GENERAL MAINTENANCE

• Do not use or leave the calculator under direct sunlight. Areas subject to rapid temperature changes, high humidity, dust and dirt should also be avoided.
• Use a dry cloth to clean the casing of the unit. Do not use water or detergents.
• Only use the printer when the paper roll is loaded.
• Avoid using the calculator in places where there are iron filings, as this may affect the electrical circuits of the calculator.
• Do not place anything on top of the machine, particularly on top of the printer mechanism.
• Turn the calculator off before removing the plug from the electrical outlet.
• In case of electrical fault (i.e. smoke), disconnect the plug from the electrical socket-outlet immediately. The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

DECIMAL POINT SELECTOR SWITCH

+ (Add-Mode) – Addition and subtraction functions are performed with an automatic 2-digit decimal. It is convenient for currency calculations.

F (Floating Decimal point) – All effective numbers up to 12 digits are printed or displayed.

ROUNDING SWITCH

Used for round-up [], round-off [5/4], or round-down [] to the pre-selected decimal digits in the result.
