1. Introduction
PLATON, our scientific calculator with integrated speech output, not only
provides the standard arithmetic functions, but also combines numerous
scientific and other functions in one small and handy device!
2. DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE
The case is long and flat with a shape similar to a remote control. On the
surface are various keys, as well as the noticeable, flat display. Put the
device in front of you so that the end with the display is furtherest away from
you.
Upper Side: All the keys can be found on the upper side. They are
subdivided into 2 groups. The first group (nearest to you) consists of 4 rows,
each including 4 small, square keys. The second group consists of 3 rows,
each including 3 bigger, rectangular keys.
Left Side: On the left side of the device, you can find the socket for an
optional power supply (not included).
Right Side: On the right side of the device, there are two outlets. The one
farther away is a service outlet for our technicians. The one nearer to you is
an earphone socket (earphones are also optional and not included).
Bottom Side: On the bottom side of the device, you will find four little rubber
feet, the loudspeaker grill and the battery compartment.
3. POWER SUPPLY
Batteries: PLATON operates with 2 x 1.5V AAA batteries. The battery
compartment is situated on the bottom side of the device. To insert the
batteries, turn over the device with the display end still furtherest away from
you. Right between the two upper rubber feet, you can feel a little notch. This
is where you can open the battery compartment. Please note, that the lid is
not completely removable! Put two 1.5V AAA batteries in the compartment
with the flat (negative) end of each battery contacting the coil. Close the lid
until it locks in place.
ATTENTION: You must not start to work with PLATON unless
you have read and understood this manual! Store this manual for
later references and hand it on together with the PLATON if
necessary.

Power Supply: Platon can also be operated with a power supply unit. The
power supply unit is not included in the delivery and has to be ordered
separately! The socket for the power supply unit is located on the left side of
the device.
4. KEYBOARD LAYOUT
The keyboard is subdivided into 2 groups: the lower group consists of 4 rows,
each including 4 small, square keys. The upper group consists of 3 rows,
each including 3 bigger, rectangular keys. Each key of the upper group
operates two functions. In the following, we will describe each row top down
The button in row 1 column 1 has a shift function as known from a PC. A
short press activates the second level (layer) of functions connected to the
buttons and pressing long activates the third level.

same time till you hear a beep (lowest row, left and right buttons).
4.6 Volume
In order to increase the volume please press menue and square root at the
same time several times (second row middle and right). In order to decrease
the volume please press square and menue at the same time (second row
left and middle). The step of volume is announced.
Attention: there is a step with volume 0 which means Platon is silent!
5. Calculations
With Platon you can execute all basic arithmetic operations, percent
calculations, extract roots and square, and you have trigonometric functions,
logarithms (natural and common), and hyperbolic functions.
The way of entering data is orientated in lines which means that you enter the
whole calculation first, than press enter and the whole line is calculated. The
common laws of arithmetic are followed with it (multiplications before
additions). For more complicated calculations you can use parenthesises.
9
The whole process of entering data and the result is announced. If you want
to repeat the result, just press the equals button again and again. If you had
an error by entering on digit, you can delete the last data by pressing the
delete button (1. row, right button) long.
Numbers can be shown in three ways:
* Decimal floating point:
This is the default value. Numbers are shown as decimal numbers. If the
space of the display is over or under floated, Platon changes automatically to
exponent of 10 mode.
* Scientific:
Independent from the size of the number there is always an exponent
shown.
* Technical:
As in the scientific mode there is always an exponent shown. This
exponent can always be divided by three.
In Addition you can diminish the number of decimal places in all three modes.
The display rounds the number to the shown decimal places.
5.1 Basic Arithmetic Operations
Addition (plus), subtraction (minus), multiplication (times), and division
(divided by) count to the basic arithmetic operations. In order to execute one
of these operations please enter a number, then chose an operator (the right
button of rows 4 to 7), then enter another number and finally enter the equals
button (row 7, second button from the right)
5.2 Extended Arithmetic Operations
Automatic calulation of percentages, squaring and extracting roots are with
the extended arithmetic operations.
5.2.1 Automatic Calculation of Percentages

5.3 Scientific Functions
As scientific functions Platon offers you trigonometric functions, logaritms,
and hyperbolical functions with their reciprocal values.
As an alternative to complicated multiple combinations of buttons you can
preselect a function, which you can use by pressing equals for long or + for
long for the reciprocal function. The preselection is done over the menue
(trigonometric functions, hyperbolical functions, or logarithms). Preselect the
function you need and execute the calculation with a long press on equals or
+.
Example: calculating natural logarithms
1 long press on menue (row 2 middle) announcement: “trigonometric
functions”

