Braille Sense U2 User Manual ENGLISH MANUAL For Software Version 6.2
(December, 2011) When there are any manual updates, the readme files or appendices will be added to the manual CD and website. HIMS Inc. 4616 W. Howard Lane, Ste 960 Austin, TX 78728 Phone: 888-520-4467 Fax: 512-837-2011 Email: support@hims-inc.com Safety Precautions For your safety from the Braille Sense U2, please read safety precautions carefully. 1. The input voltage of the AC adapter is 100V - 240V, and the output is DC 5V / 2A. 2. When the Braille Sense U2 is shipped, the battery may be separate from the unit to avoid damage. The battery may not be fully charged when it is shipped. Before you use the Braille Sense U2, you should make sure the battery is fully charged. When you use the Braille Sense U2 for the first time, you may need to open the package, take the battery, and insert it into the battery slot at the rear panel of the unit. It is possible that the dealer or distributor from whom you purchased the Braille Sense U2 from has already done this for you. 3. When you use the Braille Sense U2 with the battery for the first time, the battery status may not be displayed accurately. In order to avoid this, connect the Braille Sense U2 to the AC adapter for about six hours with turn on. If you want to use the Braille Sense U2 immediately after opening the box, you will need to connect the AC adapter to the unit for more than six hours to fully charge the battery. 4. If you want or need to take the battery out of the unit, turn the power off, and then take the battery out of the unit. Before putting the battery back in to the unit, make certain that the power is off. There is a risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Please dispose of used batteries according to the instructions. 5. When you are using the Braille Sense U2 on battery power only
(without the AC adapter), the status of the remaining battery power will be announced when the battery power is low. When the batterys charge falls below 15 percent, connect the AC adapter to the unit for recharging. If the remaining battery power drops to five percent, and the unit is not connected to the AC adapter, the Braille Sense U2 will shut down one minute after the announcement of the batterys status. The amount of battery life per charge will vary depending on the options you have set. 6. Your Braille Sense U2 needs to be handled with care. The Braille Sense U2 is a very delicate machine. You should make sure to handle the unit in a proper manner. Also, the Braille Sense U2 is very sensitive to dust. Make sure to keep the Braille Sense U2 away from dusty environments. 7. The Braille cells are very sensitive parts. If any of the Braille cells are not working properly due to dust or any other reason, please contact our repair center, or the dealer whom you purchased the Braille Sense U2 from for support. 8. You will need to register your Braille Sense U2 in order to ensure further maintenance, service, and upgrade information. Please visit www.hims-inc.com, to register your information. If you have any trouble when registering your information, please contact the dealer whom you purchased your Braille Sense U2 product from for help. 9. Do not take apart the Braille Sense U2 by yourself. Do not have anyone else who is not authorized by HIMS take apart the Braille Sense U2. If an unqualified person disassembles the unit, serious damage may occur to the Braille Sense U2. If an unauthorized person disassembles the Braille Sense U2, the unit will be excluded from any free maintenance, and the warranty will become void. If any liquid or external force damages the unit, it may also be excluded from free maintenance, even if the damage occurred during the warranty period. 10. If you let your Braille Sense U2 remain for a long time at the closed or high temperature places like inside of car, the battery attached to the Braille Sense U2 may be defected or fired. So please dont keep your Braille Sense U2 at those places. 11. If you have any complaints or suggestions, please provide us with your comments on our website. We will improve our product based on your comments and suggestions. Thank you for using the Braille Sense U2, and we value any comments or suggestions you have for our product. 12.

How to use this manual Before using the Braille Sense U2, you should read the entire manual to familiarize yourself with the functions of the Braille Sense U2. Reading the entire manual will allow you to operate the Braille Sense U2 to its fullest potential. The Braille Sense U2 has many functions. Many of these functions operate in a similar manner, so it is important to become familiar with all of the functions of the Braille Sense U2. You will see references to hot keys and shortcut keys. These keys refer to ways to access menus and functions quickly by using a combination of keystrokes. Please note that not all hot keys and shortcut keys will work while you are in the Braille Sense U2. Some hot keys and shortcut keys require that you be within a program in order for specific hot keys and shortcut keys to work. This user manual uses a specific notation of how to press keys. When you see Space-b (dots 1-2), this means that you would press Space and dots 1 and 2 simultaneously. This is a very important concept to understand when using this manual. In order to use the Braille Sense U2, you will need to understand what a menu is, and how it works. You will also need to understand what a text box is, and how to type in information in a text box. It is very important that you completely understand concepts such as this, so that you are able to use the Braille Sense U2 to its fullest potential. If you find that you are unable to find a solution to a problem within the manual, or if you need assistance with the Braille Sense U2, please email us at support@hims-inc.com.

Likewise, using the LCD screen, sighted people, who do not know Braille, can teach Braille to those who are blind when using the Braille Sense U2. 1.2 Hardware In order to get the most out of your Braille Sense U2, you will want to become familiar with the Braille Sense U2 by learning where the buttons and ports are located, as well as the function of each of these buttons and ports. This section explains the hardware configuration of the Braille Sense U2. The dimensions of the Braille Sense U2 are 10 inches long by 6.1 inches wide by 1.9 inches high. On the bottom of the unit, there are rubber feet in order to prevent slipping while you are using the Braille Sense U2. The input keys are Perkins-style, which consist of seven keys that represent dot one through dot six, and the space bar. In addition to these seven keys, there are two function keys that correspond to the Backspace and Enter keys. Also there are 32 cells that make up the Braille display. The first thing you should do is place the Braille Sense U2 on a level surface that you can use to examine the Braille Sense U2, such as a table or desk. When the Braille Sense U2 is placed on a level surface, the shape of the entire unit will resemble a small, thin rectangular box. The Braille Sense U2 has six sides. You should feel for the Braille keys and Braille display. The side that the Braille keys and Braille display are on should be facing up. The side that is now facing up is referred to as the top of the Braille Sense U2. The side that is facing to your right is called the right side panel. The side facing to your left is called the left side panel. The side that is facing away from you is called the rear panel. The side that is facing toward you is called the front panel, and the side that the Braille Sense U2 is sitting on is called the bottom panel. This section of the manual describes each side of the Braille Sense U2 and the basic function(s) of each button and port. We will discuss each of the panels in the following order: top panel, right side panel, left side panel, rear panel, and front panel. 1.2.1 Top Panel Starting with the top of the Braille Sense U2, you will find a Braille display that is located close to the front panel on the Braille Sense U2. Above the Braille display, there are 32 small buttons that correspond to 32 Braille cells. These 32 small buttons are called cursor routing keys. You can use these buttons as cursor placement keys on the corresponding Braille cells when you are editing documents. The cursor routing keys will also work as shortcut keys in certain situations. On both the extreme right and left sides of the Braille display, are two capsule shaped buttons. These buttons divided into two parts up and down. These buttons are called scroll buttons. The upper button called up scroll button and the lower button called down scroll button. The scroll buttons can be used to scroll through the menus or other information that is displayed on the Braille display. If you are on text that has more than 32 Braille cells, the scroll buttons will scroll the Braille display. Above the cursor routing keys, are four rectangular shaped buttons. The spacebar is located between these four rectangular shaped buttons. Two of the rectangular shaped buttons are located on the left side of the spacebar and the other two are located on the right of the spacebar. These four rectangular shaped buttons are function keys. Moving from left to right, the key that is the farthest to the left is called the F1 key, and the key to the right of the F1 key is called the F2 key. Then, you will feel the spacebar. The key that is to the right of the spacebar is called the F3 key, and the key that is to the right of the F3 key is the F4 key. Above the function keys, you will find the Braille keys that are Perkins-
style, including the spacebar. If you have ever used a regular computer keyboard, this setup is very similar to the keys on the home row on a regular computer keyboard. When you are typing, you should place your fingers on these 9 Perkins-style keys in the following manner:
Place your index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and pinky finger of your left hand on the left four buttons. Then, place your index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and pinky finger of your right hand on the right four buttons. Finally, place both of your thumbs on the spacebar, also called the Space key. The button where you placed your left index finger corresponds with dot one in Braille. The button that your left middle finger is on corresponds to dot two, and the button that your left ring finger is on corresponds to dot three. The button on which your left pinky finger is placed on is the Backspace key. The button that your right index finger is on corresponds with dot four in Braille. The button that your right middle finger is on is dot five, and the button your ring finger is placed on corresponds with dot six in Braille. The button on which your right pinky is placed is the Enter key. And, the long bar shaped button where your thumbs are placed is called the spacebar. Toward the top of the Braille Sense U2 on the top panel, is a liquid crystal display (LCD) in the center. The LCD displays the printed text, so that someone who has sight can see what you are typing. On both sides of the LCD, there are two speakers, which enable the Braille Sense U2 to emit sound. At the right side of this LCD, there are there are 4 LED lights. From the left to right, first LED light is for wireless LAN and when you activate the wireless LAN, this LED light turns on with blue color. Second LED light is for Bluetooth and when you activate the Bluetooth, this LED light turns on with blue color. Third LED light is for the GPS and when you execute Sense Navigation, LED turns on with blue color (Only when you download the navigation map to the Braille Sense U2). Fourth LED light is for the power. When you turn on the Braille Sense U2, LED turns on with red color. These LED lights appear used option so that someone who has sight can see which option you activate with Braille Sense U2 and can turn of the option which you dont use currently. 1.2.2 Right Side Panel Next, let's discuss the right side panel of the Braille Sense U2. We will start from the front of the unit on the right side panel, and move our way toward the back. Toward the front of the Braille Sense U2 on the right side panel, you will find the USB OTG port. If you connect the unit to a personal computer by using this USB port, you can transfer files that are stored in the Braille Sense U2 to your personal computer, and vice versa. Continuing toward the back of the unit on the right side panel, you will find on the right side panel of the unit is the AC adapter jack. The AC adapter will plug in to this hole, and then plug in to a standard AC electrical outlet, so that you can use the Braille Sense U2 with electricity, instead of using power from the battery. The back of the AC adapter jack, you will find a slide switch which is key lock switch. This switch will be explained in more detail in the next section. 1.2.3 Left Side Panel Now, let's take a look at the left side panel of the unit. If you move your finger to the left side of the Braille Sense U2, you will find USB port. You can connect USB cable to this USB port. Continuing toward the back of the unit on the left side panel, you will find second USB port. The back of the USB port you will find SD slot and can insert SD card (secure digital card) in SD slot. 1.2.4 Rear Panel Next, let's take a look at the rear panel of the Braille Sense U2. On the far left of the rear panel, you will find a small button in round groove. This is the reset button. If your unit is not responding properly, you can press this button with your finger, which will reboot the unit via a hard reset. Pressing the reset button is a hardware reset. Do NOT press Reset button for more than 5 seconds. You can also do a soft reset by pressing F2-F3-1-2-3-4-5-6. This is a software reset, instead of a hardware reset. If you press down dots 1-2 and the reset button at the same time while the power is on, the Braille Sense U2 will turn on without speech. When the reset button is pressed, the Braille Sense U2 will reboot. It will take about fifteen seconds for your unit to complete the reboot process. At the right side of this reset button, you will find the local area network
(LAN) port. If you connect the Braille Sense U2 to an Ethernet interface through this port, you will be able to connect to the Internet, allowing you to browse websites as well as send and receive email. At the right of the LAN port, you will find USB port which is used for user to connect USB cable or USB memory stick. The details of this feature will be explained in more detail later in this manual. Next, to the right of the USB port, you will find a video output port. The video output port can be used to display the text that is shown on the Braille display on a regular computer monitor for sighted people. If you want to use this port, it will have to be turned on from within the options menu. This port is very beneficial when using the Braille Sense U2 in educational settings. The last thing you will find on the rear side panel of the unit is a rectangular hole that is for the detachable battery. The battery is separated from the unit when the Braille Sense U2 is shipped. Insert the battery into this rectangular slot until you hear a click sound. When you hear this sound, you will know that the battery is inserted correctly. To remove the battery from the unit, you will need to locate the latch that is found on the bottom of the unit. Using your left hand, pull the latch to the right panel, and then use your right hand to pull the battery out of the slot. 1.2.5 Front Panel Finally, lets take a look at the front panel of the Braille Sense U2. On the far left of the front panel, there is microphone jack. You can plug in microphone. To the right of the microphone jack is headphone jack. You can plug in stereo headphone jack. To the right of the headphone jack is slide switch. This slide switch is the audio mode switch. This switch will be explained in more detail in the next section. Next, to the right of the slide switch is five buttons in different shapes. The five buttons are for playback audio and recording sounds. These five buttons will be explained in the FM Radio, Daisy and Media program sections in this user manual. To the right of the five buttons is power switch. This switch will turn the unit on and turn the unit off. To turn on the unit, push the switch to the right. To turn off the unit, push the switch to right again. Congratulations! You are now familiar with the very basic functions of the buttons and ports that are located on the Braille Sense U2. The rest of the manual will discuss each function in greater detail to allow you to maximize the potential of your Braille Sense U2. 1.3 Hardware Specifications of the Braille Sense U2 1) Operating system: Windows CE 6.0. 2) Flash memory: 32GB. 3) RAM: 256MB. 4) CPU: Mobile CPU (800MHz). 5) Battery: Lithium Ion (detachable), backup battery and watch-

The RAM is memory space that is reserved for running programs. This memory space is a temporary storage of any program files that are running or any current data located in documents that you are editing. The data in the RAM area will disappear if your battery goes dead, and the AC adapter is not connected. Also, when the Braille Sense U2 reboots for any reason, the data in the RAM will disappear. However, the data in flash memory will not disappear, even if your battery goes dead, or if your unit reboots. Now that you know what the Braille Sense U2 is, move on to the next section to learn more about the basic functions of the Braille Sense U2. 2. Basic Functions of the Braille Sense U2 2.1 How to Use the Commands All of the commands that you will use on the Braille Sense U2 are comprised of different combinations of the Braille keys. In this user manual, the - sign is used to indicate key combinations. For example, Space-z (dots 1-3-5-6) indicates that the user should press space and letter z (dots 1-3-5-6) simultaneously and then release them at the same time. You will also find expressions like Space-1-3-5-6 in this manual. This means that the spacebar with dots 1, 3, 5, and 6 should be pressed and released simultaneously. You can execute most commands by pressing Enter button. If you want to cancel the execution of any command, and return to the previous status, press Space-z (dots 1-3-5-
6). Space-z (dots 1-3-5-6) is a very important command to remember, as it will allow you to back out of programs and menus, when you may have pressed keys that you did not mean to press. 2.1.1 Messages If you have setup an appointment in the Braille Sense U2, schedule Manager, you will be notified of your appointments by the Braille Sense U2 on the day of your appointment. When you are notified of an appointment, you can interact with the Schedule Manager as you normally would. In order to exit from the Schedule Manager, you should press Space-z (dots 1-3-5-6) or Space-e (dots 1-5), and launch another program. If you do not want to be alerted of todays schedule when you turn on the Braille Sense U2, you should turn off the Check todays schedule option. If you turn off the Braille Sense U2 while another program is opened, and then you turn it on again, the Braille Sense U2 will tell you the name of the program that was running on the Braille Sense U2 when you turned it off. If you turn off the Braille Sense U2 while you are using the word processor, it will tell you the file name/input mode and file protection status as well as the program name. When you connect the AC adapter to the Braille Sense U2, the Braille Sense U2 will speak the message AC adapter connected. When you disconnect it from the Braille Sense U2, the Braille Sense U2 will say, AC adaptor disconnected. 2.2 Concept of the Menu The menu on the Braille Sense U2 is similar to the concept of a restaurant menu. For instance, a menu that is used at a restaurant will help you select your choice of food that will be served, while the menu on the Braille Sense U2 provides you with choices that you can select. If you have selected a menu item from the menu items list, and there are sub menus, the Braille Sense U2 will display those choices for that particular item. Moving among the menu items is very simple. Press Space-m (dots 1-3-4) or F2 to call up the menu, and press up scroll button or Space-1 to move to the previous item, and press down scroll button or Space-4 to move to the next item. Or just press an alphabet that follows the menu names. This is a shortcut key. Or you can execute the menu item without calling up the menu by pressing hotkey. Shortcut keys are the alphabets in the parentheses that follow the menu names. And hotkeys are the combination of a couple of keys like Enter, Space, or Backspace. These are displayed after the shortcut keys. For example, if you are in the word processor, and press Space-m (dots 1-3-4) or F2, and then press Enter on File, you will hear New (n) pull down Enter-n. The word New represents the function. The letter n
(dots 1-3-4-5) is the letter that you would press while you are in the File menu in order to move directly to New. Enter-n (dots 1-3-4-5) is what you would press to access the function New from anywhere in the word processor. The n is the shortcut key and Enter-n is the hotkey. It is important to note that not all shortcut keys work from anywhere in the Braille Sense U2; some commands will only work while you are in a specific program. For example, if you want to activate the new document option in the word processor. You cannot press Enter-n (dots 1-3-4-5) in the program menu to activate this option. You must be in the word processor program in order for Enter-n (dots 1-3-4-5) to activate the new document option. You can also move to the next menu item by pressing Space-4. You can move to the previous menu item by pressing Space-1. When you want to move to the first item of the menu, you can press Space-1-2-3. If you would like to move to the last item of the menu, you can press Space-4-5-6. The corresponding menu name will be displayed on the Braille display, and the menu name will be spoken through the TTS (text to speech) engine. If you want to listen to the name of the menu again, press Space-r (dots 1-2-3-5). Once you move to a menu item that you want to execute, press Enter in order to execute the menu. By pressing Enter, you will move to the sub menu. If there is no submenu, the Braille Sense U2 will execute the command from the menu. This process is called menu selection. You may also move to any menu or execute any menu by pressing an initial spelling of the menu. Sometimes, if a menu is executed by pressing Enter, the lower-level menu is displayed. In this case, the right direction arrow sign (->) is displayed after the name of the corresponding menu on the Braille display. When this happens, the Braille Sense U2 will say, pull down. Or, if a menu is executed by pressing Enter, the dialog box is displayed. In this case, the ellipsis sign () will be displayed after the name of the corresponding menu on the Braille display. The Braille Sense U2 will also speak the message, common dialog. Lets begin going through the various menus. First, turn the unit on by pushing the power switch toward you. Now, bring up the program menu. You can bring up the program menu by pressing F1. The program menu is the top menu in the Braille Sense U2. That is, the program menu is the parent directory for everything, as there are no directories or menus above the program menu. The items in the program menu are file manager, word processor, address manager, schedule manager, e-
mail, media player, FM Radio, web browser, daisy player, Bluetooth manager, database manager, extras, social networking, utilities, global options, and help. The first item of the program menu is File manager. If Space-4 is pressed, the next menu item is displayed on the Braille display, and it is also spoken. If Space-4 is pressed repeatedly, the Help menu will be displayed. The Help menu is the last item on the program menu. Press Space-4-5-6 when File manager is displayed. The Braille Sense U2 will say Help, as the help menu is displayed. Then, press Space-1-2-3, and the Braille Sense U2 speaks File manager. It means that Space-4-5-6 moves to the last item of the program menu, and Space-1-2-3 moves to the first item of the program menu. If you want to move from the current menu to the upper level menu, press Space-e (dots 1-5). At any point in the program menu or navigating sub-menus, you can press the F1 key to go to the program menu immediately. The file manager, which is the first item of the program menu, will be displayed. 2.2.1 Control Symbols on the Braille Sense U2 The Braille Sense U2 has many control symbols. Those symbols appear when you set Before and After the Control information in the Global options. The default value is set to Before. However, if you are in the web browser, the control symbols will be displayed even if you turn off the Control information option. The control symbol will appear in front and back of the menu name or item name. For example, you might see something like, MN File (f) pull down. The following table shows the names and the symbols of the control symbols that are displayed in front and back of menu names. Name Menu Symbol MN Menu item List item MI LI Edit box EB Multi edit box MEB Computer edit box CE Combo box CB Comments It means the menu that has submenus. It means the menu that does not have a submenu. The item name after this symbol represents the name of the item in any list.
(Ex: LI database or LI sample.txt in the file list of the file manager) The item name after this symbol represents the edit box name. You can find the edit box after the edit box name. In the web browser, the symbol EB may be followed by an edit box without an edit box name. Edit boxes that begin with the symbol EB are one line.
(Ex: EB Last name: (cursor) in the address manager program or EB (cursor) This also represents the edit box. But you can type in more than one line in the edit box.
(Ex: MEB Subject: (cursor) in the e-mail program) It means there is an edit box to input ASCII Braille. The edit box after this symbol should allow ASCII Braille to be typed in.
(Ex: CE To: (cursor) in the email program) It represents the combo box in Edit combo box ECB Prompt button PB Static box ST Link Anchor LN ANC Radio button RB which you can choose an item by pressing the up scroll button or the down scroll button.
(Ex: CB Type: *.* in the Open dialog box of the word processor program) You can choose the desired item by pressing the up or down scroll button, or by directly typing in the item name.
(Ex: ECB File name: (cursor) in the Open dialog box of the word processor program) PB follows any question in which you have to choose Yes or No. You can toggle between Yes and No by pressing the Space or the Backspace button.
(Ex: When you exit from the word processor, PB Save: Yes) ST is followed by the current status.
(Ex: ST noname.hbl/insert mode/write in the word processor program) It means there is a link in the web page. It means there is an anchor in the web page. It represents a radio button, which allows you to choose an item by pressing the up scroll button, down scroll button, space, or Backspace. Also it cycles between items when pressing this key.
(Ex: RB Attribute: Write in the Information dialog box of the file manager) It means that the radio button is selected in the web browser It means that the radio button is not selected in the web browser. It means that the check box is selected. It means that the check box is not selected. SRB Radio button select Radio button unselect Check box check SCHB URB Check box uncheck UCHB Links, anchors, and radio button are controls that are only used in the web browser. The symbols enable you to understand what type of box or menu you are working with. For example, if MN, MI, or LI are displayed in front of a list, you can move from one item to the next item or previous item by pressing the up or down scroll button. If ECB, EB, CB, or MEB are displayed on the display, you will have to find the cursor and input the desired letters at the cursor position. If BT is displayed, you can press Enter to push the button. 2.3 Using the Function Keys There are four function keys on the Braille Sense U2. When using the Braille Sense U2, you can open the menus, cancel tasks, and move to other items by using these function keys. No matter where you are in the Braille Sense U2, the F1 key will open the Braille Sense U2 program menu. You can also use F1 and the shortcut key for each program in the program menu to open each program anywhere in the Braille Sense U2. For example, if you are in the word processor, and want to open the web browser, you could press F1-b (dots 1-2) to open the web browser. In each program, Space-m (dots 1-3-4) and the F2 key will open the specific menu for each program. The F3 key has the same function as tab (Space-4-5). If you press Space-F3, this will have the same function as pressing shift-tab (Space-1-2). The F4 key will function just like the escape key does on a personal computer. This key performs the same function as pressing Space-e (dots 1-5). Please note that the escape key does not exit a program, as does Space-z (dots 1-3-5-6). You can use combinations of the function keys to allow you to do many tasks. Pressing F1 and F2 at the same time will work the same as page up on a personal computer. If you press the F3 and F4 keys at the same time, this is the same as pressing page down on a personal computer. The combination of the F1 and F4 keys will move you to the Task Name (like the task bar in a computer running Microsoft Windows). If you press the F2 and F3 keys simultaneously, you can switch between the different programs that are running just like pressing alt-tab in your PC. The Task Name and program switching will be explained in greater detail in the section 2.10, entitled, Multi-Tasking. 2.4 The AC Power Supply and the Battery Pack for the Braille Sense U2 It is very useful to know what the remaining battery power when the Braille Sense U2 is being operated only on battery power. If the remaining battery power is not sufficient, the Braille Sense U2 will indicate that the battery power is low. In this case, you need to check the remaining battery power, especially when you are using the Braille Sense U2 without plugging it into an AC power supply. To check the battery power status, press Space-1-6. You will find the following 2 items:
1. Battery power level 2. Power source (battery, AC supply or USB power) The battery power level represents the percentage of the remaining battery power. The power source indicates whether power is coming from the battery or the AC power/USB power supply. If the battery power level drops under 15 percent, the Braille Sense U2 will display the battery status on the Braille display, and it will announce (through the speakers) that the battery has less than 15 percent of its power left. If the battery power level falls below five percent, the Braille Sense U2 will give you a warning indicating that your battery power level is under five percent, and the Braille Sense U2 will be automatically turned off in one minute, unless you connect the Braille Sense U2 to an AC power supply. Lets explore the detachable battery pack. When the Braille Sense U2 is shipped, you will find the battery pack is not installed in the Braille Sense U2. This is done to prevent damage during shipping. When you insert this battery pack in to the Braille Sense U2 for the first time, the unit may display an inaccurate battery power level. Before using the Braille Sense U2 for the first time, please charge the battery for five hours. If you need to use the unit during the initial recharge, the unit should be connected to the AC power supply for at least five hours in order to fully charge the battery. When you remove the battery from the Braille Sense U2, make sure your unit is turned off; especially when the AC power supply is not connected to your unit. Otherwise, you will lose all of your data that is stored in RAM. If you remove the battery, and do not have the Braille Sense U2 hooked up to the AC power supply or USB power supply, your data that is stored in RAM will remain for only about an hour. In order to keep your data that is stored in RAM, the Braille Sense U2 must be connected to an AC power supply or USB power supply or battery pack within an hour; otherwise the data that is stored in RAM will be lost. 2.5 Basic Explanation of Disks, folders, and files The flash memory in the Braille Sense U2 is similar to a big bookshelf in a library. The piece of hardware in the Braille Sense U2 that is called the disk is similar to the idea of a bookshelf in a library. You can make partitions on a bookshelf in order to organize books into categories. Each category can be compared to what are called folders on the Braille Sense U2. The books in each section can be compared to what are called files on the Braille Sense U2. You can save files into any folders at your convenience. If you make the proper folder names for files you are saving, it will make it easier to find saved files when you need to access them later. When the Braille Sense U2 is shipped from the factory, the name of the flash memory in the Braille Sense U2 is called flashdisk. You can create folders on this flashdisk in any way that you prefer. You can also expand your memory space by adding additional memory devices, such as a floppy disk drive through a USB port, USB stick memory (also known as a USB flash drive), or SD card. The USB stick memory is called USB. If you decide to add any of these memory devices, you will be able to create folders, and save files on the additional memory devices. 2.6 Controlling the Volume, Speed, and the Pitch of Speech You can change the volume, speed, and pitch of speech used on the Braille Sense U2. To change the volume, you can press Backspace-F4 to raise the volume. Press Backspace-F1 to lower the volume. To make changes in the reading speed, you can press Space-F4 to make the reading faster. Press Space-F1 to make the reading speed slower. In order to make changes in pitch, press Enter-F4 for a higher pitch and Enter-F1 for a lower tone. When any of the above combination keys are pressed, the Braille Sense U2 will announce the status of its volume, rate, or pitch. The changes you made with these combination keys will remain in effect even when you turn off the machine and turn it back on again. 2.7 How to use the Voice and the Braille display When using the Braille Sense U2, you can choose to use Braille only or speech only for reading. You can also use both Braille and speech at the same time for reading. However, you cannot turn off both Braille and the speech simultaneously. You can utilize Backspace-F2 to turn the speech on and off. You can use Backspace-F3 to turn the Braille on and off. Please refer to section 3.2.1 in this user manual for more information. 2.8 How to type the character In the document, edit box and multi edit box on Braille Sense U2, you can enter the grade 1 or grade 2 Braille. But in the computer edit box such as To in email program, you have to enter the computer Braille. If you want to enter the capital letter, you can use the capital sign (Space-
u (dots 1-3-6)) when you enter the computer Braille. For example, if you want to enter the H in computer edit box, you press Space-u (dots 1-3-
6) and press dots 1-2-5. If you press Space-u (dots 1-3-6) twice, capitals continue until you turn off by pressing Space-u (dots 1-3-6). You can use the Space-Backspace instead of capital sign (Space-u). Only, you have press Space-Backspace and dots 1-2-5 simultaneously. Also you can use the capital sign when you enter the at sign. To input the at sign, you need to press Space-u (dots 1-3-6) and press dot 4. Also you can input the at sign by pressing Space-
Backspace-dot 4. And if you want to enter the number, you can use the number sign (dots 3-4-5-6). But in the computer edit box, you have to input the number in computer Braille that lowered by one row and no number sign. 2.8.1 The ASCII table for a computer Braille input exclamation mark: dots 2-3-4-6 quotation mark: dot 5 number sign: dots 3-4-5-6 dollar sign: dots 1-2-4-6 percent: dots 1-4-6 ampersand: dots 1-2-3-4-6 apostrophe: dot 3 left parenthesis: dots 1-2-3-5-6 right parenthesis: dots 2-3-4-5-6 asterisk: dots 1-6 PLUS: dots 3-4-6 comma: dot 6 dash: dots 3-6 period: dots 4-6 slash: dots 3-4 0: dots 3-5-6 1: dot 2 2: dots 2-3 3: dots 2-5 4: dots 2-5-6 5: dots 2-6 6: dots 2-3-5 7: dots 2-3-5-6 8: dots 2-3-6 9: dots 3-5 colon: dots 1-5-6 semi colon: dots 5-6 less than: dots 1-2-6 equal: dots 1-2-3-4-5-6 great than: dots 3-4-5 question mark: dots 1-4-5-6 at sign: Space-u (dots 1-3-6), dot 4 A: Space-u (dots 1-3-6), dot 1 B: Space-u (dots 1-3-6), dots 1-2 C: Space-u (dots 1-3-6), dots 1-4 D: Space-u (dots 1-3-6), dots 1-4-5 E: Space-u (dots 1-3-6), dots 1-5 F: Space-u (dots 1-3-6), dots 1-2-4 G: Space-u (dots 1-3-6), dots 1-2-4-5 H: Space-u (dots 1-3-6), dots 1-2-5 I: Space-u (dots 1-3-6), dots 2-4 J: Space-u (dots 1-3-6), dots 2-4-5 K: Space-u (dots 1-3-6), dots 1-3 L: Space-u (dots 1-3-6), dots 1-2-3 M: Space-u (dots 1-3-6), dots 1-3-4 N: Space-u (dots 1-3-6), dots 1-3-4-5 O: Space-u (dots 1-3-6), dots 1-3-5 P: Space-u (dots 1-3-6), dots 1-2-3-4 Q: Space-u (dots 1-3-6), dots 1-2-3-4-5 R: Space-u (dots 1-3-6), dots 1-2-3-5 S: Space-u (dots 1-3-6), dots 2-3-4 T: Space-u (dots 1-3-6), dots 2-3-4-5 U: Space-u (dots 1-3-6), dots 1-3-6 V: Space-u (dots 1-3-6), dots 1-2-3-6 W: Space-u (dots 1-3-6), dots 2-4-5-6 X: Space-u (dots 1-3-6), dots 1-3-4-6 Y: Space-u (dots 1-3-6), dots 1-3-4-5-6 Z: Space-u (dots 1-3-6), dots 1-3-5-6 left bracket: Space-u (dots 1-3-6), dots 2-4-6 back slash: Space-u (dots 1-3-6), dots 1-2-5-6 right bracket: Space-u (dots 1-3-6), dots 1-2-4-5-6 carat: Space-u (dots 1-3-6), dots 4-5 underscore: Space-u (dots 1-3-6), dots 4-5-6 grave accent: dots 4 a: dot 1 b: dots 1-2 c: dots 1-4 d: dots 1-4-5 e: dots 1-5 f: dots 1-2-4 g: dots 1-2-4-5 h: dots 1-2-5 i: dots 2-4 j: dots 2-4-5 k: dots 1-3 l: dots 1-2-3 m: dots 1-3-4 n: dots 1-3-4-5 o: dots 1-3-5 p: dots 1-2-3-4 q: dots 1-2-3-4-5 r: dots 1-2-3-5 s: dots 2-3-4 t: dots 2-3-4-5 u: dots 1-3-6 v: dots 1-2-3-6 w: dots 2-4-5-6 x: dots 1-3-4-6 y: dots 1-3-4-5-6 z: dots 1-3-5-6 left brace: dots 2-4-6 vertical bar: dots 1-2-5-6 right brace: dots 1-2-4-5-6 tilde: dots 4-5 2.8.2 Input/search for Control character
Control character is a code in a character set, which does not in itself represent a written symbol in computing. For example, all entries in the ASCII table below code 32 such as Form Feed (FF), TAB, and Carriage Return (CR). In the Braille Sense U2, you can input or search the control character in the Braille documents.
1) Inputting the Control character The control character can be input only in the Braille documents. Inputting the control character in the Braille documents, follow these steps below.
(1) While opening the Braille document, press Space-x (dots 1-3-4-
6) and control character will be announced.
(2) Input the control character. For example, pressing l (dots 1-2-3) for Form Feed (FF) and i (dots 2-4) for TAB in alphabetic order. Pressing dot(s) for each control character except dot-7 and 8.
(3) The control character will be inputted in the Braille documents. 2) Searching for the Control character The control character can be searched as well in the Braille documents. Searching for the control character, follow these steps below.
(1) While opening the Braille document, press Space-f (dots 1-2-6).
(2) Text to find will be displayed.
(3) Press Space-x (dots 1-3-4-6) and control character will be announced.
(4) Input the control character that you want to search for. For example, pressing l (dots 1-2-3) for Form Feed (FF) and i (dots 2-4) for TAB in alphabetic order. Pressing dot(s) for each control character except dot-7 and 8.
(5) Pressing Enter will search for the control character. 2.9 Multi Tasking The Braille Sense U2 can do more than one task at the same time, which is called multi-tasking. For example, you can work with the word processor while you are listening to music, and you can put calculations into a document at the same time. This is called a Braille Sense U2 multi-task. If you want to work with the word processor while listening to music, you can first run the media player and play a music file. While playing music, you can press F1 key to open the Braille Sense U2 menu and run the word processor. The Braille Sense U2 can run up to seven programs simultaneously. You cannot have more than seven multi-tasks. That is, you cannot run more than seven programs at the same time. If you try to run a program that you are already running, the new instance of the program will not start, and you will be taken to the instance of the program that is already running. For example, while you are working with a document called A, you decide to execute the file manager. Next, you move to a document called B by pressing the move keys in the file list of file manager, and you press Enter. Then, the word processor will not load again for opening the document B, but the document B will be opened in the word processor, which document A is also running on. If you want to switch documents, you need to open them in the word processor without running other programs. In this case, you can switch them with tab(Space-4-5 or F3) or shift-
tab(Space-1-2 or Space-F3). Switching documents will be explained later in detail in section 4, which covers the word processor. After you press F1 to call up the program menu, or after you press F1-
F4 to open the Task Name, you can press escape (Space-e or F4) to return to the previously-running program. If you want to switch between programs while running more than one program, press F1 and F4 keys at the same time to open the Task Name. The Task Name shows the names and numbers of the running programs, just like the file manager. You can cycle through the running programs on the Braille Sense U2 with the Space-1 or the Space-4 and scroll buttons. Press Enter key to run the program that you want after focusing on your selection. The combination of the F2 and F3 keys can switch between all of the running programs immediately without opening the Task Name. It functions the same way as the alt-tab keys on your PC. If you are running three programs and you are in the second program, pressing the F2 and F3 keys at the same time will move you to the third program. If you press F2-F3 again, you will be on the first program. In the above case, pressing Space-z (dots 1-3-5-6) will close the current running program and move you to the previous program. However, if there is only one program running, pressing Space-z (dots 1-3-5-6) will close the program and move you to the Braille Sense U2 program menu. Note that Space-z (dots 1-3-5-6) is different from the escape key, which does not close programs. 2.10 Switching Audio mode The audio buttons on the front panel will work for different function according to the location of Audio mode switch. If you push the audio mode switch to the left side, the Braille Sense U2 will say radio mode and the audio buttons will work for the FM Radio program. If you set the audio mode switch to the center, the Braille Sense U2 will say daisy mode and the audio buttons will work for the Daisy program. If you push the audio mode switch to the right side, the Braille Sense U2 will say media mode and the audio buttons will work for the Media program. So in order to use the audio buttons as you desire, you have to set the audio mode switch to the proper position. For example, when you are using Media program and the audio mode switch is located in the left side, the audio buttons on the front panel will work for FM Radioprogram. The detailed function of the audio buttons will be explained in the FM Radio, Daisy and Media program sections in this user manual. 2.11 Switching Key lock You can disable or enable any specified keys on the Braille Sense U2 by using Key Lock switch on the right side panel. If the key lock switch put on front, Braille Sense U2 will say all keys locked. In this case, you cant use the all keys including the on/off switch. If the key lock switch put on center, Braille Sense U2 will say top panel locked. In this case, only you can use the buttons and switches in the front panel (audio mode switch, audio buttons and on/off switch). If the key lock switch put on rear, Braille Sense U2 will say unlocked. In this case, you can use the all keys (Braille keyboard, audio buttons, scroll buttons, function keys, audio mode switch and on/off switch). But, you can use the reset button, regardless of location of key lock switch. 2.12 Print Spool The Braille Sense U2 has a print spool function. This function enables the Braille Sense U2 to do other tasks while printing to an ink-printer or Braille embosser. For example, if you send data to your printer or embosser, you will be immediately returned to where you were before the print command was executed. If you want to check the print spool dialog box after you have given the print command, press Space-2-3-4-
6. Then, you will see the dialog box which has three controls. The first control is a list that gives you information about files that are being printed. There is also a Cancel button and a Close button. You can cycle through the three controls by pressing tab (Space-4-5) or shift-
tab (Space-1-2). In the information list, you can move item by item by pressing Space-4 or Space-1. However, if you open up the dialog box without printing anything, you will see no items and the Close button. While printing, the information list will contain the following: running program name, printing file name, printer type, the number of copies, and either printing or ready. For example, lets assume that we are printing one copy of sample.hbl in the word processor. In the info list, you will see program: word processor, file: sample.hbl, printer, copy: 1, printing. If you are using a Braille embosser, you will see embosser instead of printer. If there is not anything printing and, (the printer is waiting), you will see ready instead of printing. If you print something out in the e-mail program, you will see emailtemp.txt, instead of the file name. When you are printing something from the address manager, or the schedule manager, you will see the message, prn_(time).txt. If you focus on any of the files in the info list, and press Enter on Cancel after pressing tab (Space-4-5), you will cancel the printing of that file. If you press Space-4-5 repeatedly, locate Close, and press Enter on Close, you will close the print spool dialog box. Pressing Space-z (dots 1-3-5-6) will also close the print spool. 2.13 One-Handed Mode Braille Sense U2 provides a one-handed mode for users restricted to the use of one hand for Braille input. To turn on one-handed mode, hold down F3, while turn on the power switch. And to turn off this mode (i.e. to return on two-handed mode), hold down F4, while turn on the power switch. Also, by using the Option menu, you can turn on or off this mode. When one-handed mode turned on, the input methods are as follows:
1. To type a character, you press the dots in any combination or order. And when you have pressed all dots, press Space. For example, if you want to type the h, you press dot 1 and dot 2 separately or together and then press dot 5. And finally you press Space. 2. To press a command that includes Space, you press Space both before and after the other keys. For example, if you want to press Space-o (dots 1-3-5), you press Space and then press dot 1, dot 3 and dot 5 separately or together in any order. Then press Space again. 3. To press a command that includes Backspace or Enter, you press Backspace or Enter before the other keys. And then press other keys. Finally you press Space. For example, if you want to press Enter-l (dots 1-2-3), you press Enter and then press dots 1-2-3. And press Space. 4. To press Space, Backspace and Enter, you press this keys twice. For example, if you want to press Space to make a space between words, you press Space twice. The operation of the scroll buttons, function keys, audio buttons remains the same as in two-handed mode. If one-handed mode is on, the Braille Sense U2 will advise this each time it is turned on, and will also advise what to do to return to the two-
handed mode. 2.14 Using Typing Mode While you are typing in document, you execute Typing Mode. In order to execute the Typing Mode, follow these steps:

