Using the Calculator in Accent
|
The calculator works just like many other calculators on the market. The screen you see here shows the regular calculator. There is also a scientific calculator for more advanced/technical problem-solving.
CLEAR clears the current entry.
ALL CLEAR clears an entire problem.
TIP: Always select the ALL CLEAR key before starting any new problem.
The OK Key
The OK key exits you from the calculator and returns you to the workspace or to an open Notebook. It also copies the answer to your last problem and puts it in the Text Display Area of your workspace or Notebook.
If you want to exit the Calculator without copying an answer:
Select the Cancel key at any time.
You can also select the ALL CLEAR key to clear a problem and then select the OK or Cancel keys.
TIP: If you do not want your device to speak the problems, turn the speech OFF.
An Addition Problem:
Open the CALCULATOR in the Toolbox.
Select the ALL CLEAR key.
Select 2+2=4.
Did you notice that each time you select a new key, the screen clears and the latest number is added to the screen? When you select the = key, the answer to the problem is visible in the display.
A Square Root Problem:
Select the ALL CLEAR key.
Select 4.
Select the SQUARE ROOT key.
The number 2 appears in the display area.
If you make a mistake: select the CLEAR or DELETE CHAR key to clear the last entry. Select the ALL CLEAR key to clear the entire problem and to start over.
