AUTO SHUT-OFF Your calculator will shut itself off after about 8-12 minutes of non-use. ACCURACY/ERRORS Accuracy/Display Capacity Your calculator has a twelve digit display. This is made up of eight digits (normal display) and four fractional digits. You may enter or calculate values up to 19,999,999.99.
Auto-Range If an “overflow” is created because of a calculation with small units that are out of the standard digit range of the display, the answer will be automatically expressed in the next larger units (instead of showing “oFlo”) – e.g., 20,000,000 mm is shown as 20,000 m.
