Converter

Figure 11-4 This application allows you to make conversions between different units of measure, which include: length, area, volume, mass, velocity, temperature, power, energy, and currency. The converter main view shows two identical lists containing the units to be converted. Below them on the left is the input field, and on the right the result field. The frame of the currently active list is darkened and the cursor is in the input field. To make a conversion: 1 Press Conversion type to open the list of units of measure. 2 Select one of the conversion types by scrolling the list and press OK. 3 When the main view returns, scroll the selection frame in the original units list (on the left) to the unit from which you want to convert. Change between lists by pressing Change list. 4 Scroll the selection frame in the converted units list (on the right) to the units to which you want to convert. 5 Enter the amount to be converted. Any amount you enter will automatically appear in the input field. The result will appear in the result field.

Currency converter
If you select currency as the conversion type, the command Rates will appear. As there are no preset exchange rates in the communicator, you will have to set the base currency and the exchange rates before you can use the currency converter. Within the Rates view, Edit unit allows you to change the name of the currency. To use the currency converter: 1 In the Currency conversion main view, press Rates, then Base currency. 2 Scroll to the currency you would like to set as the base currency and press OK. 3 The screen returns to the list of available currency units. Enter the exchange rates compared to the base currency. Press Close to return to the Currency conversion main view. 4 Select the currency from which you want to convert in the list on the left, and the currency to which you want to convert in the list on the right. 5 Enter the quantity you would like to convert. The amount is displayed in the result field. Note: Changing the base currency will clear all set exchange rates.
