turning the power on, a colon, a decimal point and the num er
1 in the memory location will light. Input desired time into
the display using the numeric keypad. The key marked E will

location that corresponds with the far left hand digit on the
display. There are nine (9) such memory locations for your
use. They can e selected y using the S (sequence) utton on
the keypad. Repeated pressing of the S utton will sequence
all nine memory locations while displaying the time that is
currently stored in each location.
