- 'number' must be a hexadecimal number. Hexadecimal number uses digits 0 to 9 and characters A to F. The number can also be entered in text format (e.g "1F").
- The most significant bit represents the 'sign' of the number. Negative numbers are represented using 2's complement notation.
- A number preceding with '0' (e.g 013) should be written in text format ("013") to avoid confusion with octal numbers.
- Calci returns an #ERROR message if 'number' contains more than 10 characters (10 bits).

- If 'places' is not an integer, it is truncated.
- If 'places' are non-numeric, Calci returns an #ERROR message.
- If 'places' is negative, Calci ignores the places and displays the octal output.
