The home city serves as a point of reference for your other city selections. 
The information displayed for all the other cities is based on the day and 
time in your home city. When you use CityTime for the first time (or 
when you travel or move to another city), make sure you set your home 
city location. Setting your home city location ensures that CityTime 
displays accurate information for the other cities you select.
To set your home city:
1.
Press Option   and then press Blazer  . 
Ti p :  You can also access CityTime by tapping the CityTime icon   in the Applications Launcher.

Calculator
Calculator includes two operating modes: Basic and Advanced. In Basic 
mode you can perform simple mathematical calculations. In Advanced 
mode you can access scientific functions and perform sophisticated math 
calculations. This section explains how to select the operating mode and 
use the buttons and menu options available in each mode.
Selecting the Calculator mode
The Toggle Mode command enables you to choose whether you want to 
work in Basic Calculator mode or Advanced Calculator mode. You can 
change modes at any time.
To select the Calculator mode:
1.
Press Option   and then press Memo Pad  . 
Ti p :  You can also access Calculator by tapping the Calculator icon   in the Applications Launcher.
2.Press Menu  .
3.Under Options, select Toggle Mode (/M).
Ti p :  You can also toggle between Basic and Advanced mode by holding Option   and repeatedly press Memo Pad  . 
Using the Basic Calculator buttons
The Basic Calculator includes the following buttons.
Clears the last number you entered. Use this button if you make a mistake 
while entering a number in the middle of a calculation. This button enables 
you to re-enter the number without starting the calculation over.
Clears the entire calculation and enables you to begin a fresh calculation.
Toggles the current number between a negative and positive value. If you want 
to enter a negative number, enter the number first and then press the +/- 
button.

Displaying Recent Calculations
The Basic Calculator’s Recent Calculations command enables you to 
review the last series of calculations and is particularly useful for 
confirming a series of “chain” calculations.
To display recent calculations:
1.
Press Menu  .
2.Under Options, select Recent Calculations (/I).
3.After you finish reviewing the calculations, hold Option   and press 
Return   to finish.
Using the Advanced Calculator mode
The Advanced Calculator screen consists of three regions. Each region 
performs a different function to help you perform a variety of 
calculations.
Places the current number in memory. Each new number you enter with the 
M+ button is added to the total already stored in memory. You can add either 
a calculated value or a number you enter by pressing the number buttons. 
Pressing this button has no effect on the current calculation (or series of 
calculations); it merely places the value into memory until it is recalled.
Recalls the stored value from memory and inserts it in the current calculation.
Clears any value that is stored in the Calculator memory.

Finance buttons
Finance buttons enable you to find an unknown variable value based on 
a group of known variable values. For example, to calculate the monthly 
payment for a 30-year home loan of $100,000 with an annual interest 
rate of 8%, you would enter the following variables:
©Payments/year = 12
©N = 360 (30 years x 12 months)
©APR = 8
©PV = 100,000
©FV = 0
Using these variables, the answer would be -733.76 per month.
To solve this example:
1.
Enter a value and then tap the corresponding variable button. 
Repeat this process until you’ve entered the following four variables: 
nN = 360 (30 years x 12 months)
nAPR = 8
nPV = 100,000
nFV = 0
Calculates the hyperbolic tangent of the current number.
Calculates the arc (inverse) sine of the current number.
Calculates the arc (inverse) cosine of the current number.
Calculates the arc (inverse) tangent of the current number.
Calculates the arc (inverse) hyperbolic sine of the current number.
Calculates the arc (inverse) hyperbolic cosine of the current number.
Calculates the arc (inverse) hyperbolic tangent of the current number.
