Troubleshooting

Problem: No graph is coming up on my screen in the graph or dynamic mode.
Solution: Press SHIFT F3 then F1 then EXE. Draw the graph. Press SHIFT F2 then
choose F4 until you can see the graph. Alternatively, press SHIFT F2 then F5.
Problem: No graph is coming up on my screen in the statistics mode
Solution: Press SHIFT MENU then F1 for Auto then EXE.
Problem: I am entering a trigonometry operation and I'm getting the wrong answer.
Solution: Press SHIFT MENU and check the Angle units are correct. To change
them, highlight Angle then press the appropriate Function key then EXE.
Problem: My graph is drawing but there are no axes.
Solution: Press SHIFT MENU then go down to Axes then press F1 and EXE.
Problem: When I type my function in to graph it comes up Syn Error.
Solution: You have used the wrong syntax somewhere. It may be the wrong X key,
that is, you may have used the times key accidentally. It may also have been you
used the change of sign key (-) instead of the minus key.
Problem: I can't get rid of an error message.
Solution: Press AC
Problem: When I use G-Solv, it won't give me an answer.
Solution: If a solution isn't on showing on the screen, G-Solv will not find it. Press
SIFT F2 then F4 until the answer should be on the screen then use G-Solv. If it gives
one answer, press the right arrow key to move to the next answer.
Problem: When I try to find the statistics it comes up Dim Error.
Solution: First press AC then F2 and F6 (Set). Make sure 1Var Xlist is List 1 and
1Var Xlist is 1. Press EXE then F1 (1Var).
Problem: When I try to draw a graph it comes up Dim Error.
Solution: This means the calculator is looking for data where there isn't any. Check
how you set up the graphs again. Press AC to get rid of the Error message.
Problem: When I try to do something like List 1÷100 it comes up Ma Error.
Solution: It means you have not highlighted the name of the list you want to fill. Or
you may be trying to do something impossible mathematically like divide by zero.
Problem: When I'm in equation solver mode, it will only give me one answer.
Solution: In this mode, the calculator will only ever give one solution, the closest
value to the initial value. Try a different initial value for your unknown.
Problem: When I'm doing a compound interest question in the finance mode I am not
getting the correct answer.
Solution: Check that you have the correct sign in front of PV, PMT and FV.
Remember it could be positive or negative.
