OPERATIONAL NOTES
To insure trouble-free operation of your SHARP calculator, we recommend the
following:
1. The calculator should be kept in areas free from extreme temperature changes,
moisture, and dust.
2. A soft, dry cloth should be used to clean the calculator. Do not use solvents
or a wet cloth.
3. Since this product is not waterproof, do not use it or store it where fluids, for
example water, can splash onto it. Raindrops, water spray, juice, coffee,
steam, perspiration, etc. will also cause malfunction.
4. If service should be required, use only a SHARP servicing dealer, a SHARP
approved service facility or SHARP repair service.
5. Do not operate this unit with the insulation sheet attached; the insulation
sheet prevents the battery wear while shipping, and can be found on the
back of the unit's body. If the insulation sheet is not removed, the previously
set date and time, as well as the tax rate information will be cleared as soon
as the AC power is accidentally unplugged.
6. Do not wind the AC cord around the body or otherwise forcibly bend or twist
it.
SHARP will not be liable nor responsible for any incidental or
consequential economic or property damage caused by misuse and/or
malfunctions of this product and its peripherals, unless such liability is
acknowledged by law.
