o
key should be pressed after each of
the entries above to clear the display as this is
not a contiguous example.
Any units of measurement other than inch-
es must be entered as whole values (5
yards) or decimal values (5.5 meters), and
not in combination with feet and inches or
with themselves. For example, you cannot
enter 12 meters 6 centimeters 4 millimeters.
To convert a linear value on your display,
press the
Ç
key, then the key for the
linear dimension to which you want to con-
vert. For example,
Ç M
converts to
millimeters.