You can navigate all of the items in the Global options with Space-1 or Space-4. You can also use the scroll buttons for navigating through each of the items. You can change the setting values with the spacebar or Backspace buttons. There are many shortcut keys which you can use to quickly move you to wherever you want to go in the Global options. By pressing Space on an item in the Global options, you can turn the setting on or off, or toggle between the various options that are available for the item you are on. The Global options is like a dialog box. To change and save the settings in the Global options, you must press Enter once you have selected the setting that you want to save. If you do not press Enter (or select Confirm) on the setting that you want, the setting will not be saved. Once you press Enter to save the setting, the Braille Sense U2 will say, Saved options, and you will be returned to where you were before you entered the Global options. To cancel the change to the setting, press F4 key, Space-e (dots 1-5), or Space-z (dots 1-3-4-5). The Braille Sense U2 will then speak the message, Canceled saving options. When you are on an option, you can also use tab (Space-4-
5) or shift-tab (Space-1-2) to go to the Confirm and Cancel buttons. If you want to save your settings, press Enter on the Confirm button. If you do not want to save the changes you made to the settings, press Enter on the Cancel button. Before we go in to detail about each option, lets first go through a brief overview of what you will find in the Global options. 3.1 Global options Overview The Global options contains different settings that can be changed in the Braille Sense U2. By pressing Space-o (dots 1-3-5), you can open the Global options while you are anywhere in the Braille Sense U2. The Global options has five groups. 1. Braille setting (which includes Braille display, Braille cursor, eight dot mode, view/input grade, Braille Code and message display time) 2. Voice setting (which includes voice, language, punctuation level, keyboard echo, capitalization alert, numbers, abbreviation, voice volume, voice rate, voice pitch, and scroll voice) 3. Display setting (which includes LCD, flip LCD display, LCD font size, and video display) 4. Print setting (which includes printer port and print paper size) 5. General setting (which includes audio alerts, play power on/off sound, left scroll buttons, right scroll buttons, skip empty lines, control information, hide passwords, hot key information, announce shortcut keys, power saving mode, power saving kick in, check today's schedule, one-handed mode, Automatic spell-check, default document type, Automatically synchronize with time server, progress indicator, Bluetooth, wireless LAN, Ethernet port, and mass-storage device mode.) You can move between the five groups by pressing page down
(Space-3-4-5 or F3-F4) or page up (Space-1-2-6 or F1-F2). When a group is opened, a list of options will appear that can be changed for the particular setting that you are on. A list of options under a group, are referred to as a list. You can move between items in the list by pressing Space-1 or Space-4. You can then change the setting for each option by pressing Space or Backspace on each option. 3.2 Global options in Detail Now, lets take a look at each function in the Global options in more detail, and look at the specific steps on how to change the various settings. It is very important to note that there are duplicate shortcut keys; therefore, pressing a shortcut key will move the focus to the next setting that has a matching shortcut key, and pressing the same shortcut key will move the focus to the next setting that has the same shortcut key. If there are no more settings that have the same shortcut key, the Braille Sense U2 will wrap around and move to the first match. Pressing Space-1 or Space-4 moves the focus to the previous setting or the next setting. Pressing page up (Space-1-2-6) or page down (Space-
3-4-5) will move the focus to the beginning of the previous group of settings or to the beginning of the next group of settings. 3.2.1 Braille display The first item that you will find in the Global options is Braille display. You can switch the Braille display on and off with Space key. The default is set to On and the shortcut key is b (dots 1-2). You can toggle the Braille display on or off, by pressing Backspace-F3 while you are using another program in the Braille Sense U2, without having to pull up the Global options. If you have changed the setting, press Enter key to save the setting. You can also tab (Space-4-5) or shift-
tab (Space-1-2) to the Confirm button, and press Enter. If you do not want to save the setting, tab (Space-4-5) or shift-tab (Space-1-
2) to the Cancel button, and then press Enter. You can also cancel saving the setting by pressing Space-z (dots 1-3-5-6) or Space-e (dots 1-5). 3.2.2 Braille Cursor You can choose how you want the Braille cursor to show up on the Braille display. The shortcut key is c (dots 1-4). By default the cursor is set to Always up. If you do not want the cursor set to Always up, you can press Space key to turn the cursor Blinking, and one more press Space key to turn the cursor Off. If you have changed the setting, press Enter key to save the setting. You can also tab (Space-4-5) or shift-tab (Space-1-2) to the Confirm button, and press Enter. If you do not want to save the setting, tab (Space-4-5) or shift-tab (Space-
1-2) to the Cancel button, and then press Enter. You can also cancel saving the setting by pressing Space-z (dots 1-3-5-6) or Space-e (dots 1-5). Note that there are three types of cursors:
1. dots 7-8 2. blinking dots 7-8 3. blinking dots 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 The blinking dots 7-8 will be displayed when you are in the overwirte mode in the word processor. The blinking dots 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 will appear when you are using the Start Selection setting in the word processor and when you are in an edit box. In all other situations, the cursor will be displayed as dots 7-8. 3.2.3 Eight Dot Mode You can choose to use a 6-dot-Braille or 8-dot-Braille display when using ASCII text mode. The shortcut key is e (dots 1-5). By default the 8-dot-Braille display is set to off. You can switch this option to 8-dot-

