Section 6: Functions90
Adding and Subtracting Time and Angles
To add or subtract decimal hours, merely key in the numbers from the decimal hours and press  +  or  –  . To add hours, minutes, seconds, use the HMS+ (add hours, minutes, seconds) or HMS– (subtract hours, minutes, seconds) function. Both of these functions are executed using XEQ or by assigning them to a key for execution in USER mode.
Likewise, angles specified in degrees, minutes, seconds are added and subtracted using the HMS+ and HMS– functions.
Assign HMS+ and HMS– to the LOG and 10x keys, respectively, for execution in USER mode.
