ERRORS

There are several situations which will cause an overflow or an error condition. When this occurs, "E" will be displayed. The contents of the memory at the time of the error are retained.

If an "0•E" is displayed at the time of the error, "– – – – – – –" will be printed in red and must be used to clear the calculator.

Also, in rare cases, printing may stop midway and the indication "E" will appear on the display. This is not a malfunction but is caused when the calculator is exposed to strong electromagnetic noise or static electricity from an external source. Should this occur, press the key and then repeat the calculation from the beginning.

Error conditions:

1. When the integer portion of an answer exceeds 12 digits.
2. When the integer portion of the contents of the memory or grand total memory exceeds 12 digits. (Ex. 999999999999 1 )
3. When any number is divided by zero. (Ex. 5 0 )

REPLACEMENT OF BATTERY FOR MEMORY PROTECTION

Time for battery replacement

Life of the memory protection battery is approximately 2,500 hours at 25°C(77°F) with the power plug not connected to the socket.