(dots 1-3-5-6) or Space-e (dots 1-5). 3.2.5 Braille Code The Braille code setting defines the rules by which Braille is translated to text and vice versa. The Braille Sense U2 offers 2 English Braille codes as well as entry of Spanish Braille. Thus the Braille code can be set to use US, UEBC, (Unified English Braille Code) or Spanish. The original intent of the UEBC was to explore the possibility of bringing together three of the official Braille codes that are used for Braille in English-speaking countries for various purposes, viz.: literary material
(English Braille, American Edition), mathematics and scientific notation
(Nemeth Code), and computer notation (Computer Braille Code). Choosing Spanish allows you to input Braille according to Spanish Braille rules, and read documents created in Spanish using Spanish Braille translation. The short cut key of the Braille code is c (dots 1-4). The default setting is set to US. If you want to change to UEBC you need to press Space. If you have changed the setting, press Enter to save the setting. You can also tab (Space-4-5) or shift-tab (Space-1-2) to the Confirm button, and press Enter. If you do not want to save the setting, tab
(Space-4-5) or shift-tab (Space-1-2) to the Cancel button, and then press Enter. You can also cancel saving the setting by pressing Space-z (dots 1-3-5-6) or Space-e (dots 1-5). Note: If you change the Braille Code option while you are editing Braille in the Word Processor, current written Braille would be changed to different meanings in text. In order to avoid this situation, the Braille Code option needs to be changed before launching the Word Processor. 3.2.6 Message Display Time You can choose when a Braille message will disappear from the Braille display. This setting will only work when the voice setting is set to Off. But Stand by and Ignore execute when the voice setting is set to On. The shortcut key is m (dots 1-3-4). The setting options that you can choose from are Stand by, Ignore, and 1 to 10 seconds. The default is 3 seconds. The Space key increases the option by one second and the Backspace key decreases the option by one second. You can set the unit to standby mode by pressing the Space key until you reach Stand by. In this mode, the message will remain until you press a key. The higher value you select, the longer the message remains. If you read the message before setting the number of seconds, you can clear the message by pressing any key. If you choose Ignore, then messages will be ignored and wont show on the display. If you have changed the setting, press Enter key to save the setting. You can also tab (Space-4-5) or shift-tab (Space-1-2) to the Confirm button, and press Enter.

