When you calculate an entry on the Home screen, depending upon space, the answer is displayed either directly to the right of the entry or on the right side of the next line. Special indicators and cursors may display on the screen to provide additional information concerning functions or results. Indicator Definition 2ND 2nd function. FIX Fixed-decimal setting.

Indicator Definition MathPrint™ cursor. Continue entering the current MathPrint™ element, or press an arrow key to exit the element. 2nd functions % Most keys can perform more than one function. The primary function is indicated on the key and the secondary function is displayed above it. Press % to activate the secondary function of a given key. Notice that 2ND appears as an indicator on the screen. To cancel it before entering data, press % again.
SCI expresses numbers with one digit to the left of the decimal and the appropriate power of 10, as in 1.2345678E5 (which is the same as 1.2345678×105). ENG displays results as a number from 1 to 999 times 10 to an integer power. The integer power is always a multiple of 3. Note: E is a shortcut key to enter a number in scientific notation format.

• P enters a simple fraction. Pressing P before or after a number can result in different behavior. Entering a number before pressing P makes that number the numerator. To enter fractions with operators or radicals, press P before you enter a number (in MathPrint™ mode only). • In MathPrint™ mode, press $ between the entry of the numerator and the denominator. • In Classic mode, press P between the entry of the numerator and the denominator. The fraction bar will appear thicker than the division bar.

Complex menu Description 1:± ± (polar angle character) Lets you paste the polar representation of a complex number (such as 5±p). 2 :polar angle angle( Returns the polar angle of a complex number. 3: magnitude abs( (or |þ| in MathPrint™ mode) Returns the magnitude (modulus) of a complex number. 4: 4 r±p Displays a complex result in polar form. Valid only at the end of an expression. Not valid if the result is real. 5: 4 a+bi Displays a complex result in rectangular form.

The following list includes some of the errors that you may encounter. To correct the error, note the error type and determine the cause of the error. If you cannot recognize the error, refer to the following list. Press - to clear the error message.
BREAK — You pressed the & key to stop evaluation of an expression. CHANGE MODE to DEC — Base n mode: This error is displayed if the mode is not DEC and you press ‰, Š, ‹, ‡, I, t, …, or –. COMPLEX — If you use a complex number incorrectly in an operation or in memory you will get the COMPLEX error. DATA TYPE — You entered a value or variable that is the wrong data type.
• For TAN: x = 90¡, -90¡, 270¡, -270¡, 450¡, etc., and equivalent for radian mode. • For SIN-1 or COS-1: |x| > 1. • For nCr or nPr: n or r are not integers | 0. • For x!: x is not an integer between 0 and 69. EQUATION LENGTH ERROR — An entry exceeds the digit limits (80 for stat entries or 47 for constant entries); for example, combining an entry with a constant that exceeds the limit. Exponent must be Integer — This error is returned if the exponent is not an integer.
• You press < on a blank equation or an equation with only numbers. Invalid Data Type — In an editor, you entered a type that is not allowed, such as a complex number, matrix, or vector, as an element in the stat list editor, matrix editor and vector editor. Invalid domain — The Numeric equation solver did not detect a sign change. INVALID FUNCTION — An invalid function is entered in the function definition in Function table.
STAT — You attempted to calculate 1-var or 2-var stats with no defined data points, or attempted to calculate 2-var stats when the data lists are not of equal length. SYNTAX — The command contains a syntax error: entering more than 23 pending operations or 8 pending values; or having misplaced functions, arguments, parentheses, or commas. If using P, try using W and the appropriate parentheses. TOL NOT MET — You requested a tolerance to which the algorithm cannot return an accurate result.
Battery information Battery precautions • Do not leave batteries within the reach of children. • Do not mix new and used batteries. Do not mix brands (or types within brands) of batteries. • Do not mix rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries. • Install batteries according to polarity (+ and -) diagrams. • Do not place non-rechargeable batteries in a battery recharger. • Properly dispose of used batteries immediately. • Do not incinerate or dismantle batteries.
Dispose of the dead battery immediately and in accordance with local regulations. Per CA Regulation 22 CCR 67384.4, the following applies to the button cell battery in this unit: Perchlorate Material - Special handling may apply. See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate In case of difficulty Review instructions to be certain calculations were performed properly. Check the battery to ensure that it is fresh and properly installed.
