Time Recorder
The Time Recorder Mode lets you store up to 50 time entries (hour, minutes, seconds)
with the touch of a button. One way you can use the Time Recorder Mode is to record
the start time and the end time of a particular event.

then it is assigned a record number.

Storing a new time record when there are already 50
records stored in memory automatically deletes record

stores the new record as
T50
.

The Time Recorder Mode always displays times using
24-hour format, regardless of the 12-hour/24-hour
format setting in the Timekeeping Mode.
