You can return to the menu without closing the calculator and thus losing all of the
calculations you have carried out. To do this, press [SPC+1 2 3 4 5 6]. The menu items are
then all preceded by
’–C–’
to remind you that the calculator is still active in the background.
If you also open a file for editing and then suspend this with the key combination [SPC+1 2
3 4 5 6], the menu items are preceded by
’CE–’
. For further details, please read Section
5.2.18.
Calculation examples:
To add 19% VAT to a net price of 500 €:
’500+19% = 595’
To calculate the net price from the price with VAT:
’595/1.19 = 500’
To calculate the VAT at 19% for a net price
of 500 €:
’500*19% = 95’
To calculate the actual price if you receive a discount of 5%:
’595-5% = 565.25’
It is also possible to divide a value by a percentage:
’20/5% = 400’
The following example shows the calculation accuracy of 15 digits:
’123456789/3.3 = 37411148.1818182’

(S)cheduler
The Scheduler allows you to access the Actilino's added capability of tracking both unique
and recurring appointments. The Actilino can remind you of your appointment ahead of time,
with the lead time specified by you, providing a brief description of the appointment. This
feature is very useful, for example, for storing the dates of your family and friends' birthdays
on your Actilino, which will then remind you reliably and in time.
The Scheduler provides the following functions:
•
Managing your schedule: enter, edit, delete and copy appointments.
•
Manage regularly recurring appointments.
•
Display all appointments as a list sorted by date and time, with the additional option
of highlighting certain appointments (for example, in order to delete several
appointments at once). The calendar week that contains the appointments is also
displayed.
•
Full text search of the appointment schedule.
•
Check for appointments that have passed upon power up of the Actilino.
•
Continuous monitoring of appointments and notification with the specified lead time.
When you open the Scheduler from the main menu, you have the option of either entering
a new appointment after pressing the [TRC] key (the Braille display shows "
New entry
") or
you can enter the command [SPC+4], moving the cursor downward. In this case, the Actilino
will display the next scheduled appointment. If the warning signal sounds to remind you of
an upcoming appointment, you can turn it off by entering [SPC+7 8] during the signal. The
following paragraphs explain the Scheduler's various functions and capabilities in detail.
