Error Conditions - Texas Instruments TI-86 Manual Book

Errors 1 through 5 do not
occur during graphing. The
TI-86 allows for undefined
values on a graph.

Error Conditions

When the TI-86 detects an error, it displays an error message
Chapter 1 describes how to correct an error. This section describes possible causes for the
errors and examples. To find the proper arguments for a function or instruction, as well as
restrictions on those arguments, refer to Chapter 20: A to Z Function and Instruction Reference.
