EC-364 (650-0833) Conversion Mode Faxback Doc. # 3526
Secret Sender is programmed to calculate the six currency conversions
shown below. You will have to enter the current rates for these
conversions though, since they change frequently. Once you have entered
the current rate, you can calculate currency conversions with the touch of
a key. You can also edit the built-in currency names.
Built-In Currency Conversions
Built-in-Rates
$ 1. = pound 0.5 $ 1. = Lit 1000.
$ 1. = DM 1.5 $ 1. = Pts 100.
$ 1. = FFr 5. $ 1. = Yen 100.
The built-in conversions have been assigned pre-programmed rates. If you
perform a conversion without changing the preset rate, the message,
"NOTICE! Change Preset Rate Before Using!" will appear on the display.
This is because the preset rates are unlikely to remain accurate for long,
and should not be relied upon to be correct. Press any key to clear the
message.
Enter the Conversion Mode from the main menu by highlighting the
Conversion Mode icon (SYMBOL). Then press EXE.
To set conversion rates:
1. Enter the Conversion Mode.
2. Use UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW to choose a conversion.
3. Press FUNCTION, then use UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW to high light
"Rate Set." Then press EXE.
4. Type: 1. Then press EXE.
5. Type in a new value for the conversion rate in U.S. dollars. For
example, the preset value for $1 is 1,000 Italian lire. Set a rate,
such as 1489. Then press EXE.
You may find that the stored conversion rate is acceptable. In that
case, simply type in no new amount in Step 5. Just press EXE. This
will leave the rate as it was.
To convert U.S. dollars into foreign currency:
1. Enter the Conversion Mode.
2. Use UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW to choose the conversion you need. For
example, choose U.S. dollars into French francs. The display will
show the stored value for this conversion; the preset value here is
$1 = FFr5.
3. Type in the amount in U.S. dollars that you wish to convert to foreign
currency. To continue our example, say you want to convert $98.50 to
French francs.
Type: 98.5. Then press EXE.
To convert foreign currency into U.S. dollars:
1. Enter the Conversion Mode.
2. Use UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW to choose the conversion you need.
Actually, the display only shows the inverse of the conversion you
need. For example, choose U.S. dollars into French francs, though you
may want to convert francs into dollars. The display will show the
stored value for the conversion; the preset value here is $1 = FFr5.
3. Press FUNCTION. Then use UP ARROW to highlight "Reverse." Then press
EXE.
4. Type in the amount in foreign currency that you wish to convert to
U.S. dollars. To continue our example, say you want to convert
FFr 98.50 to dollars. Type: 9 8 .5. Then press EXE.
Calculations Using Conversion Results
Let's say that a German friend has come to visit you, and she bought five
souvenirs, each for $20. She wants to know how much she has spent in
German marks. Here's how Secret Sender figures it out:
1. Enter the Conversion Mode.
2. Use UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW to choose U.S. dollars into German marks.
The display will show the stored value for this conversion; the preset
value here is $1 = DM 1.5. We'll use that value for our example.
3. Type in the number of dollars you need to convert. In this case,
type: 2 0. Press EXE.
4. Type: x 5 =
The result will be DM 150.

Changing a Currency
Let's say you would like to include a conversion between dollars and
Mexican pesos, and you have little use for a conversion between dollars
and German marks. You want to change the German mark conversion into one
for pesos.
Here's how to do it:
1. Enter the Conversion Mode.
2. Use UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW to display the currency pair that includes
a currency you'd like to change. In this example, display $/DM.
Don't press EXE.
3. Press FUNCTION. Use DOWN ARROW to highlight "Edit." Then press EXE.
4. The first currency that you can now change is the one to the left,
dollars. But we don't want to change that so press EXE without
entering anything.
5. Now the cursor has moved to allow you to change the other currency
name. This is the name you'd like to change, to accomplish our goal
of changing German marks into Mexican pesos. You can enter up to four
letters for each currency name. That's convenient for our example.
6. Type "MEX." Press FUNCTION. Use UP ARROW to highlight "Symbols."
Then press EXE. Use UP ARROW, DOWN ARROW, LEFT ARROW, and RIGHT ARROW
again to highlight "$." (The dollar sign is also the symbol used for
Mexican pesos.) Press EXE. Then press EXE again.
We've chosen to refer to Mexican pesos as "MEX $." We could also
simply have entered "Peso," with no symbol.
7. Now the conversion rate appears for editing. For our example, we want
to leave the first figure at $1, so press EXE without making any
changes.
8. The second currency value now can be edited. Instead of the DM rate,
type in the number of pesos per dollar; 3.1. Then press EXE.
Deleting Data
Use the procedures described here to delete Telephone Directory Schedule,
and Memo "Diary" data. Remember that you must access the Secret Memory
Area to delete data there.

the data.

"Delete." Press EXE.
3. Use UP ARROW to highlight "1 Data." Press EXE.
4. Use LEFT ARROW to highlight "Yes." Press EXE.
To abort the delete operation, highlight "No." and press EXE.
5. When the deletion is complete, one of the following will appear on the
screen:
a prompt for new data input
other data for whatever mode you are in
To delete all data in a specific mode:
