Error Messages

The calculator will display an error message when a given

command is handled incorrectly, or when instructions cannot be

handled correctly such that the task cannot be processed further.

Various types of error messages are given to inform users the

types of situations to be remedied.

For example, performing the

following key strokes:

5 | E

will result in an error, and the

error message will be displayed.

In such a situation, you can go back to the expression to correct

its syntax by pressing

; or ', or you can erase the

entire line to start over by pressing

C.

For a list of various error codes and messages, refer to the

appendix.
