Blinking Display

The display blinks when any of several improper operations are attempted. Depressing any key stops the blinking without otherwise performing the key function. CLx is the recommended blink stopper. Figure 1-1 lists these improper operations.

Illegible Display

During execution of a stored program, the display continuously changes and is purposely illegible to indicate that the program is running When the program stops, the display is steady.

Multiple Decimal Point Display

The battery provides approximately 3 hours of continuous operation. By turning off the power when the calculator is not in immediate use, the battery power will be conserved. To conserve power without losing program or results, leave the calculator on, key in a   , and leave it there until ready to resume calculation.
All decimal points light in the display when 2 to 5 minutes of operation time remain in the battery pack. Even when all decimal points are turned on, the true decimal position is known because an entire digit position is allocated to the true decimal position.
Example:
   If a result develops that is too small to be expressed in the specified display, zero is displayed (with minus sign in case of a negative result).
