A FEW PRECAUTIONS
CHAPTER 1 A FEW PRECAUTIONS
What will they think of next?
The Sharp EL-6300
Five different versatile, highly useful devices inside one extraordinary calculator
so small it easily slips into a shirt pocket or small purse .
• An electronic telephone / address directory
capable of holding dozens of names , telephone numbers , addresses , and
other additional helpful information for up to 80 characters p e r entry.
• An electronic calendar
that permits you to write yourself memos up to 80 characters long on
errands, business meetings , luncheon engagements, and other daily
events that are stored by date for instant recall .
• An electronic notebook
that lets you dispense with pen and paper to quickly key in ideas , memos,
comments , shopping lists , or whatever else comes to mind .
•A secret password
If there are some things you do not want others to read , you can assign a
secret password that protects those confidential entries in three modes :
TEL memo mode , SCHEDULE memo mode , and NOTE memo mode
while the rest of the information can be freely read.
• A multifunction calculator with percent , constant , repeat , memory , and other
functions as well as the four basic arithmetic operations.
• A powerful calculator
programmable in simplified BASIC language, with eightfunction keys that
can be used to make versatile, powerful programs.
This manual explains how each of these features works and provides examples
so you can easily master the numerous operations provided by the calculator.
The Sharp EL-6300 - five different devices in one, all designed to help you do
your own thinking .
INTRODUCTION

• W he n changing modes , move the operation mode switch completely over to
