digits for each of these units of time. For
example, let’s say that you are reading this in the month of January.
Even though it’s the first month of the year, you may not specify the
month with a “1”. The HX-20 expects two digits, so you must enter
“01” for the month.
The hour (HH) is based on a 24-hour clock. Thus, midnight is 00,
noon is 12, and 9 PM is 21.
Let’s say that it is now nine minutes and thirty-five seconds after
two o’clock on the afternoon of January third, 1983. What numbers
will you enter to specify the date and time?
The date is 1/3/83
The time is 2:09:35 PM
So you should type:
= 010383
q
140935
010383140935
and press the key.
Press or at any time before pressing and you will
abort the initialization process.
Note that no spaces, slashes, or colons separate the numbers
representing month, day, year, hour, minute, and second. The
numbers just run together. So you must be very careful entering
them. If you make a mistake entering the date or time, press the
key or The screen will clear and you may start
over.
When you have typed in the date and time and pressed the
key, the HX-20 will set its calendar clock appropriately. Then
it will clear all programs and data from its memory. When it has
done so, it will display the menu again. Now the menu will look like
this:
1 MONITOR
2 BASIC
