Time Set
The CX-3 uses a 24-hour clock and does not account
for daylight saving time. The internal clock lets you
set both local and UTC time and will continue running
even with the calculator turned off. The CX-3 contains
a single clock representing Coordinated Universal
Time (UTC), also known as Greenwich Mean Time
(GMT) or Zulu time. There are two steps to set the
internal clock. First, set the UTC or Local time and
Destination time. Next, set the Timezone for both
local and destination.
If the time is after noon, you will need to enter the
time based on a 24-hour clock; for example, 2 p.m.
would be 14:00:00. To set the clock to 1:30 p.m. in
the Pacic Time Zone:
1. Press button, scroll to Time Set and tap
enter.
2. Scroll to Time Zone: Local and tap enter.
3. Scroll up to select the Pacic Time Zone and tap
enter.
4. Scroll to Time Set: Local.
5. Input and tap enter.
6. You will now see UTC 21:30:00 and Local
13:30:00.
7. Scroll to Time Zone: Destination and tap enter to
set a destination Time Zone
The display time on the top status bar will show
the time as displayed under Time Set: Local. If you
would like the status bar to display UTC time, select
“GMT, Western European” under Set Time Zone:
Local. Note that a Z now appears after the display
time to signify that all times shown are UTC.
Default Units
Set the device to default to U.S. or Metric units.
Unit Changes
This allows for units to be changed for a given
calculation per screen or per line item. For example,
“Individually” will modify the unit for a single line in a
given calculation while “Per Screen” will change all
instances of that unit for a given calculation.
Favorite
This allows for creating a shortcut to a specic
function. This shortcut will be saved and accessed by
pressing the button.
