Set a base currency and exchange rates
Before you can make currency conversions, you must choose a base currency
(usually your domestic currency) and add exchange rates. The rate of the base
currency is always 1. The base currency determines the conversion rates of the
other currencies.

Select Currency as the measure type, and select Options > Currency rates.
A list of currencies opens with the current base currency at the top.
2
To change the base currency, scroll to the currency (usually your domestic
currency), and select Options > Set as base curr.
When you change base currency, all previously set exchange rates are reset to
zero, and you must enter new rates.

Add exchange rates, scroll to the currency, and key in a new rate, that is, how
many units of the currency equal one unit of the base currency you have selected.

After you have inserted all the needed exchange rates, make the currency
conversions. See "Convert units" on page 79.
