Errors –
When an incorrect entry is made, or
the answer is beyond the range of the calcu-
lator, it will display the word “
ERROR
.” To
clear an error condition you must press the
o
button once. At this point you must
determine what caused the error and re-key
the problem.

Auto-Range –
If an “overflow” is created
because of a calculation with small units that
are out of the standard digit range of the
display, the answer will be automatically
expressed in the next larger units (instead of
showing “
ERROR
”) – e.g., 20,000,000 mm is
shown as 20,000 m. Also applies to Inches,
Feet and Yards.
Note: If Exponential Notation is activated through
the Preference Setting, the value will be shown
in scientific notation (e.g., 20 million mm –
2.00000
07
mm).
Auto Shut-Off
Your calculator will shut itself off after
about 8-12 minutes of non-use.
