Possible error in on-calculator help.
I'm not sure if this is the proper place for this, but it's all I know right now.. so.. here we go.

The help content in...

[Main]->[Computer Algebra System (CAS)]-> [CAS Settings]->[Page 1]

...states the following:

*Use i: If checked, the calculator is in complex mode and complex solutions will be displayed when they exist. If not checked, the calculator is in real mode and only real solutions will be displayed.

Refer to this quote from parisse:

If you keep complex mode unchecked, it does not mean you will stay in the real domain. For example, sqrt(-1) will return i if complex is unchecked. Checking complex just says to the CAS that factor and associated functions should behave like if coefficients were complex even if they are all reals.
