OT: A question about the Sharp EL-8131 Message #1 Posted by Marcel Samek on 12 Feb 2013, 12:13 a.m.
I have a question about this ultra simple calculator and was hoping that someone might enlighten me. (Apologies for being just a bit off topic.)
In the manual, in the section on the calculator's "Operations", it begins like this:
----------Quote----------
Before calculation
* To obtain an accurate result, be sure to perform the following operation before starting calculation.
Power switch "ON" -> 0
1.1111111 x= -> 1.2345678
----------End Quote-------------
I am very curious as to why they recommend that one performs that multiply. What could the consequences of not performing it be?
