section, we should explain how to enter the date and time. When you
are asked to enter a date and time, you can either type in the date
and time, or select it using shortcut keys, which are outlined at the
end of this section. When you type numbers in date/time, you can
use either computer Braille (without a number sign) or regular grade 1
Braille (with or without a number sign). When entering time, use “hh
mm” format, two digits for the hour, and two digits for the minute. For
example, use “10 05” to enter 5 minutes past 10. You can use a
dash (-) or slash (/) to separate the hour field and minute field, but not
a colon (:). You can enter a date in “mm dd yyyy” format, which uses
two digits for the month, two digits for the day, and four digits for the
year, as in “09 01 2004” to enter September 01, 2004. Again, you
can use a space, dash (-), or slash (/) to separate the month, day,
and year. To set the date and time with shortcut keys, you can use
the following commands.
