How long does the battery typically last?

How do I switch between angle units?

Troubleshooting

The screen is blank or displays faint text.

Ensure the solar panel is receiving adequate light or check if the LR44 battery needs replacement.

Calculation results are appearing in decimals instead of fractions.

Check your setup menu to ensure the input/output mode is set to 'Math/Math' rather than 'Math/Decimal'.

The calculator is unresponsive to button presses.

Perform a soft reset by pressing the 'Reset' button on the back of the device with a fine-pointed tool.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent for high school and university-level mathematics
  • Formulae look exactly as they do in textbooks
  • Dual solar and battery power prevents unexpected shutdown
  • Compact and lightweight for easy transport
  • Approved for all major UK curriculum exams

Cons

  • No integrated backlight for darker settings
  • Display is not tilt-adjustable

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The calculator requires minimal setup and is ready for use out of the box. Ensure the LR44 battery is properly seated in the rear compartment to complement the solar panel. To maintain the device, keep the screen free of dust by wiping it gently with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid placing heavy objects on the screen, as the surface is not protected by a hard cover. Ensure the calculator is stored in a cool, dry place to protect the internal circuitry and maximize the 3-year estimated battery lifespan.
