Configuració

Instal·lació de la bateria

The TI-30X IIB calculator is powered by one Lithium metal battery. To install or replace the battery:

1. Apagueu la calculadora.
2. Localitzeu la tapa del compartiment de la bateria a la part posterior de la calculadora.
3. Amb un tornavís petit, retireu amb cura els cargols que fixen la tapa de la bateria.
4. Remove the cover and insert the new Lithium metal battery, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
5. Replace the battery cover and secure it with the screws.

Encès inicial

Premeu el botó ON button to turn on the calculator. The display should show a clear screen, ready for input. If the display is dim or blank, check the battery installation.

Instruccions de funcionament

Càlculs bàsics

Enter numbers and operations in the order they appear. For exampper calcular 5 + 3, premeu 5 + 3 =.

Pantalla de dues línies

The top line of the display shows the entered expression, and the bottom line shows the result. This allows for easy review of your input.

Direct Algebraic Entry (DAE)

The calculator uses DAE, meaning you enter expressions in the same order as they are written mathematically, following standard order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS).

Accessing Secondary Functions

Many keys have a secondary function printed above them. To access these functions, press the 2n key (usually located in the top left) followed by the desired function key.

Funcions de memòria

The calculator has 5 variable memories (A, B, C, D, E). To use them:

• Botiga: Enter a value, press STO>, then press the variable key (e.g., A).
• Recorda: Premeu RCL, then press the variable key (e.g., A).
• Esborra: To clear a specific memory, store 0 into it. To clear all memories, consult the calculator's on-screen menu or specific clear function if available.

Funcions científiques

The calculator includes standard scientific functions:

• Trigonometric: sin, cos, tan, and their inverses (accessed via 2n). Ensure the correct angle mode (DEG, RAD, GRAD) is selected.
• Logarítmic: log, ln, and their inverses (10^x, e^x).
• Potències i arrels: x², √, x^y, y√x.
• Fraccions: Use the fraction key (a b/c) to enter and perform calculations with fractions.

Manteniment

Neteja

Wipe the calculator with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the casing o pantalla.

Canvi de bateria

Replace the battery when the display becomes dim or the calculator functions erratically. Refer to the "Battery Installation" section for detailed steps.

Emmagatzematge

Store the calculator in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for an extended period, consider removing the battery to prevent leakage.

Resolució de problemes

• La calculadora no s'encén:
  • Assegureu-vos que la bateria estigui correctament instal·lada i que no estigui esgotada. Substituïu-la si cal.
  • Premeu el botó ON botó fermament.
• La pantalla està tènue o en blanc:
  • Substituïu la bateria.
  • Adjust display contrast if your model supports it (consult specific model documentation if available).
• Resultats incorrectes:
  • Check your input for errors.
  • Verify the correct angle mode (DEG, RAD, GRAD) is selected for trigonometric functions.
  • Clear all memory and reset the calculator (if a reset button or function is available, typically a small hole on the back requiring a paperclip).
• Les tecles no responen:
  • Assegureu-vos que no hi hagi deixalles enganxades sota les claus.
  • Try pressing the key multiple times. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
