UPDATEABLE ELECTRICAL CODE CALCULATOR
Model 5065
User’s Guide
The
ElectriCalc
®
Pro
is an invaluable
calculator for today’s busy electrical
professional. Unlike a regular calculator, it
has intuitively labeled “electrical keys” and
conforms to the 2008 (and 2005, 2002,
1999, 1996) and future
National Electrical
Codes
, allowing you to solve Code-relat-
ed problems quickly and accurately. The
most common NEC tables are now at
your fingertips!
An important feature of the
ElectriCalc Pro
is that it is programmed to accept future
NEC changes, allowing you to convenient-
ly install future Code editions in a few sim-
ple steps.
Introducing the
ElectriCalc®Pro
Now NEC
®
-Updateable!
The
ElectriCalc Pro
instantly solves for
the following:
• Kirchhoff’s Law
• Ohm’s Law
• Volts, Amps, Volt-Amps, Watts, kVA,

Your
ElectriCalc Pro
is now updateable
for future National Electrical Code®
editions that are updated every three
(3) years. To upgrade your unit, follow
the instructions below:
1) Purchase the NEC Update from CI
(see pricing / details from CI’s Web
site: www.calculated.com or call
1-800-854-8075). This Update is in the
form of a chip that contains the new
Code.
2) Once you receive the NEC Update
chip, you need to install it in your
ElectriCalc Pro:
a) Turn calculator off.
b) As a precaution, remove the bat-
tery (located back of calculator, top
of unit) by sliding battery door out
with your thumbnail. Set aside.
c) Using a screwdriver, pop out the
square tab located in the middle sec-
tion on the back of your calculator.
d) Replace it with the new update tab
by inserting it into the slot.
e) Replace the battery door.
f) Turn calculator on. Your calculator
is now updated and ready to use.

S v —
Reciprocal (1/x)
Finds the reciprocal of a number (e.g.,
8 S v 0.125).
B—
Back Space Function
Used to delete entries one keystroke at
a time (unlike the ofunction, which
deletes the entire entry).
