FAQs
What type of battery does the Casio SL-310YC use?
It uses a single LR54 battery as a backup power source, in addition to its solar power capabilities.
How do I perform a tax calculation?
You can input your base price, press the '+' key, then input the tax rate as a percentage (e.g., 5%), and press the '=' key. The calculator can also display net and tax amounts separately based on your input sequence.
Can this calculator perform square root calculations?
Yes, the SL-310YC has a dedicated square root function key.
What does 'key rollover' mean?
Key rollover means that a key press is registered even if you press the next key before the previous one is released. This helps prevent lost input during rapid typing.
Is the protective case permanently attached?
No, the protective case is hinged and can be opened and closed to cover or reveal the calculator.
How accurate are the time calculations?
The time calculations are precise for hours, minutes, and seconds, and conversions to decimal format are accurate based on standard time-keeping principles.
Can I save the tax rate for future use?
Yes, the tax rate can be saved in memory for repeated use in tax calculations.
Troubleshooting
Calculator does not turn on.
Ensure the solar panel is exposed to sufficient light. Press the ON/AC button firmly. Check if the backup battery needs replacement if solar power is insufficient.
Display is dim or unreadable.
Expose the solar panel to a brighter light source. Clean the display screen with a soft cloth.
Incorrect calculations are being performed.
Press the ON/AC button to clear all previous entries and calculations. Review your input sequence carefully, paying attention to the order of operations and function keys used.
Keys are unresponsive.
Ensure there is no debris lodged under the keys. Wipe the key surface with a dry cloth. If the issue persists, the calculator may require servicing.
