and check the display once again.
