Sharp QT8B (Micro Compet)

Details:

A very early machine using LSI chips. Probably the first using rechargeable  batteries making it truly portable.

The display uses rather artistic digits with a kind of half-size zero.

When connected to the charger a switch inside the calculator connector prohibits power to the calculator electronics.

Note:  Before it can be used it needs two resets using the “C” key.


Addition/subtraction:

As in mechanical calculators using the + =” key and “- =” key


Multiplication:

Enter first number, “X :” key, second number, “+ =” key

Division

Enter first number, “X :” key, second number,  red “- =” key
