- The result field shows the actual conversion value based on the amount entered and units shown in the from and to fields.
- Use ◄ ► to select a source value from the various units in the from field, coloured inversely.
- The result field is refreshed on every input.
- Move to the to field with ▼.
- The unit in this field is now shown in inverse colouring.
- Use ◄ ► to select between different units for the conversion value.

- The right display key Unit2+: enables the to field and scrolls to the next conversion unit.
- The left display key Unit-: this key scrolls back to the previous unit from the currently active unit field (from or to).
