4.1 Operações Aritméticas Básicas
Digite os números usando o teclado numérico. Use o +, -, ×, e ÷ Teclas para adição, subtração, multiplicação e divisão, respectivamente. Pressione = para exibir o resultado.
- Exampem: To calculate 15 + 7: Press 1 5 + 7 =. Result: 22.
4.2 Funções Científicas
The calculator provides a wide array of scientific functions. Many functions require pressing the 2ºF key first to access secondary functions printed above the keys.
- Funções trigonométricas: Usar pecado, porque, bronzeado. For inverse functions (sin⁻¹, cos⁻¹, tan⁻¹), press 2ºF then the respective trigonometric key.
- Funções Logarítmicas: Usar registro (base 10) e ln (logaritmo natural).
- Poderes e Raízes: Usar x² for squaring, √ for square root. For other powers (xʸ) or roots (ʸ√x), use the yˣ or ʸ√x funções.
- Frações: Use o abc Chave para entrada e conversão de frações.
4.3 Funções de memória
The calculator has independent memory (M) and seven variable memories (A-F, X, Y).
- M+: Adiciona o valor exibido à memória independente.
- M-: Subtrai o valor exibido da memória independente.
- RCL: Recalls the value from memory.
- STO: Stores the displayed value into a variable memory. Press STO then the desired variable key (e.g., A).
4.4 Statistical Calculations
Para entrar no modo estatístico, pressione MODO then select the appropriate statistical mode (e.g., STAT). Input data using the DATA CD key. The calculator can perform various statistical calculations, including mean, standard deviation, and regression analysis.
4.5 Angle Unit Modes
The calculator supports three angle unit modes: Degrees (DEG), Radians (RAD), and Gradians (GRAD). Press the DRG key repeatedly to cycle through these modes. The current mode is indicated on the display.
5. Manutenção
5.1 Limpeza
To clean the calculator, wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or spray directly onto the calculator.
5.2 Armazenamento
When not in use for extended periods, store the calculator in its protective hard case in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
