Trying Out the Calculator. 

You might also like to try out the Calculator, which you can do without any extensive knowledge of 
the BrailleNote QT. From the Main Menu, go to the Scientific Calculator by pressing S. You hear: 
"KeyPlus. Zero." 

Just 

0, number sign followed by the letter J, is displayed on the Braille display. This means that the 

Calculator is ready. If someone has previously used the Calculator and the display is not zero, you 
can clear it by pressing CONTROL with I. 

Let's try calculating 2 + 3. The plus function is obtained by pressing the EQUALS key, you don't 
need to press SHIFT to obtain the plus function. To calculate the result, press ENTER. Your 
BrailleNote QT should display the answer 

"5". 

On the Braille display both the Nemeth Braille Code for Mathematics, the UK Braille Mathematics 
Notation and Unified English Braille (UEB) are supported.  

You can review the calculation by pressing the PREVIOUS and NEXT thumb keys together. The 

Braille display will show 

2 + 3 = 5, in either Nemeth or UK mathematics notation depending on the 

selected calculator language. Pressing the PREVIOUS and NEXT thumb keys again will return to 
just displaying the answer. If the speech is on, the speech will mirror the content on the Braille 
display. 

To complete the exercise, press MENU, to return to the Main Menu.
