WARNINGS:  Never expose the calculator or batteries to direct heat or
           flame.

           Replace the battery at least once every 3 years, no matter how
           much you use the calculator during that time.  A dead battery
           can cause serious damage to the interior of the calculator. 
           You should change the battery immediately after it appears to
           weaken.

           Avoid using or storing the calculator under very high
           temperatures, such as direct sunlight, in a closed automobile,
           or near a heater.

           Avoid using or storing the calculator or otherwise subjecting
           it to strong impact.

           Never bend or twist the calculator.  Carrying the calculator in
           your back pocket can subject it to abnormal bending or
           twisting.

           Do not press the keys of the calculator with a pen, pencil, or
           other sharp object.

           To clean the calculator, or wipe it off with a soft cloth.
           When necessary, you can wipe the exterior with a soft cloth
           that was dipped in a weak solution of a mild neutral detergent
           and water.

           Never use volatile liquids such as lacquer thinner or benzine
           to clean the calculator.
