Calculating percentages

The following examples demonstrate the princi- ples for calculating percentages with Calculator:

How much is 20% of 1000?

1000 * 20% = 200

What percent of 50 is 10?

10 / 50% = 20

What would be a 22% markup of 500?

500 + 22% = 610

What would be a 17.5% discount of 500?

500 - 17.5% = 412.5 How much is 20%?

20% = 0.2

Clock

The Clock shows the time and date in your home location, as well as in other locations through- out the world. The Clock also includes an alarm clock.

The “Alarm active” symbol and time of the alarm are shown only if an alarm is active.

Alarm clock

The Alarm clock is activated with the Alarm clock command in the Clock main view. The alarms will occur according to the home location time (note this when in a different time zone, e.g. when roaming).

An alarm can be set to occur within the next 24 hours. Alarms that occur later than this are set in the Calendar application.

When the alarm sounds, it can be turned off by pressing any phone interface or communicator interface key. If the alarm is not turned off or it is turned off by pressing other than the OK but-

ton on the Communicator interface, the alarm will sound again (the alarm interval is set in the clock settings) for five times or until you press the OK button.

Note: If your communicator is locked when the alarm goes off, the first key press turns the alarm off, but the alarm will go off again until you unlock the communicator and press the OK button on the commu- nicator interface.

When the alarm sounds, it can be turned off by pressing any phone interface or communicator interface key.

To set an alarm:

Press + or - to adjust the time shown in the alarm clock display. Each press changes the time by one minute, but if you hold the but- ton down a while longer, the time will start to change in steps of 15 minutes.

Press OK to accept the set alarm.
