Frequently Asked Questions
Errors
The calculator will display an error message whenever an error occurs for any reason during a calculation.
There are two ways to exit an error message display: Pressing 
or 
to display the location of the error, or pressing 
to clear the message and calculation.
Displaying the Location of an Error
While an error message is displayed, press or to return to the calculation screen. The cursor will be positioned at the location where the error occurred, ready for input. Make the necessary corrections to the calculation and execute it again.
Example: When you input 14 ÷ 0 × 2 by mistake instead of 14 ÷ 10 × 2 (MthIO-MathO)
- 14
0
2
- (or )
- 1
Clearing the Error Message
While an error message is displayed, press to return to the calculation screen. Note that this also clears the calculation that contained the error.
Error Messages
Math ERROR
Cause:
The intermediate or final result of the calculation you are performing exceeds the allowable calculation range.
Your input exceeds the allowable input range (particularly when using functions).
The calculation you are performing contains an illegal mathematical operation (such as division by zero).
Action:
Check the input values, reduce the number of digits, and try again.
When using independent memory or a variable as the argument of a function, make sure that the memory or variable value is within the allowable range for the function.
Stack ERROR
Cause:
The calculation you are performing has caused the capacity of the numeric stack or the command stack to be exceeded.
Action:
Simplify the calculation expression so it does not exceed the capacity of the stack.
Try splitting the calculation into two or more parts.
Syntax ERROR
Cause:
There is a problem with the format of the calculation you are performing.
Action:
Make necessary corrections.
Argument ERROR
Cause:
There is a problem with the argument of the calculation you are performing.
Action:
Make necessary corrections.
Insufficient MEM Error
Cause:
An attempt to generate a numerical table in the TABLE Mode whose conditions cause it to exceed the maximum number of allowable rows. The maximum number of rows is 30 when "f(x)" is selected for the setup menu table setting and 20 when "f(x),g(x)" is selected.
Action:
Narrow the table calculation range by changing the Start, End, and Step values, and try again.
