Basic Calculator Information
Power On/Off
The ScheduleCalc is powered on by
pressing the [On/C] key and powered
off by pressing the [Off] key. If already
on, a single press of [On/C] clears the
last entry. A double press clears all
temporary values.
Automatic Shut-off
If left on more than eight minutes with-
out activity, the auto-save feature shuts
the calculator off. When this occurs, all
values stored in Memory or shown on
the display are cleared. An activated
timer/stopwatch disables the automatic
shut-off.
Full Reset/All Clear
Your calculator is programmed with a
special two-key sequence, [Conv] [x].
This key sequence clears all Memory
registers and resets the calculator to its
default state.
Operating Fundamentals
4—ScheduleCalc™

Display Accuracy
ScheduleCalc has a 10-digit internal
accuracy with a 5/4 rounding technique
for an accurate 8-digit display.
Battery Information
Your calculator is powered by a single
3 volt Lithium CR-2032 battery. This
should last upwards of 800 hours of
actual use (1 year plus for most people).
Should the display become dim or
erratic, replace the battery.
WARNING
Because the batteries contain hazardous
chemicals, please use caution when dispos-
ing of old batteries. Keep them away from
animals and young children.
Basic Math
ScheduleCalc uses standard “chaining
logic.” In other words, calculations are
processed in the order entered.
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.
355 [x] 15 [%] 53.25
250 [+] 6.5 [%] 266.25
25 [–] 5 [%] 23.75
100 [÷] 50 [%] 200
Delta Percent
[Conv] [ % ]
The Delta Percent function finds the
percent change between two values.
The [=] key must be pressed to com-
plete the calculation.
10 [Conv] [%] 15 [=] 50.
100 [Conv] [%] 25 [=] – 75.

Memory Functions
The ScheduleCalc allows you to store,
add, subtract, replace and recall up to 10
separate Memory values. Memory values
do not change unless revised or the
calculator is reset to its default state.
Values can be stored in any format.
Note: Memories 1–9 store a single value,
while Memory “0” maintains a cumulative
total. When adding to Memory “0,” only
values of the same convention (i.e., hour,
minute, second, day, week, month or year),
may be added. Otherwise, enter values but,
no format.
[Stor] [0] through [9]
Enters and stores a value in Memory
registers 0–9. Press [Stor], then the
number key representing the Memory
register in which you want the value
stored.
[Rcl] [0] through [9]
Recalls values stored in Memories 0–9.
[0] [Stor] [1] through [9]
Clears the value from the Memory reg-
ister coinciding with the number key
(1–9) pressed.
Owner’s Manual—7

[Conv] [+]
Clears Memory registers 0 through 9.
[Conv] [Stor] [0]
Subtracts the displayed value from
Memory “0.”
[Rcl] [Rcl]
Displays then clears Memory “0.”
[Conv] [Rcl]
Clears Memory “0” without changing
the display.

specific needs. Use the following keys
to do this:
[Prefs]
Press once to access preferences.
Repeated presses scroll through pref-
erence settings.
[+] and [–]
“Plus” scrolls forward through the set-
ting options; “Minus” scrolls backward.

Calendar Mode Settings
The [Mode] key is used to select the
Day Count method used when doing
date math calculations. Calendar Mode
setting options are discussed below:
Setting Options
CAL Act: Act
*
Uses the actual number of days in a
month and year (including leap year)
when calculating date math problems.
WORK Act: Act
Counts only the workdays in a month.
The “Monday–Sunday” preference set-
tings determine the number of work
days per week. This method takes into
consideration the hours per day and
any stored holidays.
CAL 30: 360
Defines the year as 12 months of equal
value: 30 days each.
CAL Act: 365
Based on 365 days in a year, this
method does not include the extra day
in a leap year.
Owner’s Manual—13

CAL Act: 360
This method counts a year as 360 days.
The monthly count is based on the
actual number of days in the month.
Changing the Mode Setting
1. Move through the options by
repeatedly pressing [Mode].
2. Display the option you want to set
then move to the next option or if
finished, press [On/C].
Note: Calendar Mode settings remain
active until changed or [Conv] [x] is used
to reset the calculator.
Time and Date Math
Hours per Day
[Day]
Used to enter or convert values to
Days. In Calender mode, one day is
equivalent to 24 hours. In Work mode,
the hours per day can be set by enter-
ing the value and pressing [Stor]
[Day]. Pressing [Rcl] [Day] displays
the Hour per Day setting (default is 8).
14—ScheduleCalc™

Hours per Week
[Week]
Used to enter or convert values to
Weeks. In Calender mode, one week is
equivalent to 40 hours. In Work mode,
the hours per week can be set by
entering the value and pressing [Stor]
[Week]. Pressing [Rcl] [Week]
displays the Hours per Week setting
(default is 40).
Note: Changing the Preference settings
“MON –SUN“ modifies the “Hours per Day”
and “Hours per Week” values.
Year
[//]
To view the year setting, press
[Rcl] [//]. To change, enter a new
value and press [Stor] [//].
Default is 2000.
Owner’s Manual—15

Time and Date Math Rules
There are basically two kinds of time
and date conventions considered:
1. Points in Time (a specific time or date):
9:22 AM, 5 PM
1/15/1997
2. Time Periods (a span of time):
37 Minutes, 45 Seconds
2 Weeks, 3 Days
Tme and date formats are Hours,
Minutes, Seconds, Years, Months,
Weeks, and Days. When entering Time
and Date values, the entry must comply
with the following rules:
Addition
Period + Period = Period
Point + Period = Point
Point + Point = Error
Subtraction
Period – Period = Period
Point – Period = Point
Point – Point = Period
Period – Point = Error
Note: When subtracting one point in time
from another, enter the later time first, then
the earlier time.
16—ScheduleCalc™

Multiplication
Period x Period = Error
Point x Period = Error
Point x Point = Error
Period x Number = Period
Point x Number = Error
Division
Period ÷ Period = Number
Period ÷ Number = Period
Period ÷ Point = Error
Point ÷ Period = Error
Point ÷ Number = Error
Point ÷ Point = Error
Owner’s Manual—17

Important Note!
Unless otherwise indicated, all sample prob-
lems in this section assume the ScheduleCalc
is in its default state. If not, use [Conv] [x]
to reset the calculator.
Time Values
If the “SECS”preference setting is “ON”,
the display shows a place holder (00)
for seconds even if the [Sec] key was
not used.
If set to “OFF”, you must press the [Sec]
key to display the seconds placeholder.
If entering points in time, it is not nec-
essary to use the [:] key. See Method 5
for an alternate method.
When entering time values, you may use
any of the following entry methods.
However, remember to always enter
hours first, then minutes, then seconds.
Note: In the following examples, the first
value shown is with the “
SECS ” setting
“
OFF .” The second value is with the “ SECS ”
setting “
ON .”

Date Values
When entering dates, the full year should
be entered to avoid mis-interpretation. If a
year is not entered, the calculator uses the
year setting (viewed by pressing [Rcl]
[//] ), which defaults to the year 2000.
If entering only the last two digits of a
year, digits 00–59 are interpreted as
2000–2059; digits 60–99 as 1960–1999.
Entering Date Values
