8.2 Entering a Calculation.
A calculation is entered in the same order as it would be typed or spoken, without any spaces.
Numbers are entered using the letters A to J. (If you are using the Nemeth code, you can also use
dropped digits). You do not need to type a number sign, one is automatically entered for you as
soon as you start entering a number. The four basic operators are represented as follows:
For PLUS, press:
Nemeth: dots 3-4-6.
UK Braille: dots 2-3-5.
UEB: dots 2-3-5.
For MINUS, press dots 3-6.
For MULTIPLY, press:
Nemeth: dots 1-6.
UK Braille: dots 2-3-6.
UEB: dots 2-3-6.
For DIVIDE, press:
Nemeth: dots 3-4.
UK Braille: dots 2-5-6.
UEB: dots 3-4.
For a DECIMAL POINT, press
Nemeth: dots 4-6.
UK Braille: dot 2.
UEB: dots 2-5-6.
For example, to add the numbers 3 and 5, and then subtract 2, you type:
3 + 5 - 2
Press ENTER, for "Equals", and KeyPlus displays the answer, which in this case is: 6.
Nemeth users should note that the answer is displayed in literary Braille.
