CONGRATULATIONS! You are now the proud owner of one of the most advanced Electronic Slide Rules available today — the Bohn Omnitrex SR-1. This versatile electronic instrument not only silently performs the four baéle arithmetic functions Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, but also performs more advanced calculations euch as extracting square roots, squares, recip. Focals, and percentages, all with true credit balance. The Bohn Sit also has a full function storage memory plus floating or fixed decimal The SR-1 comes complete with built in rechargeable batteries for a lifetime service and a combination AC adapter/charger, The Bohn SR-1 is constructed of the most advanced space-age micro cir- cuits combined with one of the largest, easiest to read displays available ina hand held calculator, With proper care your Bohn SR-1 will provide dependable service for many years to come.KEYBOARD AND DISPLAY ae $$64668B6 1.

Just plug the charger/adapter into an elec- trical outlet and the charger/adapter cord into the power cord socket on the machine. A full charge should take about 12 hours. HOW TO USE “AC” POWER Turn ON/OFF switch to “OFF” Plug the AC charger/adapter into 110 volt, AC power source. insert the socket at the other end of the cord into the receptacle located on the calculator. ‘Turn the ON-OFF switch to “ON” position. Your calculator now is being operated thru “AC power ‘source, and is being charged at the same time. HOW TO USE “BATTERY” POWER 1 your unit was previously being operated by AC power source, then to use unit on “battery” power, move the ON-OFF switch to “OFF”. Disconnect socket from calculator, then turn the ON-OFF switch to “ON” again. Your calculator fs now ready to be operated on “Battery” power source. LOW BATTERY INDICATION When battery power supply values are reduced to a sutticiently tow level o produce erroneous calcula tions, a special symbol (L) Is displayed on the left most digit of the display. Batteries should then be fully recharged. Under normal usage your Bohn S/R will operate efficiently for approximately 4 hours ‘on fully recharged batteries.GENERAL INFORMATION All numbers are entered in sign/magnitude format. A true algebraic sys- tem is provided go that key sequences reflect precisely the manner in which a problem is written or stated. EXAMPLE (2243-5) x -(6) e Koy sequence -2+3-5x -6 + ~B = -3 DECIMAL OPERATIONS When the unit is first turned on, itis automatically set in floating deci- ‘mal mode. Entry into tho fixed decimal mode is accomplished using a specitic key sequence: ‘= N where N may be any numeral key from 0-7. Example: {or 4 places depress= 4. You may change the decimal tes ing by redoing the sequence with another N. However, when returning to the floating decimal, machine must be turned “OFF” and then "ON"ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION ENTER TOUCH DISPLAY NOW NUMBERS FUNCTIONKEY READS.

Do not drop or give a strong shock or vibration to the machine, 2. Power switch must be always “OFF” when power cord is pulled out or to switch power sources between "AG and BAT” 8. Direct rays of the aun or a stove, etc. which gives direct heat for long hours must be avoided. 4. When removing dust from the machine, use either neutral cieaner or plas tic cleaner. Do not use volatile matter, such as paint thinner or wet cloth. 5, Please put it in the carying case when traveling.