5.4 Conversions
With converison you can interchange physical units alined to presetted
factors quickly and easily.
5.4.1 Choice of physical Units
- Press the button menue for long (row 2 middle).
- Go to the submenue conversions using the buttons square (row 2 left) or
square root (row 2 right) and confirm your choice with a long press on the
menue button.
- choose the conversion you need using the square or square root buttons
and confirm your choice by pressing the menue button for long.
Platon offers the following conversions:
- customed conversion here you can enter any factor:
After having choosen customed conversion by pressing the button
menue for long customed conversion is announced. Please enter now a
number that you have determined as conversion rate e.g. 2,54 for the
conversion of centimetres into inches. The input is confirmed with a short
press on menue or equals. The conversion rate is announced.
- Currency: As the conversion rates of currencies change very often, you can
alter this conversion rate as well. Use the same procedure as used at
customed conversion.
- Temperatur: Conversion from °Celsius to °Fahrenheit
T[°C] = (T[°F] - 32) / 1.8
T[°F] = T[°C] * 1.8 + 32
- Volume: Conversion from liter to US-gallons
1l = 0.264172052 US gal
1 US gal = 3.785411789 l
- Length: Conversion from kilometer to English miles:
12
1km = 0.621371192mi
1mi = 1.609344001km
- Weight: Conversion from kilogramm to pound:
1kg = 2.204622622lb
1lb = 0.453592370kg
5.4.2 Executing a Conversion
Preset the conversion rate as described above. Then enter any number and
press the buttons point and equals (row 7 middle buttons) at the same time.
In order to revert the result press the buttons equals and plus (row 7 right
buttons) at the same time.
5.5 Financial Calculator
Platon offers financial forumlars in order to calculate compound interest and
cash value as well as calculations of annuities. In order to get to the financial
functions please press menue for long and go with the squre or square root
buttons to financial calculator and confirm your choice with a short press on
menue again.
5.5.1 Compound Interest
The calculation of compound interests gives you the answer to the question
which final capital you will have with a starting capital a certain amount of
time and a defined rate of interest.
After having choosen the formular with a long press on the menue button you
will be asked to insert the initial capital. Enter the sum and confirm by
pressing menue shortly. Now enter the rate of interest and confirm again.
Finally you are asked to enter the duration in years. After having confirmed
the final amount of the deposit is announced including initial capitla, interest,
and compuond interests at the maturity. The formula used is:
Final capital = initial capital * (1+ rate of interest/100) * duration
5.5.2 Present Value
Present value is the value on a given date of a future payment or series of
future payments, discounted to reflect the time value of money and other
factors such as investment risk. This means you can find out how much
opening capital is needed in order to achieve a certain final capital, after a
certain amount of time, and with a determined interest rate.
After you have chosen the formula, Platon will ask you to enter the final
capital. Press the numbers on the numerical key and confirm by pressing the
menu-button slightly. Now enter the interest rate and confirm again. In a final
step Platon will ask you to tell him the duration. After you have confirmed
13
again, Platon will tell you the sum needed as an opening capital. The formula
looks like this:
Present value = final capital / ((1 + interest rate/100)**duration)
5.5.3 Capital recovery factor
A capital recovery factor is the ratio of a constant annuity to the present value
of receiving that annuity over a given length of time. This means you can find
out how high regular instalments would have to be given the amount of
opening capital (e.g. bankloan), the rate of interest, and the duration.
After you have chosen the formula, Platon will ask you to enter the amount of
opening capital. Press the numbers on the numerical key and confirm by
pressing the menu-button slightly. Now enter the interest rate and confirm
again. In a final step Platon will ask you to tell him the duration. After you
have confirmed again, Platon will tell you the sum you would have to pay
regularly, e.g. for bankloans.
The formula looks like this:
((1+interest rate/100)**duration)*(i.rate/100) 1
Rate = amount of credits * ---------------------------------------------- * -------------------------
((1+interest rate/100)**duration) - 1 12 + ((i.rate/100)/2)*11
5.5.4 Annuity (opening capital)
The term annuity is used in financial theory to refer to any closed stream of
fixed payments over a specific time period. This means you can find out
which final capital would be obtained after a certain amount of time and with a
determined interest rate.
After you have chosen the formula, Platon will ask you to enter an annuity
(e.g. monthly payments). Press the numbers on the numerical key and
confirm by pressing the menu-button slightly. Now enter the interes rate and
confirm again. In a final step Platon will ask you to tell him the duration. After
you have confirmed again, Platon will tell you the final capital you would get
after a certain duration and with a determined interest rate.
The formula looks like this:
((1+interest rate/100)**duration) - 1
Capital = rate * ------------------------------------------- * (12+((interest rate/100)/2)*11)
((1+i.rate/100)**duration)*(i.rate/100)
14
6. Statistics
Platon has the following statistical functions available:
- addition of values
- substraction of values
- Calculation of average values:
* arithmetic mean
* geometric mean
* quadratic mean
* harmonic mean
- Calculation of standard deviation
- display of the following parameters:
* number of entered values
* sum of entered values
* sum of the square of entered values
* sum of reciprocity of entered
* produkt of entered values
Example: You want to work out the arithmetic mean and standard deviation of
a number of values
1) Enter to the statistics mode by pressing [2nd] [menu] - output "statistics"
Please notice that you can’t do any other calculations in the statistics mode.
2) Enter the number series (example 3 - 4- 5):
[3] [+] - output "addition of values"
[4] [+] - output "addition of values"
[5] [+] - output "addition of values"
3) Calculation of the arithmetic mean:
[x2] - output "arithmetic mean"
result: 4
4) Calculation of standard deviation:
[)] - Output "standard deviation"
result: 0.816496581
5) In order to check whether all values have been entered, you have the
possibility to ask Platon to tell you the entered values:
long [)] - output: "number of values"
result: 3
etc.
Just as when Platon is used as a normal calculator, the help-mode can be
entered with regard to the various buttons: Press [x2] and [√x] at the same
time and you will enter to the help-mode (“help mode on”). Now you can
press any button you like and Platon will tell you it’s function. You can get out
of the help mode by pressing both [x2] and [√x] again ("help mode off").
You have the possibility of leaving the statistics mode by pressing [2nd]
[menu] (like access).
15
7. MENU
In the menu you have the possibility to make modifications and respectively
make assortments. To enter the menu, hold down the Menu button: this is the
middle button in the second row and is marked with a tactile dot. When
pressing the button, you will hear Platon say “menu”. Now you can choose
your favoured menu item by using the buttons to the left and right in the same
row. Confirm your choice by holding down the middle button.

