1 Unit Conversions Menu ( UNITS ) The RLM-19BII has a powerful Unit Conversions menu to quickly convert a unit value into all the available units within a category. The UNITS menu starts showing all the categories of available units; Area, Energy, Force, Length, Mass, Power, Pressure, Speed, Temperature and Volume; select a category and the units within it will be shown in a conversion menu. For example, touching (Energy) category gives the following units menu:

2 Units arithmetics can be performed using or functions (see the example below). Example: Unit Conversion and Arithmetics Add feet plus 5.75 inches plus 2 meters plus 25 centimeters and minus 0.1 chains, what is the total length expressed in yards?. Solution: First select the length category touching follow the next sequence: button, then, Keystrokes Description Type and touch the ft. ft = Add 5.75 inches to the conversion. 2 Add 2 meters to the conversion Add 25 centimeters to the conversion. Subtract 0.1 chains from the conversion. Recalls and display the total conversion value in yards. yd = 4.21

3 Default Units Database The Unit Conversion tool comes with 205 factory defined units grouped in 10 categories. All of them are shown in the following tables.
