Braille Sense U2 will keep the previous “wakeup call” settings, and close
the dialog box.
17.6 Calendar
You can activate the calendar by pressing “Enter” on “Calendar” in the
“Utilities” menu, or by pressing “l (dots 1-2-3).” The following options will
be available when you are using the calendar. “Solar calendar,” and
“Lunar calendar”.” In the calendar, you can check the three kinds of
information starting from the year 1841 to the year 2043. If you type in a
date that is not in the range and press “Enter,” you will get the message,
“Invalid date,” and return to where you where you were typing in the date.
17.6.1 Using the Calendar
The “Calendar” is composed of the “Solar calendar,” “Lunar calendar,”
and “Day of week.” In the “Lunar calendar,” a leap month will display the
month with “l (dots 1-2-3).” The calendar works according to a date unit.
The default is the date that the Braille Sense U2 was set to the last time
the date was set. You can check the date in two ways.
The following is an explanation of how to check the dates.
1. Moving items
You can switch between “Solar calendar,” “Lunar calendar,” and “Day
of week” by pressing “tab (“Space-4-5”)” or “shift-tab (“Space-1-2”)”.
2. Typing in date
In the calendar, you can type in a month, date, and year. For the year,
you should type in a 4-digit number, and for the month and date, you
should type in 2-digit numbers. It is possible to type these numbers in
using computer Braille and regular grade 1 Braille without using the
number sign. You can put “Space” or “/ (slash)” between the month,
date, and year. If you press “Enter” after typing in a date, you can
hear the date once, and go to the next item. For example, if you put
the date in the “Solar calendar,” you will be on the “Lunar calendar.”
