Datexx DESK PILOT II DF-551 - Manual (Page 2)

Setting custom time zone (MY ZONE)
For those of us who are not close to one of the 16
major key cities listed on this unit, Datexx has
provided the MY ZONE key, which may be customized
to your local time and is not affected by automatic
Daylight Savings Time adjustments. If DST is desired,
this adjustment may be made manually. MY ZONE is
the only function not automatically adjusted. The
custom time zone can be set by the following steps:
1. Press and hold the MY ZONE key for 3 seconds. The
display “Minute” will flash.
2. Press UP or DOWN to adjust time. The time starts at
London time and you can adjust time by increments
of 30 minutes.
3. Press the MY ZONE key again to confirm the setting.
*Caution! DO NOT press SET to confirm MY ZONE
time setting. By doing so, it will change other cities’
time. Auto DST feature does not apply on MY ZONE.

Performing Calculations
Addition (+)
Example: 6 + 7 = 13. [6] + [7] = 13
Subtraction (–)
Example: 10 – 4 = 6. [1] [0] – [4] = 6
Multiplication (x)
Example: 7 x 5 = 35. [7] x [5] = 35
Percentages (%)
Example: Calculate 6% of 100. [1] [0] [0] x [6] % = 6
Example:
Add 6% tax to $20. [2] [0] + [6] % = $21.20
Example:
Calculate a 20% discount from $150. [1] [5] [0] – [2]
[0] % = 120
Constant Calculations
Press = to repeat last function.
Example:
Calculate 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 + 2 + 2 = 629
