MISSIONS TRIP PLANNING
The functions of the Speedmaster X-33 Marstimer can be useful in a host of situations in everyday life,
for the ofce, sport or travel.
Let's take the case of planning a trip from Zurich to New York for the Christmas holidays.
With take-off scheduled at 09:50 from Zurich, and landing at 12:35 in New York on 21 December, you
should program a wake-up time using an alarm, and the check-in time using a
function (to tell
you the time remaining until the check-in deadline).
Since the main deadline of the "mission" is take-off from Zurich, the
function will be programmed
to this time. The landing phase will be programmed according to New York time.
Setting the time zones:
: Zurich time = +1 hour ( page 22)
: New York time = -5 hours ( page 22)
