Condition ERROR
Casio Casio Calculator
Severity: MinorWhat Does This Error Mean?
Condition ERROR means the calculation cannot be performed in the current mode or with the current settings. You may be trying to use a function that requires a specific mode (STAT, Complex, etc.). Switch to the correct mode.
Affected Models
- Casio fx-991EX
- Casio fx-991ES Plus
- Casio fx-CG50
Common Causes
- Using a statistics function outside STAT mode
- Using complex numbers in Real mode
- Using a function not available in the current calculation mode
- Attempting base-N operations in wrong mode
How to Fix It
-
Switch to the correct mode for your calculation.
Press MENU (or MODE) and select the appropriate mode: Complex, Statistics, Base-N, Equation, etc.
-
For complex numbers: switch to Complex mode.
MENU > Complex (or a+bi mode). Real mode does not allow complex number operations.
-
For statistics: switch to STAT mode first.
MENU > Statistics. Enter data before using stat functions.
