The Sharp EL-738XTB requires one CR2032 battery. To install or replace the battery:
- Assurez-vous que la calculatrice est éteinte.
- Repérez le couvercle du compartiment à piles à l'arrière de la calculatrice.

Mode d'emploi
Opérations de base
- Arithmétique: Enter numbers and use the +, -, ×, ÷ clés. Presse = pour le résultat.
- Clear Entry/All Clear: Presse MARCHE/C once to clear the current entry. Press it twice to clear all calculations and memory (except independent memory).
- Second Function: Many keys have a second function, indicated above the key. Press 2e F then the desired key to access its second function.
Financial Functions (TVM)
The calculator is equipped with Time Value of Money (TVM) functions for financial calculations. The primary TVM keys are N (number of periods), I/Y (interest rate per year), PV (present value), PMT (payment), and FV (future value).
- Setting P/Y (Payments per Year): Presse 2e F alors P/Y. Enter the desired number of payments per year (e.g., 12 for monthly) and press ORL.
- Inputting Values: Enter a numerical value, then press the corresponding TVM key (N, I/Y, PV, PMT, ou FV) to store it.
- Calculating Unknown: After inputting at least four of the five TVM variables, press the key for the unknown variable to calculate its value. For example, to find PMT, input N, I/Y, PV, FV, then press PMT.
Amortization Calculation
To calculate amortization schedules, use the AMRT function. This typically follows a TVM calculation where a loan is defined.
Cash Flow Analysis (NPV, IRR)
The calculator supports cash flow analysis using Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR). Use the CFi (Cash Flow Input) and COMP (Compute) keys in conjunction with the VAN et TRI functions (accessed via 2e F).
Dépréciation
The calculator offers three different methodologies for depreciation calculation. Refer to the DÉPR key and its associated second functions for detailed steps.

Fonctions de mémoire
- M+ : Ajoute la valeur affichée à la mémoire indépendante.
- M- : Soustrait la valeur affichée de la mémoire indépendante.
- RCL: Recalls the value from memory.
- STO: Stores the displayed value into a specific memory register.
- M-CLR: Clears the independent memory (likely 2e F + M-CLR).
Paramètres du mode
Appuyez sur le MODE key to access different calculation modes (e.g., COMP for normal calculations, STAT for statistics). Use the arrow keys to navigate and ORL pour sélectionner.
