Auto-Range
If an “overflow” occurs due to an input or
calculation that use more digits than the
display’s standard seven-digit range, the
answer automatically displays in the next
larger unit (instead of showing “Error”). i.e.,
10,000,000 mm
is greater than the seven-
digit range; therefore,
10,000 m
is displayed
instead. This auto-ranging also applies to
other dimensional units such as Inches to
Feet, Feet to Yards, etc.
