argument.
• Correct the argument.
Dimension
ERROR
• Illegal dimension used during matrix 
or list calculations.
• Check the matrix or list dimension.
Range ERROR
 Input of an improper V-Window 
value.
 V-Window range settings exceeded 
when a graph is redrawn.
 Input of an improper value on the 
range screen and use of that value 
for execution.
 The spreadsheet cell range was 
exceeded by paste, recall, or other 
cell operation.
 Change the V-Window value so it 
is within range.
 Redraw using the proper settings.
 Input a proper range value.
 Repeat the procedure taking 
care that the cell range is not 
exceeded.
Condition
ERROR
• Execution of a calculation or 
function before all conditions 
required for execution are met.
• Check the conditions and make 
any necessary corrections.
Non-Real
ERROR
• Calculation that produces a complex 
number when Real is specified for 
the Complex Mode setting on the 
Setup screen, even though the 
argument is a real number.
• Change the Complex Mode 
setting to something other than 
Real.
Complex 
Number In List
• List containing complex number 
used in a calculation or operation 
for which complex number data is 
invalid.
• Change all data in the list to real 
numbers.
Complex 
Number in 
Matrix
• Matrix containing complex number 
used in a calculation or operation 
for which complex number data is 
invalid.
• Change all data in the matrix to 
real numbers.
Complex 
Number in 
Data
• Data sent from a function of this 
calculator (matrix, etc.) includes 
complex number data, but the 
corresponding function of the 
receiving calculator does not 
support data that includes complex 
numbers. 
Example: Attempting to send a 
matrix containing a complex number 
in an element to CFX-9850G.
• Send data that does not include 
complex numbers.
Can’t Simplify • Fraction simplification was 
attempted using the Simp function 
(page 2-21), but simplification 
could not be performed using the 
specified divisor. 
Example: Specifying a divisor of 3 to 
simplify the fraction 4/8.
• Specify a different divisor or 
execute Simp without specifying 
any divisor.
