Calculator Memory (@M)

The calculator stores many different types of information in its memory. Each piece of information requires a certain amount of storage space.* You can monitor the amount of available memory by pressing @M.

The amount of memory available for storing information and working problems is about 30,740 bytes. (Units of memory space are called bytes.) The calculator gives you complete flexibility in how you use that available memory (such as for lists of numbers or equations). Use as much of the memory as you want for any task you want.

If you use nearly all of the calculator’s memory, you’ll encounter the

message  . To remedy this situation, you must erase some previously stored information. Refer to “Managing

Calculator Memory” on page 227 in appendix A.

The calculator also allows you to erase at once all the information stored inside it. This procedure is covered in “Erasing Continuous Memory” on page 229.

*Storing numbers in menus like TVM (non-Solver menus) does not use any of your memory space.