For your convenience, the File manager provides you with menus and hot keys. The menus will appear when you press Space-m (dots 1-3-
4) or F2. It is possible to format the flashdisk, which will erase everything on the flashdisk. Be extremely cautious when executing this command. If you execute this command, you will loose all of your data. You will NOT be able to get this data back once the command has been executed. To format the flashdisk, press Space-1-2-3. While holding down Space-1-
2-3, quickly press and release the reset button. Continue pressing Space-1-2-3 until you hear the flashdisk formatting. 4.1.1 Navigating the File List There are two kinds of lists that you will see when using the Braille Sense U2. The lists are: file list and the menu list. When you reach the end of the menu list, the Braille Sense U2 will automatically bring you back to the top of the list when you press Space-4. However, when you reach the end of a file list, the Braille Sense U2 will remain at the end of the file list, even if you press Space-4. The following is a list of the navigation keys;
1. Move to previous item: Up arrow key(Space-1) or up scroll button 2. Move to next item: Down arrow key(Space-4) or down scroll button 3. Move to the beginning of a list: Ctrl-home (Space-1-2-3) 4. Move to the end of a list: Ctrl-end (Space-4-5-6) The following keystrokes are valid only when you are on a file list. 1. Fast move to folder list or move to file list: Space-5-6 2. Move between file list and address window: Tab (Space-4-5 or F3) /
shift-tab (Space-1-2 or Space-F3) 3. Enter into a selected folder or open the selected file: Enter 4. Move to the upper level folder: Backspace 5. Fast move to the top level disk: Space-1-2-5-6 6. Move to the previous 32-item group: Page up (space 1-2-6 or F1-F2) 7. Move to the next 32-item group: Page down (space 3-4-5 or F3-F4) 8. Find and move to the file or folder in the file list by pressing the first character of the folder or file names. You must use ASCII characters. 4.1.2 Item (Folder or File) Selection Key 1. Select item by item (Space): Select one or more item(s) while moving in a list. * is displayed in front of the selected item. Pressing Space again on the selected file that has * displayed by it will cancel the selection. 2. Continuous selection (Enter-b (dots 1-2)): This will select all of the items from the point where this command is executed to the item where the cursor is moved to. * will appear in front of the selected items. 3. Select all (Enter-a (dot 1)): This selects all the items including files and folders in the current path. You can use navigation keys to move around the selected items to make sure they are selected. You can cancel selections or reselect canceled items by pressing Space on the item. When the Select All command is given, the Braille Sense U2 will say the number of selected files, and will display * in front of the selected files on the Braille display. 4.1.3 Cancel / Exit Key Cancel (Space-e (dots 1-5) or F4): This command will cancel a function, just like the esc key cancels functions on a personal computer. Exit (Space-z (dots 1-3-5-6)): This will cancel or stop a selected function or program. This is similar to the way alt-F4 closes a program on a personal computer. 4.2 Using File Manager Features in the File List When you open the File manager, you will see the list of disks that you can access. You can choose a disk from the list, and then press Enter to get into the selected disk. The Braille Sense U2 will show you the list of folders and files on that disk. The items within the quotation marks are the folders, and the items without quotation marks are the files. The items on the list will be followed by numbers, such as 1/5 or 2/5. The numbers after the names of the items indicate where an item is on the list, and how many items are on the list. For example, database 1/5, means that this is the first folder on a list that has five items. 4.2.1 Selecting Disks When you open the File manager, the first item on the list is flashdisk. If you inserted the SD card in SD card slot, SD card will be listed on this list. Any of the disks can be selected by using the up and down arrows
(Space-1 or Space-4). You can also use the scroll buttons to choose one of the disks. After selecting the disk you want, press Enter to open the disk you have selected. 4.2.2 Getting in and Out of a Folder (Opening/Closing a Folder) There are several ways to open a folder. You can utilize a menu to get into a specific folder. 1) You can call up a menu by pressing Space-m (dots 1-3-4) or F2. You will have to choose the menu item called Open from the list and press Enter to get into a selected folder. 2) You can also press Enter-o (dots 1-3-5) to call up the menu to 3) Another way to open a selected folder is by just pressing Enter open a desired folder. on the folder that is selected.

If you have set one of the two, press Enter or tab
(Space-4-5) to move to the Confirm button, and then press Enter to apply what you have just set. If you have specified a program that does not support the file type, nothing will be displayed or played after the program has started. In the File manager, if you activate the Open With menu after focusing on folders that have Daisy or media files, you will see the associated program, Daisy or media player. If you activate the Open With menu, and encounter a folder that does not have the Daisy info file
(discinfo.html or ncc.html), you will not be able to see the Daisy player as an associated program. You can play all of the files after selecting either the Daisy or media player. 4.2.4 Send To You can use this option to copy files and folders to different disks such as a flash disk, USB flash drive (also known as USB stick memory), SD card. After selecting files and folders, you can call up the menu with Space-m (dots 1-3-4) to choose the Send To option. Then, when you press Enter on Send To, the Braille Sense U2 will display the list of disks that you can use to send your files or folders to. You can choose a destination disk by using the up and down arrow keys (Space-1 or Space-4) or up and down scroll buttons.

(dots 2-3-4) without calling up a menu. 4.2.5 Copy / Move There are some differences between Copy and Move. Copy leaves the original files and folders in their original places, while Move removes original files and folders from their original places. In the File manager, you can use the copy function as follows:
First, you have to select the files and folders you would like to copy. Second, you need to call up the menu, and choose Copy from the list to copy selected files and folders. If you want to move files and folders, you can choose Cut from the menu. When the Copy or Cut command is executed, the Braille Sense U2 will return to the file list. Third, you need to go into the destination folder and call up the menu, and choose Paste. Press Enter on Paste, and your selected files and folders will be copied or moved. If the destination folder is the same folder where the selected files are, the Braille Sense U2 will attach Copy1- to your original file names for copied files. If the same files are copied into the same folder once again, the Braille Sense U2 will attach Copy2- to the original file names for the second copied files. If your destination folder has the same name as the file you are copying, the Braille Sense U2 will say File xxx already exists. Overwrite? Yes. Press Enter if you want to replace the file. However, if you do not want to overwrite the file, select No, and press Enter. When No is selected, the Paste function will be canceled. Example: Copying sample.txt from the root folder to the download folder. 1) Select sample.txt from the root folder by using the navigation keys Space-1 or Space-4. 2) Call up the menu by pressing Space-m (dots 1-3-4), and choose Copy. Then, press Enter. The Braille Sense U2 will return to the file list in the root folder. 3) Move to the download folder, and press Enter. Call up the menu again to choose Paste. Press Enter on Paste, or press v

Word Processor When you launch the word processor on the Braille Sense U2, the Braille Sense U2 will place you in a new document that is ready for you to write in. The menu can be opened by pressing Space-m (dots 1-3-4) or F2. Dont worry if you cant remember the exact shortcut keys for each of the menu items, since you can activate various functions of the word processor by activating the word processor menu. The menu in the word processor consists of file, edit, go to, read, and layout. In order to use these menus, press Space-m (dots 1-3-4) or F2 in the word processor, select a menu item, and press Enter or press Backspace and the corresponding character that represents the menu item name. For example, in order to open the edit menu, press Space-m (dots 1-3-
4) or F2 to open the menu, and move to the next menu by pressing up and down arrows (Space-1 and Space-4) to find the Edit menu, and then press Enter. Or, press Space-m (dots 1-3-4) and press e (dots 1-5), which represents the Edit menu. The Edit menu contains a lower level menu. The right arrow is displayed at the end of the menu name, and it is spoken as pull down after the menu name. If a menu contains a dialog box, ... will be displayed after the name of the menu and it will be spoken as common dialog. Before going in to more detail about the word processor, it is also important to note that while you are anywhere in a document, you can find out your location by pressing Space-1-5-6. Also, if you are editing a document, and turn the Braille Sense U2 off while you are editing a document, the Braille Sense U2 will say the status when you turn the Braille Sense U2 back on. In the next few sections the features of the word processor will be explained in more detail. We will also explain the functions of each of the menu items available in the word processor. 5.1 File Menu The File menu contains the menus that will allow you to create new documents, open documents that were saved to a disk, save any documents that were edited, and print in Braille. It also contains various environment setting menus. In order to select the file menu, press the Space-m (dots 1-3-4), and press f (dots 1-2-4). Or, press Enter on File. 5.1.1 New The new command creates a new document that can be edited. By default, the name of the new document is noname.brl. The extension,
.brl is the extension given to documents that are created in Braille on the Braille Sense U2. It is the same file name that is named automatically when the word processor opens. In order to create a new document, select New on the File menu. Or, press Enter-n (dots 1-3-
4-5). If New is executed while editing another document, Sense Document (s) is displayed first. If you press Space-4 repeatedly, Braille Document (b) and Text Document (t) will appear. Select the document type that you want, and then press Enter. New means that users can create a new document after closing the document that is currently being edited. Closing the document that is currently being edited means that the document is erased from the temporary memory. If a new document is executed without saving the document that is currently being edited, the Braille Sense U2 asks whether it should save the current document, so that changes to the document will not be lost. When Save: Yes is displayed, users can select Yes in order to save the current document or select No in order not to save the changes. If you select Cancel by pressing Space once more, the word processor will cancel the new document, and return to the current document. Note that you can change the Default document type, in the Global options. By changing the Default document type, you can choose to have your default document type as text, sense, or Braille. 5.1.2 Open The open command opens a document that has already been saved on to a disk. Select Open on the File menu, or press Enter-o (dots 1-3-
5). You can access the File menu by pressing Space-m (dots 1-3-4), or by pressing F2. Then, a dialog box pops up, so that you can open a file. The Open dialog box is a tool that helps you find documents that you want to edit and read. It consists of the file list (which shows the list of files or folders), File name (to type in a file name directly), Type
(which changes the file format when opening a document), a Confirm button (for confirming the selection), and a Cancel button (for canceling the selection). In order to move between these controls, press tab
(Space-4-5) or shift-tab (Space-1-2). If the Open dialog box is executed, File name: is displayed first. If File name: is displayed, then type in a file name that you want to open, and press Enter. The file name should be typed in ASCII Braille. The Braille Sense U2 will look for that file in the /flashdisk/My Documents folder. If there are files that you used recently, you can scroll through them by pressing Space-4. The file names that were opened recently are displayed one by one by pressing Space-4. If the file that you want to open is selected press Enter to open it. In order to move to the previous file name in the list, press Space-1. In order to open a file with a different file format, press tab (Space-4-5) to move to the file format selection, and then press the up arrow (Space-1) or down arrow (Space-4) to select a desired file format. You can find and open a desired file from the file list without typing in the file name directly in the File name: box. Press tab
(Space-4-5) several times to move to the file list, and then select a desired file. You can also move to the file list by pressing shift-tab
(Space-1-2) when you are at the File name: dialog box. The files in the file list have the file format that was selected in file type. You can select a file that you want by using the up and down scroll buttons, and you can open the file by pressing Enter. If you select a folder and press Enter, you will see the list of files in that folder. If you want to access a file that is on a compact flash card, or USB memory stick, you can access the file in the Open dialog box by first moving to the file list by pressing shift-tab (Space-1-2) or Space-
F3. Then, press Backspace until you hear the USB stick memory or the compact flash card. Then, press Enter to open the memory. The Braille Sense U2 will choose the Braille mode depending upon the file type. For example, if you press Enter to select a file that has the extensions hbl or brl, or if you type in a file name with those extensions and press Enter, the Braille Sense U2 will open the selected file in Grade 2 Braille. You will not be able to change the Braille mode in these documents. If you press Enter to select a file that has the extensions of txt or doc, it will open the file in what is currently set in View/Input grade of Global options. After the file opens, you can switch the Braille mode. In the word processor of the Braille Sense U2, it is possible to open and work simultaneously with up to 10 files at one time. If you already have one document open, and you try to open another document, the Braille Sense U2 will ask you if you want to save changes to the document that is already open. Then, you can save the file. Once you have completed saving the document, an open dialog box will appear. However, you will still have the two files open. It only seems that you closed one without saving it. With the new document open, if you want to go to the previous document, you can press shift-tab (Space-1-2). If you want to go back to the other document again, press tab (Space-4-5). 5.1.3 Save The save command will save a document to a disk drive. If you want to use this option, you can press Space-m (dots 1-3-4) to open the File menu and execute the Save command by pressing Enter on it, or you can press s (dots 2-3-4). Otherwise, you can press Enter-s (dots 2-3-
4) while editing a document. If you created a new document by activating the word processor or by pressing enter on New in the menu; if you execute Save, the Save as dialog box will open. You can refer to section 5.1.4 that explains how to use the Save as dialog box. If you execute Save after you edit a document that was opened using the Open function, the Braille Sense U2 will save the document with the same file name without using a dialog box. After saving a document, it will return to document edit status. When you have several documents open, you can save the current open document, by pressing Space-q (dots 1-2-3-4-5). This will close the document, save it, and return to the previous document. Note:
1) PDF and Epub file cannot be saved as a same file type. When trying to save, it will execute Save as and needs to be saved different file type. 2) When saving the rtf and doc, the file formatting will be lost and saved. 5.1.4 Save As The Save As option is used to save a document as a different file name, on another disk drive, or as a different file type. If you want to execute this command, press Space-m (dots 1-3-4), and then press Enter when the File menu is displayed. Move to Save As by pressing Space-4. Then, press Enter. Another way is to press Space-s (dots 2-3-4), which executes the Save As command in the word processor. If you execute Save As, the Save as dialog box is displayed. This dialog box is almost the same as the Open dialog box. It consists of file list, File name, Type (representing the file format), a Confirm button, and a Cancel button. If the dialog box is opened, File name: is displayed. You can move from one tab to the other tab by pressing tab
(Space-4-5) or shift-tab (Space-1-2). If you execute Save As when you are editing a document that you opened, the displayed file name, file format, and the folder are the same as those of the file that you opened. When executing Save as, PDF and Epub, the formatting will not be kept and will be saved as TXT format. However, if you created a new document by executing the word processor or by executing New, and you execute Save or Save As, the displayed default file name is noname.brl and the file path is flashdisk/My Documents/. If you want to edit the file name that is displayed on the Braille display, press the cursor routing key where you want to edit the file name, and then modify it. Or, if you want to make a new file name, type in the new file name without pressing any of the cursor routing keys. You cannot use the following characters in a file or folder name. |, \, <, >, ?, :, *
If you want to change the file format, move to Type. In Type, move to the file format that you want by pressing Space-1 or Space-4. If you want to save a file with a file name that is in the file list, move to the file list by pressing shift-tab. Note: When saving the rtf and doc, the file formatting will be lost and saved. 5.1.5 Close Current Document The Close Current Document command allows you to close the current document that you are working on without closing the word processor. You can access the Close Current Document command by pressing Space-m (dots 1-3-4) or F2. Then, press Enter on the File menu. Use the up and down arrows (Space-1 and Space-4) until you find Close Current Document, and then press Enter. Or, you can press q
(dots 1-2-3-4-5) in the File menu. You can also access this function by pressing Space-q (dots 1-2-3-4-5) while you are editing a document. Please note that this function will not work if you only have one document open. You must have at least two or more documents open in order to execute the Close Current Document command. 5.1.6 Print The Print command is used to print the current document in ink or emboss it in Braille. If you want to execute this command, press Space-
m (dots 1-3-4) or F2, and press Enter on the File menu. Then, move to Print by pressing Space-4, and then press Enter, or just press p (dots 1-2-3-4). While editing a document, the hot key for printing is Space-p (dots 1-2-3-4). There are two lower level menus for the Print menu. One is for printing with an ink printer, and the other is for embossing in Braille. Remember that you can move between the menu items by using Space-1 or Space-4. 1. Embossing in Braille Open the document that you want to be embossed. Press Space-m
(dots 1-3-4) to activate the menu. Locate print in the File menu and select Embosser, or press b (dots 1-2). If you select Embosser (b) above, the Embosser dialog box is opened. Here you can type in the page number where you want the embossing to start, and type in the end page number, where you want the embossing to stop. The following items are in the dialog box. 1) Start page number This is the beginning page number to be embossed. The default page number is set to 1. You can change the value of the page number, by typing in the value that is desired. You can move to the next selection item, which is the End page number by pressing Space-4. 2) End page number This is the ending page number that is to be embossed. The default value is set to 100000. It means that the document will be embossed to the end of the document, unless the document exceeds 100000 pages. In order to change the value, input the number of the ending page. You can move to the next selection item (which is the Number of copies) by pressing Space-4. 3) Number of copies This option designates the number of copies to be embossed. The default value is set to 1. You can change this number by typing in the number that is desired. If you press Space-4 or Space-1, you will be moved to Print method or End page number, respectively. If you want to move to Confirm, press tab (Space-4-5). 4) Set Braille format In this option, you can set whether or not the Braille document layout settings specified in Braille Sense U2 will be used when embossing. If you set this to Yes, the document will be embossed using the Braille document layout setting in Braille Sense U2. If you set it to No, the document will be embossed in the format specified in the original document. 5) Confirm / Cancel In order to emboss as designated above, move to Confirm by pressing tab (Space-4-5), and then press Enter. Or, if you are canceling embossing, move to Cancel by pressing tab (Space-4-5), and then press Enter. If Enter is pressed on Confirm, Print: Yes is displayed on the Braille display and it is also spoken. If Enter is pressed on Yes, embossing will start. If you do not want to emboss, press Space to select No, and then press Enter. If Save as file is selected by pressing Space, then the current document is saved as a brl file. If there are any problems with the Braille printer, the Braille Sense U2 shows an error message and returns to the open document. 2. Print Text This option is used when you want to print a document on an ink printer. To do so, open the document to be printed and press Space-m (dots 1-
3-4) or F2, and then press Enter on the File menu. Move to Printer by pressing Space-4 repeatedly. Then, press Enter when you are on Printer, or just press p (dots 1-2-3-4). The dialog box for Printer is almost the same as Embosser. After you input the value as in embosser dialog box, press tab (Space-4-5), and then Print: Yes is displayed. If Enter is pressed, printing will start. But, if you press Space to move to No, and press Enter, printing will be canceled, and the Braille Sense U2 will return you to the open document. Note that the Braille Sense U2 will work with all HP printers (level 3 PCL or higher), and with HP-compatible printers. 5.1.7 Settings If you want to change the environment, press Space-m (dots 1-3-4) or F2, and press Enter on the File menu in order to enter into the File menu. Move to Settings (e) by pressing Space-4 repeatedly, and then press Enter on Settings, or just press e (dots 1-5). While editing a document, pressing Enter-e (dots 1-5) will open the Settings menu. When this menu is opened, a dialog box is displayed, which contains the followings: the settings list, Default folder button, Confirm button and a Cancel button. You can move between controls by pressing tab

