The Day Counter Mode lets you count the number of days from the Timekeeping
Mode’s current date to a specific target date.
There are five Day Counter records, each of which can be assigned up to 12 char-
acters of text and a target date.
When a target date is reached, the DAYS indicator flashes on the display in the
Timekeeping Mode. The DAYS indicator also flashes in the Day Counter Mode
when the screen for the target date is on the display.
The DAYS indicator flashes on the target date each year, regardless of the year
setting of the target date.
The initial default date for a Day Counter record is 2001/1/1, and the text area
contains All spaces. (All spaces for the text display a series of hyphens “ – – – – – ”.)

In the Day Counter Mode, press D to scroll through the Day Counter record screens.
The day count is a negative value whenever the target date comes before the cur-
rent date.
The display can show only five characters at a time. Longer text scrolls continu-
ously from right to left. The symbol “
” indicates that the character or digit to the
left is the last, and the character or digit to the right is the first.
