If an '''' is displayed at the time of the error, must be used to clear the calculator. If an ''E'' with any numerals except zero is displayed, the error may be cleared with or and the calculation can still be continued.

Also, in rare cases, printing may stop midway and the indication "E" appear on the display. This is not a malfunction but is caused when the calculator is exposed to strong electromagnetic noise or static electricity from an external source. Should this occur, press the key and then repeat the calculation from the beginning.

Error conditions:

1. Entry of more than 12 digits or 11 decimals. This error can be cleared with or .
2. When the integer portion of an answer exceeds 12 digits.
3. When the integer portion of the contents of the memory or grand total memory exceeds12 digits.
   (Ex. 999999999999 1)
4. When any number is divided by zero. (Ex. 5 0 )

REPLACEMENT OF BATTERY FOR MEMORY PROTECTION

Time for battery replacement

Life of the memory protection battery is approximately 2,500 hours at 25°C(77°F) with the power plug not connected to the socket.

* When the memory protection battery is weak, the date/time setting is initialised (1/1/2005, 12:00:00 a.m.).

Verify the date/time setting in the date/clock display mode when connecting the power plug to the socket.

If the date/time setting is modified or incorrect, promptly replace the memory protection battery with new one.

(The life of the pre-installed battery may be shorter than expected because of the time the calculator spends during shipment.)

• Each time is pressed after a result is displayed, the result toggles between the sexagesimal and decimal formats.
• This printer calculator supports the following repertoire of time calculations: Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, constant calculation, memory calculation, grand total memory calculation, average calculation, and percent calculation.
• Calculation range: –999999 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds – 999999 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds
• Because time calculation results are rounded down to 13 decimal places after sexagesimal-to-decimal conversion, calculation errors may be introduced. Time calculations are displayed in sexagesimal with the fraction part of a second being rounded off.
• The sexagesimal arithmetic specifications of this printer calculator are as follows: Addition (Subtraction is similar to addition. ) (Sexagesimal) + (Sexagesimal) = (Sexagesimal) (Sexagesimal) + (Decimal) = (Sexagesimal) (Decimal) + (Sexagesimal) = (Sexagesimal)

Multiplication (Division is similar to multiplication.) (Sexagesimal) × (Sexagesimal) = (Decimal) (Sexagesimal) × (Decimal) = (Decimal) (Decimal) × (Sexagesimal) = (Decimal)
