Timekeeping Mode

You may have noticed the HOME TIME/WORLD TIME key on My Magic Diary.  We'll
refer to it simply as the TIME key throughout this manual.  Home Time shows
you the current date and time where you live, while World Time displays the
current date and time in one of 30 time zones around the world.

The Timekeeping Mode also lets you specify any of three formats for the
date.

Entering the Timekeeping Mode

To enter the Timekeeping Mode, press TIME.  Whenever you press TIME, the
display switches between the Hour Time and World Time screens.

If you have highlighted a day in the Calendar Mode, when it appears on the
Home Time screen, it will be enclosed in << >>.

Before making any changes in any other time and date settings, be sure
your Home Time zone is set correctly.

Setting the Home Time Zone

The initial Home Time zone setting produced by the all-reset operation is
known around the world as Greenwich Mean Time or Universal Time
Coordinate.  It is the time zone that includes London, England.  If you
live in any other time zone, you'll probably want to change the Home Time
zone setting.

To change the Home Time zone:

1.  Press TIME until the display shows the Home Time.

2.  Press FUNCTION.  Then use DOWN ARROW to highlight "Zone Change."

    Press EXE.

    The display flashes the current setting for the Home Time zone.

3.  Use LEFT ARROW and RIGHT ARROW to choose another Home Time zone.  The
    unit will cycle through all possible Home Time zones in the sequence
    shown in the city code table.

4.  When the display shows the city code for the Home Time zone you want
    to select, press EXE.  The time zone you selected appears on the
    display.

Setting the Date and Time

To set the date and time:

1.  Press TIME until the display shows the Home Time.  Be sure you are not
    on World Time.

2.  Press Function.  Then use UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW to highlight
    "Time Set."

    Press EXE.

    The first hour digit is flashing, allowing you to change the hour
    setting.

3.  Type in the current time and date.  Let's say it is 10:30 AM, on
    August 9, 1994.  Type in:  1 0 3 0  0 8 0 9 1 9 9 4.

4.  Use LEFT ARROW or RIGHT ARROW to cause each detail of the time and
    date setting to flash, allowing you to change just that detail.

5.  If you are not using the 12-hour time format, be sure to specify AM
    or PM by pressing AM/PM.

6.  After properly setting all details of the time and date, press EXE.
    (Pressing EXE resets the seconds count to 00.)

To change the date format:

1.  Press TIME until the display shows Home Time.

2.  Press FUNCTION.  Then use UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW to highlight
    "Date Format."

    Press EXE.

3.  Use UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW to highlight either "Month/Day/Year,"
    "Day/Month/Year," or "Year/Month/Day."  These determine the order in
    which My Magic Diary will always show the date.  When you have chosen
    the setting you prefer, press EXE.

Setting the World Time Zone

The initial World Time zone setting produced by the all-reset operation is
U.S. Eastern Standard Time.  It is the time zone that includes New York
City.

To change the World Time zone:

1.  Be sure you have already set the Home Time.

2.  Press TIME until the display shows the World Time.

3.  Use LEFT ARROW or RIGHT ARROW to cycle among all of the possible city
    codes, denoting different World Time zones.  Zones cycle through the
    sequence shown in the city code table.

    The time setting for your World Time zone is automatically calculated,
    based on the Home Time setting.

Other Time and Date Functions

To switch between 12-hour timekeeping (using AM and PM) and 24 hour
timekeeping (using numbers from 13 to 23 for PM hours):

1.  Press TIME to display either Home Time or World Time.

2.  Press FUNCTION.  Then use UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW to highlight
    "12/24 Hours."

    Press EXE.

    wish to change to or from Daylight Saving Time.
