2. Configuració

2.1 Desembalatge

Upon opening the package, ensure the following items are present:

• Sharp EL-506TSBBW Scientific Calculator
• Funda rígida protectora
• Manual d'instruccions (aquest document)
• 1 LR44 Battery (pre-installed)

2.2 Font d'alimentació

The EL-506TSBBW calculator utilizes a hybrid power system, combining solar power with a pre-installed LR44 battery.

• Energia solar: The calculator will primarily use solar power when sufficient light is available. Ensure the solar panel, located above the display, is exposed to light during use.
• Potència de la bateria: The LR44 battery provides power in low-light conditions or when solar power is insufficient. The battery is pre-installed and typically does not require immediate replacement.

Per engegar la calculadora ON, premeu ON/C key. To turn the calculator OFF, premeu 2n F seguit de APAGAT/ENCENDENT. The calculator will also automatically power off after a period of inactivity to conserve battery life.

3. Instruccions de funcionament

The Sharp EL-506TSBBW features a 12-digit, 2-line LCD display and 470 functions across 6 modes.

3.1 Display and Basic Input

The 2-line display shows the calculation entry on the upper line and the result on the lower line simultaneously. The Direct Algebraic Logic (D.A.L.) system allows for inputting equations exactly as they are written.

• Entering Numbers: Use the numeric keys (0-9) and the decimal point key (.).
• Operacions bàsiques: Ús +, -, ×, ÷ for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
• És igual a: Premeu = to execute the calculation.
• Esborrar entrada/Esborrar tot: Premeu ON/C once to clear the current entry. Press it twice to clear all calculations and settings.
• Clau d'inici: El CASA key allows users to return to the initial calculation screen, clearing any previously entered data or settings.

3.2 Function Keys and Second Function (2nd F)

Many keys have a secondary function, indicated by text printed above the key, often in a different color (e.g., orange or yellow). To access these functions, press the 2n F key first, then the desired function key.

Les funcions comunes inclouen:

• Funcions trigonomètriques: pecat, cos, bronzejat i les seves funcions inverses (2n F aleshores pecat^-1, etc.).
• Funcions logarítmiques: registre (base 10) i ln (logaritme natural).
• Potències i arrels: x², √, x^y, ^y√x.
• Factorials: n!
• Constants: π (Pi).

3.3 Modes de funcionament

The calculator features 6 operating modes. To change modes, press the MODE key and select the desired mode using the numeric keys.

1. Mode NORMAL: Càlculs aritmètics i científics estàndard.
2. STAT Mode: For statistical calculations (1, 2, and 3 variable statistics, 6 regression types).
3. EQUATION Mode: Solves quadratic and cubic equations.
4. COMPLEX Mode: Per a càlculs de nombres complexos.
5. MATRIX Mode: Performs matrix calculations.
6. LIST Mode: For list-based calculations.

3.4 Funcions de memòria

The EL-506TSBBW includes various memory types to store and recall values.

• Independent Memory (M+): Afegeix el valor mostrat a la memòria. M- subtracts. RCL M recalls.
• Temporary Memories: Eight temporary memories are available for short-term storage.
• Formula Memories: Four formula memories allow storage of frequently used formulas.
• Last Answer Memory (ANS): Stores the result of the previous calculation. Press ANS to recall.

3.5 Funcions avançades

The calculator supports a wide range of advanced mathematical and scientific functions:

• N-BASE Calculations: Perform calculations in Hexadecimal (HEX), Binary (BIN), Decimal (DEC), Octal (OCT), and Pentadecimal (PEN) bases.
• Differential and Integral Functions: Numerical differentiation and integration.
• Equation Editing & Playback: Review and edit previous equations.
• Normal Probability: Calculations related to normal distribution.
• Hyperbolic Trigonometric Functions: sinh, cosh, peix.

4. Manteniment

4.1 Neteja

Per mantenir l'aspecte i la funcionalitat de la calculadora:

• Wipe the calculator's surface with a soft, dry cloth.
• Per a la brutícia persistent, lleugerament dampRenta el drap amb aigua. No utilitzeu productes químics agressius, dissolvents ni netejadors abrasius.
• Avoid getting moisture into the calculator's openings.

4.2 Substitució de la bateria

The calculator uses one LR44 button cell battery. When the display becomes dim or erratic in low light, it may be time to replace the battery.

1. Ensure the calculator is turned OFF.
2. Localitza el compartiment de la bateria a la part posterior de la calculadora.
3. Obriu el compartiment amb cura amb un tornavís petit si cal.
4. Traieu la pila LR44 antiga i inseriu-ne una de nova, assegurant-vos de la polaritat correcta (+/-).
5. Tanqueu el compartiment de la bateria de manera segura.
