Using the Calc Shortcut

Calc Shortcut to perform basic mathematical calcula-tions.

When using Calc, follow these guidelines:

  • Numbers can contain up to 12 characters, including a decimal point.

  • Operators can include +, -, ×, *, /, and ÷.

  • You can double-tap instead of writing the equals sign. For example, 52 - 14 followed by a double-tap is like writing =.
    Note:

    If the length of the math problem exceeds the display size, the beginning of the problem scrolls off the left of the display as new characters are added to the right.

  1. Double-tap the center of a Nav Plus. A double-tap is two taps in quick succes-sion.
    Your smartpen shows the Shortcut indicator (*) in the Main Menu. The smartpen is waiting for you to write a Shortcut.
  2. Within three (3) seconds, write the word “calc.”
    Using its predictive text feature, your smartpen shows the first command that matches your written input In this case, calc is displayed as soon as you write a “c”. As soon as you see the command you want on the display, you can stop writing.
  3. Tap right on the Nav Plus, or double-tap on any Livescribe Dot paper.
    Your smartpen prompts you to write a problem.
  4. Write a basic math problem, such as 51 x 3 =
    Your smartpen shows the result.

When you create a Shortcut, it becomes an active button that you can tap to repeat the application or command. The same is true for Launch Line Shortcuts you create.
