Handling precautions

• 

Be sure to press the   key before using the calculator for the first time.

• 

Even if the calculator is operating normally, replace the battery at least once every 

two years.

A dead battery can leak, causing damage to and malfunction of the calculator. Never leave a 

dead battery in the calculator.

• 

The battery that comes with this unit discharges slightly during shipment and storage.

Because of this, it may require replacement sooner than the normal expected battery 

life.

• 

Low  battery  power  can  cause  memory  contents  to  become  corrupted  or  lost 

completely. Always keep written records of all important data.

• 

Avoid use and storage in areas subjected to temperature extremes.

Very low temperatures can cause slow display response, total failure of the display, and 

shortening of battery life, Also avoid leaving the calculator in direct sunlight, near a window, 

neara heater oranywhere else it might be exposed to very high temperatures, Heat can cause 

discoloration or deformation of the calculators case, and damage to internal circuitry.

• 

Avoid use and storage in areas subjected to large amounts of humidity and dust.

Take care never to leave the calculator where it might be splashed by water or exposed to 

large amounts of humidity or dust. Such conditions can damage internal circuitry.

• 

Never drop the calculator or otherwise subject it to strong impact.

• 

Never twist or bend the calculator.

Avoid carrying the calculator in the pocket of your trousers or other tight-fitting clothing where 

it might be subjected to twisting or bending.

• 

Never try to take the calculator apart.

• 

Never press the keys of the calculator with a ball-point pen or other pointed object.

• 

Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the calculator.

If the calculator becomes very dirty, wipe it off with a cloth moistened in a weak solution of 

water and a mild neutral household detergent,Wring out all excess moisture before wiping the 

calculator. Never use thinner, benzene or other volatile agents to clean the calculator. Doing 

so can remove printed markings, and can damage the case.
