•Internal calculations are performed using a 15-digit mantissa, but results are
displayed using a 10-digit mantissa and 2-digit exponent.
•An error occurs whenever the unit is unable to solve the equations.
•Pressing 1 (REPT) returns to the initial display of the Cubic Equation Mode.

It may take considerable time for the calculation result of cubic equations to
appear on the display. Failure of a result to appear immediately does not
mean that the unit is not functioning properly.
