8. പ്രശ്നപരിഹാരം
If you encounter issues with your Franklin Scientific Graphing Calculator, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
8.1. ഡിസ്പ്ലേ പ്രശ്നങ്ങൾ
- ശൂന്യമായ സ്ക്രീൻ: ബാറ്ററി ഇൻസ്റ്റാളേഷനും ചാർജ് ലെവലും പരിശോധിക്കുക. ആവശ്യമെങ്കിൽ ബാറ്ററികൾ മാറ്റിസ്ഥാപിക്കുക.
- മങ്ങിയ ഡിസ്പ്ലേ: Adjust display contrast if available (refer to specific key combinations in the full user guide). Low battery can also cause this.
8.2. Calculation Errors
- Syntax Error: This often indicates an incorrect input format. Review your equation for misplaced parentheses, operators, or invalid function arguments. Ensure you are using the correct mode for the calculation.
- Math Error: Occurs when the result of a calculation is mathematically undefined (e.g., division by zero, square root of a negative number).
- Overflow/Underflow Error: The result exceeds the calculator's display capacity.
8.3. Calculator Unresponsive
If the calculator becomes unresponsive, try pressing the പുനഃസജ്ജമാക്കുക button (often a small, recessed button requiring a paperclip to press). This will clear all memory and return the calculator to its default settings.