The setting time can be increased or decreased by 10 minutes if you press Space or Backspace, respectively. 7. Apply settings to all documents (Yes/No): This option selects the settings only if they are valid for all documents. If Yes is selected, the settings will be kept for all future documents, and if No is selected, the settings will only affect the document that is currently being edited. In order to toggle between Yes and No, press Space. If you want to change the default saving folder, you move to Default folder button by press tab (Space-dots 4-5) and press Enter. And then you will see the file list. In file list, you move to folder or disk that you want by using the moving keys and press Enter after press Space. If you completed the settings, you move to Confirm button by press tab (Space-dots 4-5) and press Enter. If so, you can change the settings and return to the current editing document. If you do not want to save the setting, you press Enter on Cancel button. If so, it will cancel the setting and return to the current editing document. 5.1.8 Exit This command will close the word processor. In order to execute this command, select Exit in the file menu, or press Space-z (dots 1-3-5-
6). If the document has been changed (or edited) and Exit is selected without saving the document, a dialog box will ask you if you want to save the current document. You can select (Yes) with the spacebar and press Enter to exit the word processor. 5.2 Edit Menu In the Braille Sense U2, you can edit all files regardless of what the view mode is set to. In the Edit menu, you will find the following items: Start Selection, Copy, Cut, Paste, Delete, Delete Blank Lines, Add To clipboard, Clear Clipboard, Select All, Insert From File, Insert Date, Toggle Insert/Overwrite Mode, and Check Spelling. If you want to open the menu, press Space-m (dots 1-3-4) or F2, and then press Enter on Edit. Or, you can press e (dots 1-5) in the menu. Now, lets explore the edit menu. 5.2.1 Start Selection The Start Selection command allows you to select a certain portion of text that you would like to edit. When you use the Start Selection command, the cursor will appear as blinking dots 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8. The Start Selection command allows you to make changes to only the text that is selected, and the changes will not affect text that has not been selected. The Start Selection command is especially useful for copying, cutting, and pasting. You can select text in a document by placing your cursor on the location where you want to start selecting text. If you want to use this function, press Space-m (dots 1-3-4) or F2 to open the Edit menu, and then press Enter on Start Selection, or you can press b (dots1-2) in the Edit menu to get to this option. While editing a document, pressing Enter-b (dots 1-2) will activate this command. The end point of the selected text is where you want to place the cursor after setting the starting point. For example, if you have typed the word, mother in a document, and you want to select the word mother, you should place the cursor on the letter m, and then place the cursor directly after the letter r. Then, you will have selected the entire word. 5.2.2 Copy After selecting text in a document, press Space-m (dots 1-3-4) or F2 to open the menu, and move to Edit by pressing Space-4. Press Enter to open the Edit menu. Press Space-4 to move to Copy and then press Enter, or press c (dots 1-4) in the Edit menu. While editing a document, pressing Enter-c (dots 1-4) will activate this command. When you copy the selected text, it will be copied to the clipboard. The clipboard is the virtual space that is used for storing copied data temporarily. However, if you decide to copy new text that you have selected, the data in the clipboard that you copied before will be erased, and the selected text that you have just copied will replace the previously selected text that was on the clipboard. 5.2.3 Cut To cut a selection of text, press Space-m (dots 1-3-4) or F2, and press Enter on Edit to enter into the Edit menu. Move to Cut by pressing Space-4 repeatedly, and then press Enter on Cut, or press x (dots 1-3-4-6) in the Edit menu (which is the short cut) to cut your selected text. While editing a document, pressing Enter-x (dots 1-3-4-
6) will activate the Cut command. The difference between Cut and Copy is that if you execute the Cut command, the text that has been selected will be moved to the clipboard and the selection in the document will be cut. However, the Copy command will copy the selection to the clipboard, and the text that has been selected will not be erased from the document. 5.2.4 Paste To paste selected text to the clipboard, press Space-m (dots 1-3-4) or F2, and then press Enter on Edit to enter into the Edit menu. Move to Paste by pressing Space-4 repeatedly and then press Enter on Paste, or press v (dots 1-2-3-6) in the Edit menu (which is the short cut) to paste the selected text from the clipboard. While editing a document, press Enter-v (dots 1-2-3-6) to paste the text from the clipboard. 5.2.5 Delete To delete text that has been selected, press Space-m (dots 1-3-4) or F2, and then press Enter on Edit to enter into the Edit menu. Move to Delete by pressing Space-4 repeatedly, and then press Enter on Delete, or press d (dots 1-4-5) (as a short cut) in the Edit menu to delete the selected text. When you are editing a document, you can press Space-d (dots 1-4-5) to delete text that you have selected. 5.2.6 Delete Blank Lines In order to delete blank lines, you must select the area of the document where you want the blank lines to be deleted from. Once this has been done, press Space-m (dots 1-3-4) or F2, and press Enter on Edit to enter into the Edit menu. Then, use the up and down arrows
(Space-1 or Space-4), and press Enter on Delete Blank Lines, or press l (dots 1-2-3) as a short cut, while in the Edit menu. If you want to delete an empty line while you are editing a document, press Backspace-e (dots 1-5), which is the hot key for Delete Blank Lines. 5.2.7 Add to Clipboard When you have selected the text you want to select in your document, you should press Space-m (dots 1-3-4) or F2, and then press Enter on Edit to enter into the Edit menu. Move to Add To Clipboard by pressing Space-4, and then press Enter, or press p (dots 1-2-3-4). While editing a document, pressing Enter-p (dots 1-2-3-4) will activate this command. Add To Clipboard is almost the same as the Copy command. However, with the Copy command, the newly selected text will replace the text that was copied before. The Add To Clipboard command however, will not erase the previously data from the clipboard when you use this command to copy the selected text. It will keep the previously selected text, and the new text that you have selected will also be added to the clipboard. 5.2.8 Clear Clipboard To clear the clipboard, press Space-m (dots 1-3-4) or F2, and press Enter on Edit to select the Edit menu.

