ture extremes.
Very low temperatures can cause slow display response,
total failure of the display, and shortening of battery life.
Also avoid leaving the calculator in direct sunlight, near
a window, near a heater or anywhere else it might be-
come exposed to very high temperatures. Heat can
cause discoloration or deformation of the calculator’s
case, and damage to internal circuitry.
• Avoid use and storage in areas subjected to large
amounts of humidity and dust.
Tak e care never to leave the calculator where it might
be splashed by water or exposed to large amounts of
humidity or dust. Such elements can damage internal
circuitry.

sers or other tight-fitting clothing where it might be sub-
jected to twisting or bending.

ture before wiping the calculator. Never use thinner, ben-
zine or other volatile agents to clean the calculator. Do-
ing so can remove printed markings and damage the
