Kitchen timer on 17B/17BII/17BII+/19B/19BII/27S - y.miyata - 03-04-2010 Does anyone know a way to set an appointment time from the Solver in 17BII ? These calculators have appointment alarm function, thus can be used as a kitchen timer. If you wish to count 8 min for boiling spaghetti (or whatever you want to do), 1. You get the current time in the calculator. 2. Add 8 min to the current time to get the appointment time. 3. Set the appointment time for an alarm.
1. Select MAIN -> TIME menu. 2. Add 8 min to the current time in your brain to get the appointment time. 3. Select MAIN -> TIME -> APPT -> APTx (x=1 to 9), key-in the appointment time calculated by you to TIME
1. Keep a gTIMERh equation in Solver TIMER: HMS(HRS(MIN/100)+HRS(CTIME))=ALARM 2. MAIN -> SOLVE -> select TIMER equation -> CALC, input 8 to MIN, calculate ALARM 3. Remaining the ALARM value in the x register (calculator line), set an appointment alarm by MAIN -> TIME -> APPT -> APTx (x=1 to 9) -> TIME
