ENGLISH SCIENTIFIC CALCULATOR EL-W506 EL-W516 MODEL EL-W546 OPERATION MANUAL PRINTED IN CHINA / IMPRIMÉ EN CHINE / IMPRESO EN CHINA 07HGK (TINSE1307EHZZ) 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 • 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.

Hard Case Remove the hard case, holding it with your fingers in the positions shown below. DISPLAY Symbol Dot matrix display Mantissa Exponent • During actual use, not all symbols are displayed at the same time. • Only the symbols required for the usage currently being explained are shown in the display and calculation examples in this manual. / : Indicates that some contents are hidden in the / directions shown. 2ndF: Appears when @ is pressed, indicating that the functions shown in orange are enabled. HYP: Indicates that H has 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 ;, x or t has 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 first time, press the RESET switch (on the back), with the tip of a ball-point pen or similar object. Adjusting the Display Contrast Press @ J 3, then + or & to adjust the contrast. Press j to exit. Power On and Off Press j to turn the calculator on. The data that was onscreen when the power was turned off will appear on the display. Press @ o to turn the calculator off. Key Notations Used in this Manual In this manual, key operations are described as follows: To specify ex: @ " To specify ln: i To specify E: ; E • Functions that are printed in orange above the key require @ to be pressed first before the key. When you specify the memory, press ; first. Numbers for input values are not shown as keys, but as ordinary numbers. • Functions that are printed in gray adjacent to the keys are effective in specific modes. • The multiplication operator "ʷ" is differentiated from the letter "X" in this manual as follows: To specify the multiplication operator: k To specify the letter "X": ; X The WriteView and Line Editors 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 Notes: • The WriteView Editor is only available in NORMAL mode. • In certain calculation examples, where you see the o symbol, the key operations and calculation results are shown as they would appear in the Line editor.

Memory clear key Press @ P to display the menu. • To initialize the display settings, press 0. The parameters are set as follows: • Angular unit: DEG • Display notation: NORM1 • N-base: DEC • To clear all variables and memories (A−F, M, X, Y, F1−F4, D1−D4, ANS, STAT, matA−D, and L1−L4) at once, press 1 0. • To RESET the calculator, press 2 0. The RESET operation will erase all data stored in memory and restore the calculator's default settings. You can do the same thing by pressing the RESET switch on the back of the calculator.
