This operation guide has been written based on the EL-531V, EL-509V, EL-531VH, and

EL-509VH models. Some functions described here are not featured on other models. In

addition, key operations and symbols on the display may differ according to the model.

For convenient and easy operation, this model can be used in one of four display modes.

The selected display status is shown in the upper part of the display (Format Indicator).

N ote: If more 0’s (zeros) than needed are displayed when the O N /C key is pressed, check

whether or not the calculator is set to a Special Display Format.

• Floating decimal point format (no symbol is displayed)

Valid values beyond the maximum range are displayed in the form of a [10-digit

(mantissa) + 2-digit (exponent)]

• Fixed decimal point format (FIX is displayed)

Displays the fractional part of the calculation result according to the specified

number of decimal places.

• Scientific notation (SC I is displayed)

Frequently used in science to handle extremely small or large numbers.

• Engineering scientific notation (EN G is displayed)

C onvenient for converting between different units.

The distance from the earth to the sun is approx. 150,000,000 (1.5 x 108) km.Values

such as this with many zeros are often used in scientific calculations, but entering the

zeros one by one is a great deal of work and it’s easy to make mistakes.

In such a case, the numerical values are divided into mantissa and exponent portions,

displayed and calculated.

<Example> W hat is the number of electronics flowing in a conductor when

the electrical charge across a given cross-section is 0.32 cou-

lombs. (The charge on a single electron = 1.6 x 10-19coulombs).

D egrees (D E G is shown at the top of the display)

A commonly used unit of measure for angles.T he angular measure of a circle

is expressed as 360°.

R adians (R A D is shown at the top of the display)

Radians are different than degrees and express angles based on the circumfer-

ence of a circle. 180° is equivalent to radians.Therefore, the angular mea-

sure of a circle is 2 radians.

G r ads ( G R A D is shown at the top of the display)

Grads are a unit of angular measure used in Europe, particularly in France. An

angle of 90 degrees is equivalent to 100 grads.

Turns the calculator on or clears the data. It also clears the contents of the

calculator display and voids any calculator command; however, coeffi-

cients in 3-variable linear equations and statistics, as well as values stored

in the independent memory in normal mode, are not erased.

Turns the calculator off.

C lears all internal values, including coefficients in 3-variable linear equations and

statistics.Values stored in memory in normal mode are not erased.

These arrow keys are useful for Multi-Line playback, which lets you

scroll through calculation steps one by one. (refer to page 8)

These keys are useful for editing equations.The key moves the

cursor to the left, and the key moves the cursor to the right.The

key deletes the symbol/number at the cursor. (refer to page 8)

Data Entry Keys

Provided the earth is moving around the sun in a circular orbit,

how many kilometers will it travel in a year?

* T he average distance between the earth and the sun being

1.496 x 108km.

C ircumference equals diameter x π; therefore,

1.496 x 108x 2 x π

0 to 9

Pressing πautomatically enters the value for π(3.14159...).

The constant π, used frequently in function calculations, is the ratio of the

circumference of a circle to its diameter.

Random

Generates random numbers.

Random numbers are three-decimal-place values between 0.000 and 0.999. Using this

function enables the user to obtain unbiased sampling data derived from random

values generated by the calculator.

Function to round calculation results.

Even after setting the number of decimal places on the display, the calculator per-

forms calculations using a larger number of decimal places than that which appears

on the display. By using this function, internal calculations will be performed using

only the displayed value.

A P P L IC AT I O N S:

Frequently used in scientific and technical fields, as well as business,

when performing chained calculations.
