WARNING

FCC Regulations state that any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.

warning Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

  • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
  • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
  • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
  • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

OPERATIONAL NOTES

To insure trouble-free operation of your SHARP calculator, we recommend the following:

  1. The calculator should be kept in areas free fromextreme 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 orstore 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 SHARPservicing dealer, a SHARP approved service facility or SHARP repair service.
  5. Do not operate this unit with the insulation sheetattached; 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 otherwiseforcibly 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.

INK RIBBON REPLACEMENT

  1. Remove the paper roll from the calculator. (Tear the paper and remove it from the print mechanism by using .)
  2. Turn the power off before replacing ribbon.
  3. Remove the printer cover. (Fig. 1)

    Fig. 1
  4. Remove the old ribbon by pulling it up.
  5. Insert the new ribbon.
  6. With the black side of the ribbon facing upwards, place one of the reels on the reel shaft on the right. (Fig. 2)

    Fig. 2

    Make sure that the reel is securely in place.
  7. Thread the ribbon around the outside of the metal guides. (Fig. 3)

    Fig. 3
  8. Take up any slack by manually turning one of the reels.
  9. Replace the printer cover. (Fig. 4)

    Fig. 4
  10. Replace the paper roll.

PAPER ROLL REPLACEMENT

Never insert paper roll if torn. Doing so will cause paper to jam.
Always cut leading edge with scissors first.

  1. Insert the leading edge of the paper roll into the opening. (Fig. 1)

    Fig. 1
  2. Turn the power on and feed the paper by pressing . (Fig. 2)

    Fig. 2
  3. Insert the paper roll to the paper holder. (Fig. 3)

    Fig. 3

information DO NOT PULL PAPER BACKWARDS AS THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO PRINTING MECHANISM.

ERRORS

There are several situations which will cause an overflow or an error condition. When this occurs, "E" will be displayed. The contents of the memory at the time of the error are retained.

If an ''0E'' is displayed at the time of the error, must be used to clear the calculator. If an ''E'' with any numerals except zero is displayed, the error may be cleared with or and the calculation can still be continued.

Also, in rare cases, printing may stop midway and the indication "E" appear on the display. This is not a malfunction but is caused when the calculator is exposed to strong electromagnetic noise or static electricity from an external source. Should this occur, press the key and then repeat the calculation from the beginning.

Error conditions:

  1. Entry of more than 12 digits or 11 decimals. This errorcan be cleared with or .
  2. When the integer portion of an answer exceeds 12 digits.
  3. When the integer portion of the contents of thememory or grand total memory exceeds12 digits.
    ( )
  4. When any number is divided by zero. ( )

REPLACEMENT OF BATTERY FOR MEMORY PROTECTION

Time for battery replacement

Life of the memory protection battery is approximately 2,500 hours at 25°C(77°F) with the power plug not connected to the socket.

* When the memory protection battery is weak, the date/ time setting is initialised (1/1/2005, 12:00:00 a.m.).

Verify the date/time setting in the date/clock display mode when connecting the power plug to the socket. If the date/time setting is modified or incorrect, promptly replace the memory protection battery with new one. (The life of the pre-installed battery may be shorter than expected because of the time the calculator spends during shipment.)

Method of battery replacement

Use one lithium battery (CR2032).


Replacing the battery will clear the date and time settings, and the stored tax rate.

  1. Turn the power switch "OFF" and unplug the power supply plug from the outlet.
  2. Remove the battery cover on the back of the unit. (Fig. 1)
    Method of battery replacement
    Fig. 1
  3. Remove the exhausted battery and install one new lithium battery. Wipe the battery well with a dry cloth and place the plus "+" side upward. (Fig. 2)

    Fig. 2
  4. Replace the battery cover by reversing the removal procedure.
  5. Press the RESET switch on the back of the unit (See "RESETTING THE UNIT").

After battery replacement

  • Connect the power supply plug to an outlet and turn the power switch "ON".
    Check that "0." is displayed. If "0." is not displayed, remove the battery, reinstall it, and check the display again.
  • Readjust date, time, and tax rate settings.
  • On the battery replacement date label found on the back of the unit, write down the month and year when the battery is replaced, as a reference for the next battery replacement.

Precautions on battery use

  • Do not leave an exhausted battery in the equipment.
  • Do not expose the battery to water or flame, and do not take it apart.
  • Store batteries out of the reach of small children.

Notes for handling Lithium batteries


Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.
