INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the SHARP Scientific Calculator Model
EL-520WG.
About the calculation examples (including some formulas and
tables), refer to the reverse side of this English manual. Refer to
the number on the right of each title in the manual for use.
After reading this manual, store it in a convenient location for
future reference.
Operational Notes
• Do not carry the calculator around in your back pocket, as it
may break when you sit down. The display is made of glass
and is particularly fragile.
• Keep the calculator away from extreme heat such as on a car
dashboard or near a heater, and avoid exposing it to exces-
sively humid or dusty environments.
• Since this product is not waterproof, do not use it or store it
where fluids, for example water, can splash onto it. Raindrops,
water spray, juice, coffee, steam, perspiration, etc. will also
cause malfunction.
• Clean with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use solvents or a wet cloth.
• Do not drop it or apply excessive force.
• Never dispose of batteries in a fire.
• Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
• This product, including accessories, may change due to up-
grading without prior notice.
NOTICE
• SHARP strongly recommends that separate permanent
written records be kept of all important data. Data may be
lost or altered in virtually any electronic memory product
under certain circumstances. Therefore, SHARP assumes
no responsibility for data lost or otherwise rendered unusable
whether as a result of improper use, repairs, defects, battery
replacement, use after the specified battery life has expired,
or any other cause.
• SHARP will not be liable nor responsible for any incidental or
consequential economic or property damage caused by
misuse and/or malfunctions of this product and its peripherals,
unless such liability is acknowledged by law.
♦ Press the RESET switch (on the back), with the tip of a ball-
point pen or similar object, only in the following cases. Do not
use an object with a breakable or sharp tip. Note that pressing
the RESET switch erases all data stored in memory.
• When using for the first time
• After replacing the batteries
• To clear all memory contents
• When an abnormal condition occurs and all keys are inoperative.
If service should be required on this calculator, use only a SHARP
servicing dealer, SHARP approved service facility, or SHARP
repair service where available.

BEFORE USING THE CALCULATOR
Key Notation Used in this Manual
In this manual, key operations are described as follows:
To specify e
To specify ln :
To specify F :
Functions that are printed in orange above the key require @ to
be pressed first before the key. When you specify the memory,
press K first. Numbers for input value are not shown as keys,
but as ordinary numbers.
Power On and Off
Press ª to turn the calculator on, and @F to turn it off.

[Memory clear key]
Press @∏ to display the menu.
• To clear all variables (M, A-F, X, Y, ANS,
STAT VAR), press 00 or 0®.
• To RESET the calculator, press 10 or 1®.
The RESET operation will erase all data stored in memory, and
restore the calculator's default setting.
Entering and Correcting the Equation
[Cursor keys]
• Press < or > to move the cursor. You can also return to
the equation after getting an answer by pressing > (<).
See the next section for using the [ and ] keys.
• See 'SET UP menu' for cursor use in the SET UP menu.
[Insert mode and Overwrite mode in the Equation display]
• Pressing @' switches between the two editing modes:
insert mode (default); and overwrite mode. A triangular cursor
indicates that an entry will be inserted at the cursor, while the
rectangular cursor indicates to overwrite preexisting data as you
make entries.
• To insert a number in the insert mode, move the cursor to the
place immediately after where you wish to insert, then make a
desired entry. In the overwrite mode, data under the cursor will
be overwritten by the number you enter.
• The mode set will be retained until the next RESET operation.
←Symbol
[Deletion key]
• To delete a number/function, move the cursor to the number/
function you wish to delete, then press d. If the cursor is
located at the right end of an equation, the d key will function
as a back space key.
Multi-line Playback Function
Previous equations may be recalled in the normal mode. Equations
also include calculation ending instructions such as "=" and a maxi-
mum of 142 characters can be stored in memory. When the memory
is full, stored equations are deleted in the order of the oldest first.
Pressing [ will display the previous equation and the answer.
Further pressing [ will display preceding equations (after re-
turning to the previous equation, press ] to view equations in
order). In addition, @[ can be used to jump to the oldest
equation.

tion, angle unit conversion, coordinate conversion, N-base con-
version, numerical value storage to the temporary memories and
independent memory.

[Selecting the Display Notation and Decimal Places]
Four display notation systems are used to display calculation re-
sults: Floating point; Fixed decimal point; Scientific notation; and
Engineering notation.
• When the FIX, SCI, or ENG symbol is displayed, the number of decimal
places (TAB) can be set to any value between 0 and 9. Displayed
values will be reduced to the corresponding number of digits.
[Setting the Floating Point Numbers System in Scientific Notation]
Two settings are used to display a floating point number: NORM1
(default setting) and NORM2. A number is automatically displayed
in scientific notation outside a preset range:
• NORM1: 0.000000001 ≤ ≤ 9999999999
 x 
• NORM2: 0.01 ≤ ≤ 9999999999
 

Determination of the Angular Unit
In this calculator, the following three angular units (degrees, radians,
and grads) can be specified.
DEG (°)
Press
@G
GRAD (g)
SCIENTIFIC CALCULATIONS
• Press m0 to select the normal mode.
• In each example, press ª to clear the display. If the FIX, SCI,
or ENG indicator is displayed, clear the indicator by selecting
'NORM1' from the SET UP menu.
Arithmetic Operations
• The closing parenthesis ) just before = or ; may be
omitted.
Constant Calculations
• In constant calculations, the addend becomes a constant. Sub-
traction and division are performed in the same manner. For
multiplication, the multiplicand becomes a constant.
• In the constants calculations, constants will be displayed as K.
Functions
• Refer to the calculation examples of each function.
• Before starting calculations, specify the angular unit.
Random Function
The Random function has four settings for use in the normal or
statistics mode. (This function cannot be selected while using the
N-Base function.) To generate further random numbers in succes-
sion, press ®. Press ª to exit.
• The generated pseudo-random number series is stored in memory
Y. Each random number is based on a number series.
[Random Numbers]
A pseudo-random number, with three significant digits from 0 up to
0.999, can be generated by pressing @`0®.
