Overflow and Underflow
If an attempted storage or recall arithmetic operation would result in
overflow in a data storage register, the value in the affected register will be
replaced with ±9.999999999×10
99
and the display will blink. To stop the
blinking (clear the overflow condition), press − or = or | " 9.
In case of underflow, the value in the register will be replaced with zero (no
display blinking). Overflow and underflow are discussed further on page
