through the "Check Today's SCHEDULE" option as well as the alarms that
can be associated with appointments in the "Schedule Manager".
As date and time entry is associated with several programs on the Braille
Sense U2 QWERTY, such as the "Wake up Alarm", the "time And Date"
option in the Utilities Menu, and of course the "Schedule Manager", The
Braille Sense U2 QWERTY provides you with a consistent interface for
entering time and date information in these dialog boxes. Before we start
talking about using the "Schedule Manager" we will explain how to enter the
date and time.
When you are asked to enter a date and time, you can either type in the date
and time, or select it using shortcut keys, outlined at the end of this section.
When you type numbers in date/time, you can use either computer Braille
(without a number sign) or regular grade 1 Braille (with or without a number
sign). When entering time, use "hh mm" format, two digits for the hour, and
two digits for the minute separated by a colon.. For example, use "10 05" to
enter 5 minutes past 10. You can enter a date in "mm dd yyyy" format, two
digits for the month, two digits for the day, and four digits for the year, as in
"09 01 2004", with slashes separating the day, month, and year.
You may also select the various components of your date and time using
navigation keys:
