3. Setup
3.1 Installazzjoni tal-batterija
The Sharp EL-531WHBK calculator is powered by two LR44 batteries, which are included. To install or replace batteries:
- Ensure the calculator is turned OFF.
- Sib l-għatu tal-kompartiment tal-batterija fuq wara tal-kalkulatur.
- Using a small screwdriver, carefully remove the screw securing the cover.
- Remove the cover and insert the two LR44 batteries, ensuring the correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment.
- Ibdel l-għatu tal-kompartiment tal-batterija u waħħalha bil-kamin.
Nota: The calculator also features solar power for extended battery life in well-lit conditions.
3.2 Qawwa Inizjali
Wara l-installazzjoni tal-batterija, agħfas il-buttuna ON/Ċ key to turn on the calculator. The display should show "0" or a similar initial state. If the display is blank or shows unusual characters, recheck battery installation or replace with new batteries.
4. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
This section outlines the various functions and operations of the EL-531WHBK calculator.

Figure 2: Operating the Sharp EL-531WHBK Scientific Calculator.
4.1 Operazzjonijiet Aritmetiċi Bażiċi
Daħħal in-numri billi tuża t-tastiera numerika. Uża l- +, -, ×, u ÷ keys for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, respectively. Press = biex turi r-riżultat.
- Example: Biex tikkalkula 15 + 7: Agħfas 1 5 + 7 =. Result: 22.
4.2 Funzjonijiet Xjentifiċi
The calculator provides a wide array of scientific functions. Many functions require pressing the 2ndF key first to access secondary functions printed above the keys.
- Funzjonijiet Trigonometriċi: Użu dnub, cos, tan. For inverse functions (sin⁻¹, cos⁻¹, tan⁻¹), press 2ndF then the respective trigonometric key.
- Funzjonijiet Logaritmiċi: Użu log (bażi 10) u ln (logaritmu naturali).
- Powers and Roots: Użu x² for squaring, √ for square root. For other powers (xʸ) or roots (ʸ√x), use the yˣ or ʸ√x funzjonijiet.
- Frazzjonijiet: Uża l- a b/c ċavetta għad-dħul u l-konverżjoni tal-frazzjonijiet.
4.3 Funzjonijiet tal-Memorja
The calculator has independent memory (M) and seven variable memories (A-F, X, Y).
- M+: Adds the displayed value to the independent memory.
- M-: Subtracts the displayed value from the independent memory.
- 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
To enter statistical mode, press MODALITÀ then select the appropriate statistical mode (e.g., STAT). Input data using the CD tad-DATA 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. Manutenzjoni
5.1 Tindif
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 Ħażna
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.
5.3 Sostituzzjoni tal-batterija
If the display becomes dim or calculations are erratic, it may be time to replace the batteries. Refer to section 3.1 for battery installation instructions. The calculator uses two LR44 batteries.
6 Issolvi l-problemi
| Problema | Kawża Possibbli | Soluzzjoni |
|---|---|---|
| Il-kalkulatur ma jixgħelx. | Batteriji mejta jew installati ħażin. | Check battery polarity or replace batteries (LR44). |
| Id-displej huwa mċajpar jew qed jitteptep. | Qawwa baxxa tal-batterija. | Replace batteries. Ensure adequate lighting for solar power. |
| "ERROR" message displayed. | Invalid operation (e.g., division by zero, mathematical overflow). | Agħfas ON/Ċ to clear the error and re-enter the calculation. Review the operation for mathematical validity. |
| Riżultati tal-kalkolu mhux korretti. | Incorrect mode setting (e.g., angle unit), input error. | Check the angle unit (DEG/RAD/GRAD). Verify input sequence. Reset calculator if necessary (refer to manual for reset procedure, usually involves a small reset button or specific key combination). |
