INTRODUCTION
Your EC-252 Metric Conversion Calculator
conveniently combines an internal battery
and a solar panel, so you can use the cal-
culator anywhere. It also has a three-key
memory system so you can add, subtract,
and recall a calculated figure. In addition to
performing standard calculations, your cal-
culator has dual-function keys to perform
20 built-in metric conversion calculations.

CALCULATION ERRORS
ERROR appears in the upper left corner
when:
• A calculation result exceeds 8 digits to
the left of the decimal point. This is an
overflow error (see “Estimating Calcu-
lation Results”).
• A memory calculation result exceeds
8 digits to the left of the decimal point.
Memory contents remain unchanged.
• You try to divide by 0.
To clear an error, press ON/C.

Estimating Calculation Results
If you perform a calculation that results in
an overflow error, you can estimate the cor-
rect result (to 8 significant digits) by follow-
ing these steps.
1. Count the number of digits displayed
to the left of the decimal point.
2. Remove the decimal point.
3. Add as many zeros to the right of the
number as there were digits to the left
of the decimal point.
For example, the displayed value ERROR
1.0142064 is estimated to equal
101,420,640.
