INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the SHARP Scientific Calculator Model EL-W506/W516/W546.

About the calculation examples (including some formulas and tables), refer to the calculation example sheet. Refer to the number on the right of each title in the manual for use.

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

Notes:

Some of the models described in this manual may not be available in some countries.

This product uses a period as a decimal point.

Operational Notes

directions shown.

2ndF: Appears when @is pressed, indicating that the functions shown in orange are enabled.

HYP: Indicates that Hhas been pressed and the hyperbolic functions are enabled. If @>is pressed, the symbols 2ndF HYP appear, indicating that inverse hyperbolic functions are enabled.

ALPHA: Indicates that ;, xor thas been pressed, and entry (recall) of memory contents and recall of statistics can be performed.

DEG/RAD/GRAD: Indicates angular units.BUSY: Appears during the execution of a calculation.W-VIEW: Indicates that the WriteView editor is selected.M: Indicates that a numerical value is stored in the independent memory (M)./: Indicates the mode of expression for results in CPLX mode.

ENG/SCI/FIX/N2/N1: Indicates the notation used to display a value and changes by SET UP menu. N1 is displayed on-screen as “NORM1”, and N2 as “NORM2”.

BEFORE USING THE CALCULATOR

When using for the fi rst time, press the RESET switch (on the back), with the tip of a ball-point pen or similar object.

Adjusting the Display Contrast

Press @J3, then +or &to adjust the contrast. Press jto exit.

This calculator has the following two editors in NORMAL mode: WriteView and Line. You can select between them in the SET UP menu.

The WriteView editor (default)

The Line editor
