WRAP-AROUND DECIMAL
The wrap·around decimal feature of your calculator lets you proceed when the
answer obtained
in
the
display or memory
exceeds
the capacity
of
the calculator
(10
8
or greater), except when the overflow condition
is
the result
of
computing
a scientific function. The calculator automatically retains the
8 most significant
digits,
places
the
decimal point 8 positions to the left
of
its true position,
and
~
lights the Overflow Indicator. You may proceed with the problem solution after
depressing the
[Q]
key
once
to
clear the overflow condition,
but
you must multi-
ply
the final problem answer by 10
8
(100,000,000) or move the decimal
point
8
places
to
the
right.
Any
numbers subsequently
added
or subtr8cted must
be
divided by
10
8
before entering.
If
two overfiows occur in the
S8me
problem,
the final
answer
must
be
multiplied by 10
8
X 10
8
;
10
16
and
so
on. This
same
feature applies to
the
numbers in memory.
