MANNICS MSR-40

Description

Brand: MANNICS
Model: MSR-40
Type: Scientific calculator
Picture: MANNICS MSR-40
Batteries: AA x 4 (Plain or rechargeable)
Lifetime: Introduced: unknown
Terminated: unknown
Notes: This is a strange calculator. When you first see it you might think it’s a plain four-function calculator but it is actually a scientific one, of sorts.

The key placement is really odd. The = key is somewhere in the middle of the rightmost column, and the F key (to select the scientific functions) is somewhere in the middle as well.

Really strange for a scientific calculator is the fact that there’s no scientific notation for really small and really large numbers.
Errors are denoted using this symbol: Error display

There’s a slider to switch between radians and degrees.

This calculator can use rechargeable batteries, there is a slider in the battery compartment to switch between normal and rechargeable batteries.

Thanks Peter Langbroek for providing me with the caluclator's model number. It is not visible anywhere on the calculator itself, only on its manual.

Peripherals

A power adapter.
