FAQs

Is this calculator allowed in all UK exams?

Yes, the Casio fx-991CW+ is approved for use in every UK exam where a calculator is permitted.

What is the Natural Textbook Display?

The Natural Textbook Display shows mathematical expressions, fractions, and symbols exactly as they appear in textbooks, making them easier to read and understand.

How do I switch between degrees and radians?

Press the 'SHIFT' button, then the 'MODE' button (SETUP). Use the arrow keys to navigate to the angle setting and select the desired unit (DEG, RAD, or GRA).

How can I solve a quadratic equation?

Press 'MODE' and select 'EQN' (Equation mode). Choose the option for a quadratic equation (usually indicated by a symbol like ax²+bx+c=0). Enter the coefficients a, b, and c, then press '=' to find the solutions.

What does the dual power system mean?

It means the calculator uses both solar energy and a battery backup. This ensures it functions reliably under various lighting conditions, especially important during exams.

How do I reset the calculator to factory settings?

Press 'SHIFT', then 'MODE' (SETUP). Navigate to 'CLR' (usually option 9) and select 'All' (option 1). Confirm by pressing '='.

Can this calculator handle complex numbers?

Yes, the fx-991CW+ has functions for complex number calculations, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of complex numbers.

Troubleshooting

Display is blank or faint

Ensure the calculator is exposed to sufficient light for the solar panel. Check if the battery needs replacement if solar power is not enough. Press the 'ON' button.

Incorrect calculations

Verify that the calculator is in the correct mode (e.g., degrees vs. radians). Ensure inputs match the Natural Textbook Display format. Reset the calculator to factory settings if problems persist.

Buttons are unresponsive

Clean the calculator surface. If the issue continues, the calculator may require servicing. Try turning it off and on again.

Error messages appear

Read the error message carefully. Consult the user manual for specific error code explanations and solutions. Often, this involves correcting the input or sequence of operations.
