Morning John To set the time on a HP-01 it is easy as counting to three. Key in the time as hours:minutes:seconds, and press the triangle and the t-button. Immediately the time will be set. To set a PM-time (I think that is common in USA) press the P-buttem befor the triangel. The decimal point at the end of the time line inidicates the PM time format. If you prefere the 24hours format, Just press the triangle and the point. To set the date key in the date as MM/DD/YY. Use the / to separate the two digit entries. Then press the triangle and the D-button. Again to change the fromat from MM/DD/YY to DD/MM/YY use the triangle-point trick to change forth and back. Hope this helps for a start. Sincerely yours Stephan

Absolutely. Up and including the year 2099. The philosophy was that every day had a unique number (internaly) starting at 0 for Jan 1, 1900 and ending with 73048 for December 31, 2099 so you even can go ahead and calculate dates between January 1,1900 to December 31, 2099.