Address Manager 6.1 What is the Address Manager?
The Address manager is a program that you can use to keep track of your contact information and schedule information, such as names, company addresses, home addresses, as well as other information. Address manager has two main dialog boxes: Add Address and Search Address. In the Add Address, dialog you can enter contact information, such as names, company addresses, home addresses and so on. The information that you have entered can be saved for later use. In the Search Address, dialog you can look for information that is stored in the Address manager. You can edit or delete information that you find. You can also select addresses to be printed using an ink or Braille printer. You can also connect to a web site by pressing Enter on a homepage address field if the field contains an address for a web site. In the program menu, you can start Address manager by typing a (dot 1), or by selecting Address manager. Press Space-4 or Space-1 repeatedly in the program menu until you arrive at the Address manager, and then press Enter to open it. Before going into the details of how to use the Address manager, let's discuss the structure of address data. The address data that is stored in Address manager consists of a set of records. A record is a collection of contact information about one person or company. Each record contains 23 fields. These 23 fields are:
Last name, First name, Company name, Title, Mobile phone, Home phone, Home fax, Company phone, Company fax, Home street address, Home city, Home state, Home zip code, Home country, Company street address, Company city, Company state, Company zip code, Company country. Home e-mail, Company e-
mail, Home page, and Memo. Thus, one record contains all the information you can keep about a person or company. 6.2 Starting the Address Manager When you press Enter on Address manager in the program menu, the Braille Sense U2 will say Search Address, and display the prompt, Last name:. In other words, when you start the Address manager, the Search Address dialog box will be opened. In Address manager, you can use the menus to conveniently browse and execute all of the available commands. When you cannot remember the exact hot key for the command that you want to execute, you can press Space-m (dots 1-3-4) or F2 to open the menu. 6.3 Using Add Address This dialog box allows you to enter new addresses in the Address manager. In order to use the Add Address function, press Space-m
(dots 1-3-4) or F2 to bring up the Address manager menu, and then press the Space-1, Space-4 or the up and down scroll button to move to Add Address. Then, press Enter. Or, press Enter-i (dots 2-4)
(which is the hot key) in Address manager. 6.3.1 Adding an Address Add address is a dialog box that contains a list of 22 input fields, the Memo field, a Confirm button, and a Cancel button. In the input fields, you can enter the information corresponding to the 22 fields of a record. Confirm is used to save the information entered, and Cancel is used to discard the entry. You can move among the input fields, Memo, Confirm, and Cancel by pressing tab (Space-4-5) or shift-tab (Space-1-2). Among the 22 input fields, you can move from one field to the next by pressing the Space-1, Space-4 or the up and down scroll button. Here you should type in the appropriate information for each field, and press the down arrow (Space-4) to move to the next field. You do not have to fill in all of the fields. If you want to skip a field, press the down arrow (Space-4), and the field will be left blank. You will then be prompted for the next field. When you have entered information in the desired fields, you can save the information by pressing tab (Space-4-5) or shift-tab (Space-1-
2) repeatedly to move to the Confirm button. Then, press Enter. Or, you can press Enter in any field. If you dont want to save the information that you have entered, press tab (Space-4-5) or shift-tab (Space-1-2) repeatedly to move to the Cancel button, and then press Enter. After you cancel the entry, you will be prompted for another record, beginning with the Last name field. You can the use the cursor routing keys to move from one field to the next. In any input field, if you press the first cursor routing key all the way to the left, the first input field (Last name:) will be displayed and you can type in a name there. If you want to enter a mobile phone number without entering other information, press the 5th cursor routing key, and then enter the phone number. In order to jump to the Home e-mail field, which is the 20th field, you should press the 20th cursor routing key. If you have pressed the 23th cursor routing key, or any key to the right of the 23th key is pressed, you will hear a warning sound because there are only 23 fields in a record. You can enter telephone numbers using computer Braille (without a number sign) or regular grade 1 Braille (with or without a number sign). To type in a dash (-) while typing in a telephone number (e.g. 000-000-
0000), you should press Space or dots 3-6. If you want to put an extension number after any phone number, enter the phone number as described above, and then type a comma (,), followed by the extension number, as in 000-000-0000,100. In this case, you should press dot 6 to enter the comma in computer Braille or dot 2 in grade 1 Braille.

You can also press u (dots 1-3-6) while you are in the menu to get to Backup Address List. Or, you can press Enter-u (dots 1-3-6) to activate this function without calling up the menu. If you already have a backup file, you will see the message Backup file already exists. Continue to backup? Yes. If you have made any changes to your address list, you need to press Enter to create a new backup file. If you want to keep the previous backup file, press Space-4, locate No, and press Enter on it. When you make a backup file in your address list, you will always have a new backup file with the extension DAT, and you will have another file with the extension BAK (which originated from the previous address.dat file). 6.5.2 Restore Address List If you want to restore the address list after a cold reset, press Space-m
(dots 1-3-4) or F2 to call up the menu, and use the up and down scroll buttons to find Restore Address List. Then, press Enter on Restore Address List. Or, you can press r (dots 1-2-3-5) while you are in the menu to find Restore Address List. You can also press Enter-r (dots 1-

If you activate the Restore Address List function, and you already have an address list, you will see the message, Address file already exists. Which do you prefer? Append. If you press Enter, the backup address list will be appended to the current address list. If you press Space-4 once and press Enter on Overwrite, you will install the new backup file, erasing the old backup file. For example, let us assume that you have three records in your address list and you have ten addresses in your backup file. If you select Append, you will have 13 records in your address list. In this case, three addresses could possibly be redundant. If you select Overwrite, you will have 10 addresses backed up, and the three original addresses will be deleted. If you dont want either Append or Overwrite, press Space-4, locate Cancel, and press Enter on it. 6.5.3 Setting Backup Option To backup your address list, you can do it manually using the Backup Address List function. You can also backup your address list automatically by using the Set Backup Options. To activate the Set Backup Options function, press Space-m (dots 1-3-4) or F2 to open up the menu. Then press Space-4 or Space-1 repeatedly to locate Set Backup Options. Then press Enter on it. Or, you can press e
(dots 1-5) in the menu to go to Set Backup Options. You can also activate the function without opening up the menu by pressing Enter-e
(dots 1-5). If you activate the function, you will see a dialog box. The dialog box has three controls: Backup mode radio button, a Confirm button, and a Cancel button. You can switch between controls by pressing tab
(Space-4-5) or shift-tab (Space-1-2). To switch between radio buttons, you can press Space-1, Backspace, Space-4, or Space. The Backup mode has three radio buttons: Always backup changes when exiting, Manual backup, and Prompt backup changes when exiting. 1. If you select the Always backup changes when exiting, a new backup file will be automatically created if you modify the address list or add other information when you exit the address manager. 2. If you select the Manual backup, it will not create a new backup file even though there may be changes in the address list. In this case, you can only make a new backup file by using the backup address list menu. 3. If you select the Prompt backup changes when exiting, you will see the message Backup changes? Yes when you exit the address manager, if you have modified the address list or added other information. If you press Enter on Yes, it will automatically create a new backup file and exit the address manager. If you press Space-4 once and press Enter on No, it will exit without making a new backup file. You can change the backup mode if you press Enter after focusing on one of the three radio buttons. Or, you can press Enter on Confirm by moving to it by pressing tab (Space-4-5). The default backup mode is set to Prompt backup changes when exiting. 6.6 Importing and Exporting CSV CSV is the acronym for Comma Separated Value.

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. If you want to change AM/PM, press Space-x (dots 1-3-4-6).

You can set the time in the same way as when you set the appointment time. The time can be set anywhere from one minute to forty-seven hours. To set the time with shortcut keys, you can use the following commands. 1. Time setting keys Move to 1 hour after: Space-4 Move to 1 hour before: Space-1 Move to 10 minutes after: Space-5 Move to 10 minutes before: Space-2 Move to 1 minute after: Space-6 Move to 1 minute before: Space-3 If you attempt to set the time to 0, the Braille Sense U2 will display the message, Time of appointment. If you do not want to set an alarm, press Space-1 when Alarm time is set to Time of appointment. Then, Alarm off will be displayed, and the alarm for this appointment will be turned off. After setting the Alarm time, save this appointment by pressing Enter, or by pressing tab (Space-4-5) to move to the Confirm button, and press Enter. If you have set the Alarm time, it will go off at the specified time even if the Braille Sense U2 is turned off. If you want to stop the alarm, press Backspace-Enter. 7.4.9 Setting a recurring Schedule You can set this option when the schedule you are creating currently recurs periodically. If you clear this check box, the schedule will be set to occurring once. You can check or uncheck this option by pressing Space. That is, if you press Space when this box is checked, it will be unchecked, and if you press Space when this box is unchecked, it will be checked. If you have unchecked this, just press Enter, or press tab
(Space-4-5) repeatedly to move to the Confirm button and press Enter, to save the schedule. If you want to set recurrence schedule, you should press Space and then press tab (Space-4-5) or Enter to move to the combo box where you can set the recurrence pattern. In this combo box, you can select one of Daily, Weekly, Monthly and Yearly. We will discuss these options in more detail in the next section. 7.4.9.1 Daily If you select Daily, and press tab (Space-4-5), the focus will move to Recurring interval of day edit box. Here, you can enter the number of days after which the appointment recurs. You can type a number between 1 and 999. If you enter 1, the appointment recurs every day, and if you enter 2, it recurs every other day. One thing you have to be careful when you use this is that the difference between the starting and end date should be shorter than the recurring interval value. For example, suppose that the appointment starts at 09:00, Feb. 1, 2006, and ends at 12:00, Feb. 2, 2006. If you set the recurring interval to 1, you will get an error message The appointment duration should be shorter than the recurring interval. This is because it is logically impossible that the appointment duration is 27 hours, and the appointment recurs 24 hours. This rule is applied in the same way when you set weekly, monthly, or yearly recurring appoints. If you press tab
(Space-4-5) after setting the recurring interval, the Set recurrence end date check box appears. By default, its unchecked, which indicates that there is no apparent end date when the recurrence will stop. If you check this box by pressing Space, and press tab (Space-4-5), the focus will move to the edit combo box that asks for the end date. Enter the date when the recurrence will stop. You can directly type the date, or you can set the date. Once you set the date, press tab (Space-4-5) to move to the Confirm button. 7.4.9.2 Weekly After you set the Recurrence to weekly, press tab (Space-4-5) to move to the Recurring interval edit box. Here you can set after how many weeks the appointment will recur. You can type a number between 1 and 999. If you set it to 1, the appointment will recur every week, and if you set it to 2, it will recur every other week. The restriction on the recurring interval as in Daily is applied to Weekly. If the recurring interval is one week, the appointment duration should be shorter than one week. Otherwise, you will get an error message, The appointment duration should be shorter than the recurring interval. If you press tab
(Space-4-5) after entering the recurring interval, the focus will move to a list box where you can select the day of the week on which the appointment recurs. You can move between the items in the list box, by pressing Space-1 or Space-4. To select or unselect the current item, press Space. You can make more than one selection. If you dont select any day, it will be set to the todays day of the week. Press tab
(Space-4-5) after selecting the days of the week when the appointments recurs. Then the focus will move to Set recurrence end date check box. 7.4.9.3 Monthly If you press tab (Space-4-5) after setting the Recurrence to monthly, the focus will move to the Recurring type combo box. Here, you can set the recurring type as Date or Day of the week. To move between the two options, you can use Space-1 or Space-4. Date is used when you want to set an appointment recurring on the same day of a month, for example, on the 17th of every month, or every other month. On the other hand, Day of the week is used when you want to set an appointment recurring on the same week and the day of the week of a month, for example, on Wednesday of the second week of every month. After selecting the Recurring type, press tab (Space-4-5) to move to the Recurring interval. In this field, you set after how many months the appointment will recur. You can type a number between 1 and 999. If you press tab (Space-4-5) after setting Recurring interval, different fields will be shown depending on what you have selected in Recurring type. If you set the Recurring type to Date, an edit box will be shown, where you can type the day of the month when the appointment recurs. By default the date set in the Start date is shown. You can type a number between 1 and 31. If you press tab (Space-4-5) after setting this, the focus will move to Set recurrence end date and you can set the date in the same way. If you have set the Recurring type to Day of the week, you will be asked the Recurring week first. You can set this to First week, Second week, Third week, Fourth week or Last week. This is for setting the week of a month when the appointment recurs. Here if you press tab (Space-4-5), the focus will move to a combo box where you can select the day of the week when the appointment recurs. Since you can select only one of the 7 days, the one shown currently is the selected day. If you press tab (Space-4-5) here, the focus will move to the Set recurrence end date check box, and you can set it. 7.4.9.4 Yearly If you set the Recurrence to Yearly, press tab (Space-4-5) to move to the Recurring type combo box. You can select either date or day of the week, and you can move between them by pressing Space-1 or Space-4. If you set the Recurring type to Date, you can set the month and the day of the month when the appointment recurs. If you set it to Day of the week, you can set the month, the week, and the day of the week when the appointment recurs every year. If you press tab
(Space-4-5) after setting Recurring type, the focus will move to the Month for recurrence combo box. You can select one of the 12 months by pressing Space-1 or Space-4. If you press tab (Space-4-5) here, the focus will move to different fields, depending on what you have set the Recurring type to. If you have set the Recurring type to Date, the focus moves to Day for recurrence edit box. You can type a number between 1 and 31 here. If you press tab (Space-4-5) here, the focus will move to Set recurrence end date check box, using the same way. If you have set the Recurring type to Day of the week, you have to set recurring week and Day of week for recurrence. 7.4.10 Confirm If you press Enter on the Confirm button, the appointment will be saved, and the Add Schedule dialog box will be closed. 7.4.11 Cancel If you press Enter on the Cancel button, the appointment information you entered will be discarded, and you will be asked to enter information about another appointment. You can also cancel the entry by pressing Space-e (dots 1-5). 7.5 Search Schedule Search schedule is used for searching Appointments that you have entered before. When you start Schedule manager, the Search Schedule dialog box will be opened. You can also open this dialog box when you are in the Add Schedule dialog box, by pressing Enter-s
(dots 2-3-4). Or you can open the menu by pressing Space-m (dots 1-
3-4), and press Enter on Search Schedule. There are two methods to search for the schedule; searching with subject and searching with date. With the searching with subject, you can find schedule with the keywords in the subject field. With the searching with date, you can find schedules with the specified date. In order to toggle the searching mode, press Space-m (dots 1-3-4) or F2 to call up the menu and move to Toggle Search Mode and press Enter. Or you can execute it by pressing Enter-f (dots 1-2-4) without calling up the menu. Every time you press Enter-f (dots 1-2-4), the Braille Sense U2 will say Search mode: Date or Search mode:
Subject, and the searching mode will be toggled. The latest searching mode will be saved when you will exit the Schedule manager. So if you execute the Schedule manager and search any schedule, the latest searching mode will be displayed. 7.5.1 Searching with date It searches the schedule with the date. If it is executed, the Braille Sense U2 will say Find date: (current date). If you just press Enter here, the appointments occurring today will be searched for. If you want to search for another date, you can type the date in the format mm/dd/yyyy, or use the move by date hotkeys. If you press Enter after entering the date, the appointments occurring on the day will be shown. If there is no appointment on that day, There is no schedule registered. will be announced. Otherwise, the first appointment on that day will be announced in the form of date, time, and subject. If the appointment lasts for more than one day, continuous schedule will be announced. If the appointment recurs, recurring schedule will be announced. If you registered more than one appointment for that day, you can move between the appointments on that day by pressing Space-1 or Space-4. If you want to move to the first appointment on a day, you can press Space-1-3, and if you want to move to the last appointment on the day, press Space-4-6. To move to the appointments on another day, press Space-2 or Space-5. Then, the previous/next appointment occurring within four months will be displayed. If you want to move to the first appointment registered in the schedule manager, press Space-1-2-3, and if you want to move to the last appointment registered in the schedule manager, press Space-4-5-
6. If you want to know more about a registered appointment, press Enter on the desired appointment item. Then, if you press Space-1 or Space-4, you can hear the start date, Start time, end date, End time, subject, and memo. 7.5.2 Searching with subject If it is executed, the Braille Sense U2 will say Search subject: Type in the keywords which you are searching. After you type in the keywords and press Enter, then all schedules with the keywords will be displayed. If you press Enter without typing in any word in Search subject: edit box, the Braille Sense U2 will display all schedules in your Braille Sense U2. In order to move to the next or previous schedule, press Space-4 or Space-1, respectively. Pressing Space-1-3 will move to the first item of the schedule list, and pressing Space-4-6 will move to the last item of the schedule list. For the recurring appointment and multiple day appointment, the Braille Sense U2 will show the schedules of the first day only, if you search the schedule with subject. For example, if you registered any appointment on January 1, 2007 and made it recur the first day of every month, the Braille Sense U2 will show this schedule on January 1, 2007 only when you search it with searching with subject. If you want to read the schedule in detail, you can press Enter at the schedule that you want to read in detail.

