Error Conditions

When the TI-84 Plus detects an error, it returns an error message as a menu title, such
as

ERR:SYNTAX

or

ERR:DOMAIN

. This table contains each error type, possible causes,

and suggestions for correction. The error types listed in this table are each preceded by

ERR:

on your graphing calculator display. For example, you will see

ERR:ARCHIVED

as a

menu title when your graphing calculator detects an

ARCHIVED

error type.

Error Type

Possible Causes and Suggested Remedies

ARCHIVED

You have attempted to use, edit, or delete an archived
variable. For example, the expression dim(L1) produces
an error if L1 is archived.

ARCHIVE FULL

You have attempted to archive a variable and there is
not enough space in archive to receive it.

ARGUMENT

A function or instruction does not have the correct
number of arguments. See Appendix A for function and
instruction syntax.
Appendix A displays the arguments and punctuation
needed to execute the function or instruction. For
example, stdDev(list[,freqlist]) is a function of the TI-84
Plus. The arguments are shown in italics. The
arguments in brackets are optional and you need not
type them. You must also be sure to separate multiple
arguments with a comma (,). For example,
stdDev(list[,freqlist]) might be entered as stdDev(L1) or
stdDev(L1,L2) since the frequency list or freqlist is
optional.

BAD ADDRESS

You have attempted to send or receive an application
and an error (e.g. electrical interference) has occurred
in the transmission.
