2. Getting Started
2.1. Instalacija baterije
The Sharp EL501X2BWH calculator operates on two LR44 batteries (included). To install or replace batteries:
- Provjerite je li kalkulator isključen.
- Pronađite poklopac odjeljka za baterije na stražnjoj strani kalkulatora.
- Remove the cover using a small screwdriver.
- Insert two new LR44 batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-).
- Vratite sigurno poklopac odeljka za baterije.
Napomena: Always use fresh batteries and dispose of old batteries responsibly.
2.2. Uključivanje i isključivanje
- Da biste uključili kalkulator, pritisnite ON/C dugme.
- Da biste isključili kalkulator, pritisnite 2. F dugme praćeno sa OFF dugme.
2.3. Display Overview
The calculator features a 10-digit, 1-line LCD display. Indicators for various modes (e.g., DEG, RAD, GRAD, CPLX, STAT) will appear on the display to show the current calculator state.

3. Osnovne operacije
3.1. Arithmetic Calculations
Perform basic arithmetic operations using the number keys and the +, -, ×, i ÷ ključevi. Pritisnite = za prikaz rezultata.
- Example: Da biste izračunali 15 + 7: Pritisnite 1 5 + 7 =. Na displeju će se prikazati 22.
3.2. Clear Functions
- Pritisnite CE to clear the last entered number or operation.
- Pritisnite ON/C to clear all entries and reset the calculator to its initial state (except memory).
4. Naučne funkcije
The calculator provides 131 built-in functions. Many keys have secondary functions, accessed by pressing the 2. F key before the desired function key.
4.1. Trigonometric Functions
Koristi grijeh, cos, tan for standard trigonometric calculations. Their inverse functions (grijeh-1, cos-1, tan-1) are accessed via 2. F.
The angle unit can be changed using the DRG ključ. Pritisnite DRG repeatedly to cycle through DEG (degrees), RAD (radians), and GRAD (gradients).
4.2. Logarithmic and Exponential Functions
- Logaritimi: Koristi log (baza 10) i ln (prirodni logaritam).
- Exponentials: Koristi 10x (accessed via 2. F i log) i ex (accessed via 2. F i ln).
4.3. Powers and Roots
- Kvadrat: Koristi x2.
- Kvadratni korijen: Koristi √ (accessed via 2. F i x2).
- Opća snaga: Koristi yx.
- Reciprocal: Koristi 1/x (accessed via 2. F i yx).
4.4. Factorials
Calculate factorials using the n! function (accessed via 2. F i CPLX).
5. Napredne funkcije
5.1. N-Base Calculations (HEX, DEC, BIN, OCT)
The calculator supports calculations in different number bases: hexadecimal (HEX), decimal (DEC), binary (BIN), and octal (OCT). Use the dedicated keys for these operations, typically found above the number keys (e.g., →OCT, →BIN, →DEC, →HEX).

5.2. Complex Number Calculations
To enter and perform calculations with complex numbers, switch to Complex Mode. Press CPLX to activate this mode. The display will show "CPLX".
Refer to the calculator's key markings for specific complex number operations (e.g., real and imaginary part extraction, argument, magnitude).
5.3. Statistics Functions
The calculator supports one-variable statistical calculations. To enter Statistics Mode, press STAT. The display will show "STAT".
Koristite CD sa podacima key to clear statistical data and the M+ key to input data points. Statistical results (mean, standard deviation, etc.) can be retrieved using specific function keys, often accessed via 2. F.
5.4. Funkcije pamćenja
The calculator has one independent memory. Use the following keys:
- M+Dodaje prikazanu vrijednost u memoriju.
- STO: Stores the displayed value into memory.
- RCL: Recalls the value from memory to the display.
6. Održavanje i njega
6.1. Čišćenje
To clean the calculator, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or spray directly onto the calculator, as this may damage the casing ili unutrašnjih komponenti.
6.2. Skladištenje
When not in use, store the calculator in its protective hardcover to prevent scratches and damage. Avoid exposing the calculator to extreme temperatures, humidity, or direct sunlight for extended periods.

7. Otkrivanje problema
7.1. Uobičajeni problemi
- Kalkulator se ne uključuje: Check battery installation and ensure batteries are not depleted. Replace batteries if necessary.
- "Error" message displayed: This usually indicates an invalid operation (e.g., division by zero, taking the square root of a negative number). Press CE or ON/C to clear the error and re-enter the calculation.
- Netačni rezultati: Verify that the correct mode (DEG/RAD/GRAD, Normal/Stat/Complex) is selected for your calculation. Ensure all previous calculations are cleared using ON/C before starting a new one.
7.2. Resetting the Calculator
If the calculator behaves erratically or freezes, a reset may resolve the issue. Locate the RESET button (a small recessed button, often requiring a thin object like a paperclip to press) on the back or front panel. Pressing this button will clear all memory and settings, returning the calculator to its factory default state.
