1. Introduktion
This manual provides detailed instructions for the proper use and maintenance of your Sharp Scientific Calculator EL-546XTB-SL. Designed for students and professionals, this calculator features Direct Algebraic Logic (D.A.L.) for intuitive input and display, along with a wide range of scientific, statistical, and equation-solving functions. Please read this manual thoroughly to maximize the calculator's capabilities.

This image displays the Sharp EL-546XTB-SL Scientific Calculator. It features a black casing, a two-line LCD display showing '1234567890', and a comprehensive keypad. Key sections include numeric input, arithmetic operations, scientific functions (sin, cos, tan, log, ln), mode selection, and memory functions. The solar panel is visible at the top.
2. Opsætning
2.1 Strømkilde
The EL-546XTB-SL calculator is twin-powered, operating on both solar energy and a lithium-ion battery. Under sufficient lighting, the calculator will primarily use solar power. In low-light conditions, it automatically switches to battery power. The battery is pre-installed and typically does not require immediate replacement.
2.2 Indledende tænding
- Tryk på ON/C key located in the upper right corner of the keypad to turn on the calculator.
- The display will show '0' or the last calculated result.
- If the display is dim or blank, ensure the calculator is exposed to adequate light or consider battery replacement if issues persist after prolonged use.
3. Betjeningsvejledning
3.1 Direct Algebraic Logic (D.A.L.)
The EL-546XTB-SL utilizes Direct Algebraic Logic (D.A.L.), allowing you to input equations exactly as they are written. This simplifies complex calculations by displaying expressions and results in a natural format.
3.2 Basic Arithmetic Operations
Sådan udføres grundlæggende beregninger:
- Enter the first number.
- Press the desired operation key (+, -, ×, ÷).
- Enter the second number.
- Trykke = for at vise resultatet.
3.3 Using Secondary Functions (2nd F) and Alpha Functions (ALPHA)
- Trykke 2. klasse (second function) to access the orange-colored functions printed above certain keys. For example, to calculate sin-1, tryk 2. klasse så synd.
- Trykke ALPHA to access the light blue-colored variables or functions printed above certain keys. This is often used for memory recall or specific modes.
3.4 Valg af tilstand
The calculator offers 6 operational modes. Press the MODE key to cycle through or select a specific mode:
- NORMAL: Standard arithmetic and scientific calculations.
- STAT: Statistical calculations (1-variable and 2-variable).
- COMPLEX: Calculations involving complex numbers.
- MATRIX: Matrix operations.
- LISTE: List-based calculations.
- EQUATION: Solves quadratic, cubic, and 3-variable linear equations.
3.5 Memory Functions
The calculator includes 8 temporary memory buttons and 4 formula memory buttons. Use STO (Butik) og RCL (Recall) keys in conjunction with variable keys (A, B, C, D, X, Y, M, etc.) to manage stored values.
3.6 Equation Solvers
In LIGNING mode, you can solve:
- Quadratic equations (ax2 + bx + c = 0)
- Cubic equations (ax3 + bx2 + cx + d = 0)
- 3-variable linear equations (e.g., ax + by + cz = d)
Follow the on-screen prompts to input coefficients.
3.7 Statistical Calculations
In STAT mode, you can perform 1-variable and 2-variable statistical analyses. Use the DATA-CD key to input data and access statistical results like mean, standard deviation, and regression analysis.
3.8 Physical Constants and Metric Conversions
The calculator includes a library of physical constants and metric conversion functions. Refer to the calculator's key markings and the 2. klasse or ALPHA functions for specific access methods.
4. Key Functions Overview
The EL-546XTB-SL keypad is organized for efficient use. Below is a general overview of key groups:
- Numeric Keys (0-9, .): Til indtastning af tal.
- Arithmetic Operators (+, -, ×, ÷, =): For basic calculations.
- Function Keys (sin, cos, tan, log, ln, x², √, etc.): For scientific and mathematical operations.
- Mode Keys (MODE, HOME): To select operational modes and return to the home screen.
- Modifier Keys (2nd F, ALPHA): To access secondary and alpha functions.
- Memory Keys (STO, RCL, M+, M-): For storing and recalling values.
- Navigation Keys (Arrow keys): To move the cursor on the display for editing expressions.
- Clear/Delete Keys (ON/C, DEL, INS): To clear entries, delete characters, or insert characters.
5. Vedligeholdelse
5.1 Rengøring
To clean the calculator, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or wet cloths, as these can damage the casing eller interne komponenter.
5.2 Opbevaring
Når lommeregneren ikke er i brug, skal den opbevares i dens beskyttende, hårde etui for at forhindre ridser og skader. Undgå at udsætte lommeregneren for ekstreme temperaturer, fugtighed eller direkte sollys i længere perioder.
5.3 Batterioplysninger
The calculator uses one Lithium Ion battery (included). While the calculator is twin-powered, the battery provides backup power. If the display becomes consistently dim even in good lighting, or if the calculator fails to power on, the battery may need replacement. Consult a qualified technician for battery replacement to avoid damaging the device.
6. Fejlfinding
- Skærmen er tom eller svag: Ensure adequate lighting for solar power. If the issue persists, the battery may be low or depleted.
- Calculator does not respond: Tryk på ON/C key. If unresponsive, locate the NULSTIL button (often a small hole requiring a thin object like a paperclip) and press it gently. This will clear all memory and settings.
- Incorrect results: Check the current mode (e.g., DEG/RAD, NORMAL/STAT). Ensure correct input syntax, especially with parentheses. A reset may resolve persistent calculation errors.
- Fejlmeddelelser: Refer to the calculator's on-screen error codes (if any) for specific meanings. Common errors include 'MATH ERROR' (invalid operation) or 'SYNTAX ERROR' (incorrect input format).
