If the display can be turned on, but the calculator does not seem to be
operating properly, do the following diagnostic self–test.
1. Hold down the
key, then press

, at the same time.
2. Press any key eight times and watch the various patterns displayed. After
you've pressed the key eight times, the calculator displays the copyright
message

and then the message


.
3. Starting at the upper left corner (

each key in the top row. Then, moving left to right, press each key in the
second row, the third row, and so on, until you've pressed every key.
If you press the keys in the proper order and they are functioning
properly, the calculator displays

next keystroke displays a fail message (see step 4).

but got this message, repeat the self–test to verify the results. If the
