Page 1 for how to set date/time:

“RATE SET”: To set the date, time, and tax rate, set this switch at the “RATE SET” position.
Date:
• Enter in the order of month, day and year, then press to complete the entry.
• Use to separate month, day, and year.
• When is pressed, the number entered is evaluated and displayed as “date” if the
value is within the following range; “Error” is displayed otherwise, and the previously set
date is restored.
Month: 1 - 12; day: 1 - 31; Year: 2000 - 2099 (in 4 digits) or 00 - 99 (in 2 digits)
Time:
• Enter in the order of hour, minutes, then press to complete the entry.
(There is no entry available for the seconds value. The clock starts at zero second.)
• If the hour/minute digit is less than 10, it is not necessary to enter the first digit “0”.
• Use to separate hour and minute values.
• When is pressed, the number entered is evaluated and displayed as “time” if the
value is within the following range; “Error” is displayed otherwise, and the previously set
time is restored.
Hour: 0 - 23 (24-hour system for the hour entry), Minute: 0 - 59

Hello,
Here is the link to all supported educational calculators. Download the one closet to your yours. I looked under commercial, and consumer and no 520 listed.
