kError Messages

The calculator will display an error message when a result exceeds the calculation range, when you attempt an illegal input, or whenever any other similar problem occurs.

When an error message appears...

The following are general operations you can use when any error message appears.

Pressing d or e displays to the calculation expression editing screen you were using before the error message appeared, with the cursor located at the position of the error. For more information, see “Displaying the Location of an Error”.

Pressing Aclears the calculation expression you input before the error message appeared. You can then re-input and re-execute the calculation, if you want. Note that in this case, the original calculation will not be retained in calculation history memory.

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.

The calculation you are performing has caused the capacity of the matrix stack to be exceeded.

The calculation you are performing has caused the capacity of the vector 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.
