Displaying the Location of an Error

If an error message (like “Math ERROR” or “Syntax ERROR”)
appears when you press

, press

. This will display the

part of the calculation where the error occurred, with the cursor
positioned at the error location. You can then make necessary
corrections.

Example:

When you input 14

2 = by mistake instead of 14

2 =

Use the insert mode for the following operation.

LINE

14/0*2=

Press

This is causing the error.

You can also exit the error screen by pressing

, which clears the

calculation.

Inputting with Math Format

When inputting with Math format, you can input and display fractions
and some functions using the same format as they appear in your
textbook.

Important!

• Certain types of expressions can cause the height of a calculation

formula to be greater than one display line. The maximum allowable
height of a calculation formula is two display screens (31 dots

2).

Further input will become impossible if the height of the calculation
you are inputting exceeds the allowable limit.

• Nesting of functions and parentheses is allowed. Further input will

become impossible if you nest too many functions and/or
parentheses. If this happens, divide the calculation into multiple
parts and calculate each part separately.
