USING THE DAILY ALARM
You can set an alarm to sound at a set time of day. The alarm sounds for
20 seconds. To silence the alarm sooner, press any key.
Once you enter the daily alarm time, you can turn the alarm on so that it
sounds at the set time, or you can turn it off so that it does not sound.
An indicator appears on the display above ALARM if the daily alarm is
turned on.
Notes: If the daily alarm is turned on, it sounds at the set time even if
the EC-336 is off.
Because pressing any key turns off the alarm, the alarm might not
sound if you are entering information at the alarm time.
SETTING THE DAILY ALARM
To set the daily alarm, do the following:
1. Press (TIME). The current date and time appear.
2. Press (TIME) again. ALARM and the current alarm time appear.
3. Press (SET).
4. Enter the alarm time.
5. When the desired alarm time is displayed, press (SET) to store the
alarm time.
Note: If the information you enter is invalid (for example, you enter 25
for the hour), the display returns to the previous alarm time
setting, and the cursor returns to the first hour digit.
TURNING THE DAILY ALARM ON OR OFF
Note: Turning the daily alarm on or off does not affect the schedule
alarms.
To turn the daily alarm on or off, do the following:
1. Press (TIME) twice so that ALARM and the current daily alarm time
appear.
2. Press and hold (music symbol) for about two seconds. The ALARM
indicator appears or disappears.
USING THE DIRECTORY/MEMO FILE
You can enter and easily recall important phone numbers, memos, or other
information. Each record in the directory/memo file has two parts. In
the first part, you enter text, such as a person's or company's name for a
directory listing or any important information you want to store. In the
second part of each record, you store numeric information, such as a phone
number.
The first part of each record can hold up to 100 characters. The second
part of each record holds up to 64 characters. This includes spaces.
ENTERING A DIRECTORY/MEMO RECORD
Complete the following steps to enter each record in the directory/memo
file:
1. Press (STORE). ENTR MESSAGE and the amount of available storage
appear.
2. Enter the person's or company's name or the information you want to
store.
Press (SPACE) to enter a space. Press (ERASE) to erase the last
character entered.
3. Press (STORE). ENTER TEL NO appears.
4. Enter the telephone number or any numeric information you want to
store. If you do not need to enter information in this part of the
record, go to Step 5.
Press (SPACE) to enter a space. Press (-) to enter a dash. Press
(ERASE) to erase the last character entered.
Notes: If you leave this part of the record blank, you cannot add
information to it later. If you plan to enter the phone number
later, enter a dummy phone number using as many characters as
necessary. For example, for a long-distance number, enter 000-000
0000.
For international long-distance phone numbers, press (.) to enter
the country code symbol (=), and press (=) to enter the city code
symbol (three horizontal lines).
5. Press (STORE). The display shows WAIT and then the record you
entered.
Notes: FULL appears on the display if no storage space is available.
Delete outdated directory/memo records or schedule alarms to free
additional storage space. See "Deleting a Directory/Memo Record"
or "Deleting a Schedule Alarm", below.
If you cannot see the entire record, press (SCR) to scroll to the
left one character at a time. Press and hold (SCR) to scroll
continuous; release (SCR) to stop scrolling.
To change the record, see "Editing a Directory/Memo Record" below.
RECALLING A DIRECTORY/MEMO RECORD
The directory/memo records are stored in alphabetical order. To recall a
directory/memo record, do the following:
1. Press (RECALL). ENTR INITIAL appears.
2. Enter the first few characters of the record. Then, press (RECALL)
again. The EC-336 displays the first matching record.

If so, press (SCR) to scroll one character to the left. Press and
hold (SCR) to scroll continuously; release (SCR) to stop scrolling.
EDITING A DIRECTORY/MEMO RECORD
Use the following steps to edit a directory/memo record.
Note: If you did not enter information in the second part of a record
when you created it, you cannot add that information. Also, you
cannot enter more characters in either part of a record than you
originally entered. for example, if you originally entered a seven
digit phone number, you cannot edit the record to include the area
code. To change a record in either of these ways, delete the
record and re-enter it.
1. Recall the record you want to edit. See "Recalling a Directory/Memo
Record" above.
2. Press (EDIT). The cursor appears below the first character of the
record.

At the set time, the alarm sounds for 20 seconds and the corresponding
message appears. To silence the alarm sooner, press any key.
Notes: If the EC-336 is off, it automatically turns on at the schedule
alarm time.
Because pressing any key turns off the alarm, the alarm might not
sound and the alarm message might not appear if you are entering
information at a schedule alarm time. Also, if the alarm message
displays while you are entering information, the information you
entered might not be stored.
ENTERING A SCHEDULE ALARM

USING THE TIMER/STOPWATCH
You can use the timer to count down so that an alarm sounds at the end of
a set time. You can also use it to count up like a stopwatch, which lets
you measure the length of an event. The timer can count up or down for up
to 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds.
Notes: The EC-336 does not automatically turn off when the timer is
running. When the timer counts down to 00-00 00, it begins
counting down again from 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds.
When the timer counts up to 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds,
it begins counting up again from 00-00 00. To stop the timer,
press (STOP) or (TIMER).
You cannot run the timer while using any other feature, because
pressing (TIME), (TIMER), (ALARM), (STORE), or (RECALL) stops the
timer and resets it to 00-00 00.
Follow these steps to use the count-down timer:
1. Press (TIMER). TIMER and 00-00 00 appear.
2. Press (SET). The cursor appears beneath the hour's first digit.
3. Enter the number of hours and minutes you want the timer to run before
