How to Operate

Mode key

1. KEY LAYOUT

≈Read Before Using≈

This operation guide has been written based on the EL-W531X, EL-W535X, EL-W531XH,

EL-W531XG, EL-W531, EL-W506X, EL-W516X and EL-W506 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.

(SD): Single variable statistic calculation

(LINE): Linear regression calculation

(QUAD): Quadratic regression calculation

(E_EXP): Eular Exponential regression calculation

(LOG): Logarithmic regression calculation

(POWER): Power regression calculation

2nd function, ALPHA keys

Pressing these keys will enable the

functions written in orange (2nd F)

or green (ALPHA) above the

calculator buttons.

This calculator can operate in three different

modes as follows.

[Normal mode] •Mode = 0; normal mode

arithmetic and function

calculations.

DISPLAY PATTERN

Initial display

The actual display does not appear like this.

This illustration is for explanatory purposes only.

Note: The calculator has two settings for displaying a

floating point number: NORM1(default setting) and

NORM2. In each display setting, a number is

automatically displayed in scientific notation outside a

preset range:

• NORM1: 0.000000001 <

x <

9999999999

• NORM2: 0.01 <

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

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

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

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

• Floating decimal point format 1/2 (N1/N2 is displayed)

Valid values beyond the maximum range are displayed in the form of [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 (SCI is displayed)

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

• Engineering scientific notation (ENG is displayed)

Convenient for converting between different units.

RESET

RESET SWITCH

RESET

If the calculator fails to operate

normally, press the reset switch on

the back to reinitialise the unit. The

display format and calculation mode

will return to their initial settings.

NOTE:

Pressing the reset switch

will erase any data stored

in memory.

4. DISPLAY FORMAT AND

DECIMAL SETTING FUNCTION

Let’s compare the display result of

[10000 8.1 =] in each display format.

5. EXPONENT DISPLAY

(FIX mode TAB = 3)

(SCI mode)

(ENG mode)

(normal mode)

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

cases, the numerical values are divided into mantissa and exponent portions,

displayed and calculated.

What is the number of electrons 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).

6. ANGULAR UNIT

Operation Display

Angular values are converted from DEG to RAD to GRAD with each push of the DRG

key. This function is used when doing calculations related to trigonometric functions or

coordinate geometry conversions.

Degrees (DEG is shown at the top of the display)

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

is expressed as 360

Radians (RAD is shown at the top of the display)

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

ence of a circle. 180

is equivalent to πradians. Therefore, the angular mea-

sure of a circle is 2πradians.

Grads (GRAD 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.

The relationships between the three types

of angular units can be expressed as right:

90° (DEG) =

π/2 (RAD) =

100 (GRAD) =

Check to confirm 90 degrees equalling π/2 radians

equalling 100 grads. (π=3.14159...)

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

calculator display and voids any calculator command; however, coefficients in

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

independent memory in normal mode, are not erased.

Clears all internal values, including the last answer (ANS) 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.

Turns the calculator off.

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 left of the cursor, and

the key deletes the symbol/number at the cursor.

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

Enters the minus symbol.

The subtraction key is not used for entering negative numbers.

Random Key

0. *** (A random number is generated.)

[Random Dice]

To simulate a die-rolling, a random integer between 1and 6can be generated by

pressing . To generate the next random dice number, press .

[Random Coin]

To simulate a coin flip, 0(heads) or 1(tails) can be randomly generated by pressing

. To generate the next random coin number, press .

[Random Integer]

An integer between 0and 99 can be generated randomly by pressing .

To generate the next random integer, press .

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. (Using line mode is preferable since in W-View

mode, the numbers are generated by fractions.)