7.1 Volume
With this menu item can the volume be adjusted. There are 7 volume levels
(0-6), in which level 0 means no sound at all (no acoustic output).
7.2 Number output
This menu item provides the possibility of choosing whether Platon tells you
the result of a calculation as either a whole numer (such as 305) or as single
numbers (such as 3_0_5). Confirm the menu item Number Output by holding
down the middle button. Select your favoured option (whole or single
numbers) by gently pressing the right or the left button, then confirm this
choice by holding down the middle button.
7.3 Decimal place
The number of decimal places that are displayed can be limited
retrospectively. If the setting is at ‘10’ the zeros at the end of a number will be
decreased accordingly
Limit the number of displayed respectively announced decimal places. If the
settings are on ‘10’, zeroes at the end of a number will be restrained.
7.4 Display mode
Choosing the display format for the numbers:
- floating decimal: Numbers not fitting into Platon’s display (e.g. more than 10
digits) will be presented as decimal numbers (e.g. “12365.886”, “twelve
thousand, three hundred and sixty five point eight eight six”). If a number with
the 10 digits on the display can’t be demonstrated, Platon will automatically
change the settings to “scientific format” - that is, the value will be displayed
exponentially (e.g. 1237.65313 will be spoken aloud as “one thousand, two
hundred and thirty-seven point six five three multiplied by ten, raised to the
power thirteen”).
- scientific: Numbers will be presented with an exponentiation of base 10 (e.g.
„345.22-65“ will be three hundred and forty five multiplied by 10 raised to the
power of minus sixty five”).
- scientific: Numbers will always be presented with an exponentiation of base
10. SI prefixes based on powers of 10 are also used to describe small or
large quantities. For example, the prefix kilo means 103 = 1000, so a kilo is
1000 grams:

You can also change the settings through the key combination [2nd] [/].
7.5 Goniometer
With this menu item can the unit be determined by which the trigonometrical
functions are calculated. There are the following options:
- Grad: this ist he most common type. The full circle has got a radius of 360°
