Elektronika MK-61 Calculator Operating Instructions Foreword This book is an English translation of the original Russian Elektronika MK-61 Operating Instructions guide, circa 1996. There are other original versions of the Russian Elektronika MK-61 Operating Instructions guide, showing different organization and contents. This version was chosen because it was the most recent version found.
Elektronika MK-61 Calculator Operating Instructions 1. Notice to Owners 1.1. When you purchase a micro calculator (MK) please check for all of its delivery contents, namely the MK quality control test, the presence of the warranty card in this manual, the two tear-off maintenance vouchers in compliance with the MK serial number and warranty card, the integrity of the seals on the device, and one power supply unit (PSU).
Elektronika MK-61 Calculator Operating Instructions 3. Safety Instructions 3.1. The power supply calculator can only be opened and repaired by qualified personnel for such procedures. 3.2. Plugging the power supply to the 220VAC power grid without a calculator connected to the adapter is prohibited 3.3.
Elektronika MK-61 Calculator Operating Instructions Primary functions on the key caps 5.1. The exterior view of the original Russian MK-61 is shown in Fig.1 below. - Numeric keys for data entry into the register X, using digits 0 through 9, plus the decimal point.

Elektronika MK-61 Calculator Operating Instructions Additional symbols for shifted keys 5.2. - The F, CF combination cancels the shift key selection. - The F, LST x (F, Вх) combination retrieve the previous value of X after an operation execution. The F, RUN (F, АВТ) combination selects the “RUN” mode, while F, PRG (А, ПРГ) enters into the "PROGRAM”...

The combination K, HH.M.S converts from decimal angular (time) values into sexagesimal degrees (hours), minutes, seconds and fractions of seconds.
Elektronika MK-61 Calculator Operating Instructions Additional register indirect commands 5.3. - This key combination K + GTO(i) (K, БП) does an unconditional indirect branch by jumping to an address stored in of one of the registers RG0 to RG9 and RGa to RGe.
Elektronika MK-61 Calculator Operating Instructions 6. Entering Data and Displaying Results 6.1. MK numeric system - Decimal. The information is displayed on the 12 digits luminous discharge type display, sporting a green glow; it has 8-digits for mantissa, 2-digits for exponent, 1-digit for mantissa sign and another digit for exponent sign.
Elektronika MK-61 Calculator Operating Instructions 7. Modes of Operation and Features 7.1. The MK works in one of two modes: "RUN" or “PROGRAMMING". “RUN” Mode 7.2. The "Run" mode is set immediately after switching ON the MK, or after clicking F, RUN (F, АВТ)
Elektronika MK-61 Calculator Operating Instructions The Register Stack 7.8. The MK has got a memory stack with the registers X, Y, Z, T. After switching on the MK, there is no data in these registers. Entering information into the stack always occurs through the register X.

Elektronika MK-61 Calculator Operating Instructions 7.12. The four stack registers and the previous X value in register X1 facilitate complex calculations 7.13. To store the register X contents into one of the additional 15 memory registers, use the key STO (Х→П) and choose the destination register number with one of...
Elektronika MK-61 Calculator Operating Instructions BCD system and Boolean Operations 7.15. Numbers in the MK are implemented in a BCD system, so Boolean operations can be used on them. The binary values for each number and respective display character are shown in Table 1.
Page 22
Elektronika MK-61 Calculator Operating Instructions 7.16. The output from bitwise logical operations execution is signaled by the presence of the digit “8” on the leftmost part of the displayed number. When you enter values in register X and Y for Boolean operations, it is also necessary to type in a digit other than 0 in the most significant digit of the inputted numbers.
Elektronika MK-61 Calculator Operating Instructions “Programming” Mode F, PROG (F, ПРГ). 7.18. To go into "PROGRAM" mode, press In this mode, the codes for numbers, operations and commands are written into the MK 105 memory cells, from addresses 00 to 104 7.19.
Elektronika MK-61 Calculator Operating Instructions 7.22. Addresses branching from 00 to 99 are typed by pressing the corresponding number keys. Addresses branching from 100 to 104 are used only for direct branching commands and are typed using the key and one of the keys from...
Elektronika MK-61 Calculator Operating Instructions Indirect addressing revisited 7.26. When executing commands for indirect unconditional jump GTO (i) followed by the address register), modification occurs in the contents of the address register after the execution of the command, pointing to a new address.
Elektronika MK-61 Calculator Operating Instructions 9. Technical data Average computation times time for arithmetic, 1/x, √x, and x 9.1. Computation operations: No more than 0.5 seconds. Average computation time for logarithmic calculations and direct and inverse trigonometric functions: No more than 2 seconds.
Elektronika MK-61 Calculator Operating Instructions Power Supply 9.2. The MK power supply takes three battery cells model A-316 "Quantum" or "Prima", and it can use an external power adapter model D2-10M (or similar) to be connected to an 220VAC (50 ±1Hz) power outlet.
Cyrillic text and then it translates to “EGGOG”. Like MK-52, the MK-61 inherits from the Elektronika B3-34 series. All are famous, and one of the reasons is related to this “EGGOG” message, as it allows hacking and exploring the “EGGOG” state to great extent, taking advantage of undocumented “features”.
Defective electrolytic capacitors are a common cause for erratic or total operation failure. The reason for this procedure is related to the fact that the Power Adapter model “Elektronika D2- 10M" output voltage is not regulated. In open circuit it will present about 8.5VDC, while the calculator nominal working voltage is only 4.5VDC.

Elektronika MK-61 Calculator Operating Instructions Use your thumb to gently press the protruding rib portion of the MK battery compartment cover and carefully slide it up. Put fresh A-316 batteries into battery compartment according to the label on the bottom of the compartment, and then insert the cover into the slots and slide it into place.
Elektronika MK-61 Calculator Operating Instructions 12. Storage and Handling 12.1. Use the supplied transport packaging to protect the MK from mechanical damage, dust, moisture, and excessive climatic influences. 12.2 The MK should be stored in a dry heated room at a temperature between 5 and 35°C, and a relative humidity of less than 85%.
Elektronika MK-61 Calculator Operating Instructions 13. Warranty 13.1. The manufacturer guarantees the MK to the technical specifications subject to the operating rules. Warranty period - 24 months from the date of sale. 13.2. In the absence of guarantee vouchers and coupons sales date and shop stamp, the MK warranty period is calculated from the date of manufacture of the MK manufacturer.
