If you continue to use the calculator after the battery annunciator
comes on, power can eventually drop to a level at which the display
becomes
dim
and
stored data
may
be affected. If this happens, the
calculator requires fresh batteries before it will operate properly. If
stored data
has
not
been preserved due to extremely low power, the
calculator displays
MEMORY
CLEAR.
