Note:

Executed expressions are stored in a temporary memory in the

executed order. If the temporary memory is full, the oldest data is

automatically deleted. Be aware that

e may not function on

these occasions.

A maximum of 160 bytes can be stored in the temporary memory.

The capacity may vary when there are division codes between

expressions.

When switching from equation edit mode to one-line edit mode in

the SETUP menu, all the numerical and graph equations stored in

the temporary memory are cleared and cannot be recalled.
