N– Next Employee
Prepares the Time Card Tabulator II for
acceptance of new employee data.
e– Employee Hours Key
A multifunction key used to display
the following:
1) Accumulated “In” and “Out” hours
2) Total employee hours
3) Gross employee pay (based on
stored rate of pay).
4) Also used to directly enter the total
hours for a day.
π– Payroll Total Hours
Sums and displays the total hours
worked by all employees. This total
is cleared when the calculator is
turned off or reset.
R– Rate
Multiplies a numerical or time value by
the rate or temporarily overrides a
stored rate.
Note: When entering a math string, R
pressed after a unitless value will override
the previous rate. For example, if you enter
2 • 5 H x 1 0 R, 10 is used as
rate instead of stored value.
s R – Store Rate
Permanently stores a unitless value
as a rate. You may clear the value
by performing a “Clear All” (C x)
or replace it with another value.

4 — TimeCard Tabulator II
b– Automatic Break

automatically subtracted from the “In”
and “Out” register totals, or when a
value is entered by pressing the e
key. If entries are not defined as time
values, an error occurs.
®– Automatic Rounding
Permanently stores the rounding
value for the accumulated day hours.
Typical rounding values are 6 min-
utes (0.1 of an hour) and 15 minutes
(0.25 of an hour). The calculator can
be set to round the:
1) Actual clock “In” and “Out” times
2) Time span between the “In” and
“Out” times
3) Total day hours.

OPERATING BASICS
BASIC MATH
Your calculator uses standard chaining
logic, which simply means that the
calculations are made in the order
entered.
KEYSTROKE DISPLAY
3 + 2 = 5.
3 – 2 = 1.
3 x 2 = 6.
3 ÷ 2 = 1.5
Percent Calculations
The percent %key is used for finding a
given percentage of a number or for
working add-on, discount or division
percentage calculations.
KEYSTROKE DISPLAY
355x15% 53.25
250+65% 412.5
25–5% 23.75

Delta Percent
The function finds the percent
change between two values. The =
key must be pressed to complete the
calculation.
KEYSTROKE DISPLAY
10C%15= 50.
100C%25= -75.

Cumulative Memory (M+)
s 0 (M+) is a cumulative memory in
which values of the same convention
can be added. It has the following
special keystrokes (in addition to those
defined above):

Memory Functions
The TimeCard Tabulator II can store and
recall up to nine separate non-cumulative
Memory values. When a value is stored
in Memory, that value does not change
until it is revised or the calculator is reset.
Values can be stored in any format.

Time Conventions
When you are dealing with time, there
are actually two kinds of time values
that must be considered:
1. Points in Time: 9:22 AM, 5 PM
2. Time Periods: 37 Minutes,
45 Seconds
The time math rules are as follows:
Addition
Period + Period = Period
3 Hrs. + 22 Min. = 3 HR 22 MIN
Point + Period = Point
9 AM + 22 Min. = 9:22 AM
Point + Point = Error
Note: You cannot add two points in time as
the result would be meaningless.
Subtraction
Period – Period = Period
3 Hrs. – 22 Min. = 2 HR 38 MIN
Point – Period = Point
9 AM – 22 Min. = 8:38 AM
Point – Point = Period
9 AM – 8:30 AM = 30 MIN
Period – Point = Error
Note: When subtracting one point in time
from another, it’s best to enter the “later” time
first, then subtract the earlier time.
(Cont’d)

12 — TimeCard Tabulator II
Multiplication
Period x Period = Error
Point x Period = Error
Point x Point = Error
Period x Number = Period
9 Hrs. X 3 = 27 HR
Point x Number = Error
Division
Period ÷ Period = Number
9 Hrs. ÷ 9 Min. = 60 (9 min. segments)
Period ÷ Number = Period
9 Hrs. ÷ 60 = 9 MIN
Period ÷ Point = Error
Point ÷ Period = Error
Point ÷ Number = Error
Point ÷ Point = Error
USING THE TIMECARD TABULATOR II
Before You Continue . . .
Unless otherwise stated, the examples
in this manual are to be done with the
calculator set to its default values.
Press C x to set all values to their
default settings.
ENTERING TIME VALUES
Using TimeCard Tabulator II, you can
easily perform time math and payroll
functions. Time values are entered as
you say them, with the largest time unit
entered first. The examples below show
the different methods used to enter
time values.