If you select This occurrence, you will make changes for the appointment of the day, but the recurring appointments on other days will not be changed. If you select The series, you will make changes for all the recurring appointments of the schedule. If you select Cancel, Modify Schedule dialog box will not be opened and go back to the previous status. You can select these values by pressing Space or Backspace. Press Enter to open the Modify Schedule dialog box. This dialog box contains the same controls as in the Add Schedule dialog box. The only difference is that each field has the value entered previously. You can make changes in these fields in the same way as described in 6.4. If you change a recurring schedule, all the instances of the schedule will be changed according to the new values. Once you finish modifying the schedule, the information shown in the find result list will be updated accordingly. 7.7 Deleting a Schedule If you want to delete a schedule, move to the schedule in the find result list.

In order to read web pages properly, the Web browser should classify each element, and notify the user with its information. When reading a web page by moving with Space-4 or Space-1, one element will be displayed on one line. The links and controls will be displayed with their respective symbols for the user to distinguish each element. There is a more detailed explanation of this feature within this section. 11.7.1 Moving Between Controls A control is a link, an edit box, a radio button, or a combo box. These same controls are found in Windows on a personal computer. Web pages also use various kinds of controls for user input. Each control has different purposes. Therefore, the user has to know exactly what type of control is being used. For example, in an edit box, the user enters a text string. In a combo box and list box, the user should select one of the items listed in the combo box or list box. The Braille Sense U2 Web browser uses symbols to identify what type of control is being used. In order to move from one control to another without reading the text in between controls, the Braille Sense U2 provides the following move to control methods:
1. Move to the previous control: Shift-tab (Space-1-2). This command moves to the nearest previous control from the current position. If there are no more previous controls, the warning sound will be played. 2. Move to the next control: Tab (Space-4-5) This command moves to the next control from the current position. If there are no more controls, the warning sound will be played. When you find controls in web pages, the Braille Sense U2 will show control symbols ahead of the contents of the control. The followings are a list of control symbols. Symbol LN LNV ANC EB MEB LB CB Control name Link Visited link Anchor Edit box Multi edit box List Box Combo box Radio button select SRB Radio button URB unselect SCHB Check box check Check box uncheck UCHB Button BT 1. Link: If you press Enter on link, you will move to the page that the link is referencing. 2. Visited link: It is the link that you visited last time. 3. Anchor: If you press Enter on anchor, you will move to the referenced part of the web page. 4. Edit box: You can start entering the text at the cursor position. After you finish entering the text, press Space-4 to move to the next item. If there is any text in the edit box, it will be spoken and displayed on the Braille display. 5. Multi edit box: This is similar to the edit box. It is an edit box that allows you to enter plural lines in one edit box. You can start a new line by pressing Enter. After you finish entering the text, press tab
(Space-4-5) in order to move to the next item. 6. List box, combo box: In order to change a selection in the combo box, press Backspace-Space-4 or Backspace-Space-1. You can move to the next item by pressing Space-4. Also it will renew a page automatically when you change combo box in combo box. 7. Radio button, check box: In order to select or cancel the selection, 8. Button: If you press Enter on a button, you will move to the press Enter. referenced page. 11.7.2 Moving to a Form A form is a page that has all of the controls, except the link control. The edit windows, buttons, and combo boxes are included in a form. When you navigate some web pages, if there are many links, it would be very cumbersome to navigate to a form because you would have to push too many tab or shift-tab keys to get to a form. In this case, you can use the moving to the form function. 1. Move to the previous form: Space-1-2-3-4-6 You can move to the previous form by pressing this key. If there are no previous forms, the Braille Sense U2 will play the warning sound. 2. Move to the next form: Space-1-3-4-5-6 You can move to the next form by pressing this key. If there are no more forms. The Braille Sense U2 will play the warning sound. If there are no forms on a web page, the Braille Sense U2 will say, no control. 11.7.3 Table At the beginning position of the table, the Braille Sense U2 shows the table number, and the number of rows and columns on the table. For example, there are two big tables (we call these upper level tables) on one web page. Each table has 3 sub tables (we call these lower level tables) with 3 rows and 2 columns on each. In this case, when the Braille Sense U2 shows the first sub table on the second big table, it displays table 2-1 3 rows, 2 columns. At the end of the sub table, the Braille Sense U2 will display table 2-1. If the table consists of only 1 row and 1 column, or empty space that has only border or background, such tables are not considered tables in the Braille Sense U2. The Braille Sense U2 provides a way to move table by table, and cell by cell, in order for the user to comprehend the structure of the table. In order to move cell by cell, the cell position and contents of the cell will be displayed. However, the position information will only be announced in voice. For example, if you have move to a cell that is positioned on the second row and third column, and the content of the cell is news, the Braille Sense U2 will announce, row 2 cell 3 news. In this case, row 2 cell 3 will be announced in voice only, while news will be displayed in Braille. If a table is included in the cell, the Braille Sense U2 will announce table cell. If there is not a table in the cell, you will hear empty cell. In the table cell, if you want to move to any cell within the lower level table, press Space-4 to move to the starting line of the lower level table. Moving by cell is only valid in the table. If this command is executed outside of the table, a warning sound will be played. 1. Move to the previous table: Space-3-4-5-6 It moves to the starting position of the previous table. If there are no previous tables, the warning sound will be played. 2. Move to the next table: Space-1-4-5-6 It moves to the starting position of the next table. If there are no more tables, the warning sound will be played. 3. Move to the previous cell: Space-2-3 It moves to the previous cell. If the current cell is the first cell, it will move to the starting line of the table. If this command is pressed on the starting line of the table, the warning sound will be played. 4. Move to next cell: Space-5-6 It moves to the next cell. If the current cell is the last cell, it moves to the end line of the table. If it is pressed on the end line of the table, the warning sound will be played. 5. Move to upper cell: Space-3-5 It moves to the cell in the previous row within the same column. If the current cell is on the first row, the warning sound will be played. 6. Move to lower cell: Space-2-6 It moves to the cell in the next line, within the same column. If the current cell is on the last row, the warning sound will be played. 7. Current cell: Space-2-3-5-6 It announces and displays the content of the current cell again. 8. Move to the previous cell in the upper level table: BackSpace-2-3 It moves to the previous cell from the current cell that contains the current table. If the current table cell is the first cell of the highest level table, it will show the starting line of the table. It does not work on the highest level table. 9. Move to the next cell of the upper level table: BackSpace-5-6 It moves to the next cell from the current cell that contains the current table. If the current table cell is the last cell in the highest level table, it moves to the end line of the table. It does not work on the highest level table. 10. Move to the upper cell of the upper level table: BackSpace-3-5 It moves to the previous row, within the same column, to the table cell that contains current table. If the cell that contains the current table is located on the first row of the upper level table, the warning sound will be played. It does not work on the highest level table. 11. Move to the lower cell of the upper level table: BackSpace-2-6 It moves to the next row, within the same column, to the table cell that contains the current table. If the table cell that contains current table is at the last row of the upper level table, the warning sound will be played. It does not work on the highest level table. 12. Check the position: Space-1-5-6 It announces the position of the current cell in the table. It shows the position in both Braille and voice, such as table 2-3 row 3, cell 4. 11.7.4 Move to the Frame 1. Move to the previous frame: Space-3-4-6 It moves to the starting position of the previous frame. If there are no previous frames, the warning sound will be played. 2. Move to the next frame: Space-1-4-6 It moves to the starting position of the next frame. If there are no more frames, the warning sound will be played. 11.7.5 Playback of Streaming Audio Files While you navigate any web page, if you come across a link for streaming audio file, you can simply press Enter on it. Then the Media player program will be launched or activated with lists of address inside of the streaming file and the streaming audio file on the first address will be played. The possible formats of streaming file are m3u, pls, asf, asx.

Bluetooth Manager The Braille Sense U2 is Bluetooth capable. Bluetooth is the latest in wireless technology that allows for a Personal Area Network (PAN). Unlike a traditional Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), these networks are limited to approximately 30 feet or less. Bluetooth enables users to exchange various types of information. In order to use Bluetooth with the Braille Sense U2, you must change the Bluetooth option to On in the option menu. Bluetooth on the Braille Sense U2 allows you to transfer files from the Braille Sense U2 to a computer, use the Internet connection your computer is using, or use the Braille Sense U2 as a wireless Braille display. To use the Braille Sense U2 as a wireless Braille display, you must be running the screen readers; Window-Eyes, Supernova or JAWS. Please note that Bluetooth is currently an evolving standard, and you may experience different functionality, depending on the operating system that you are using. The Braille Sense U2 uses the built-in Bluetooth manager program to allow the user to use the Bluetooth functionality in the Braille Sense U2. You can access the Bluetooth manager in several ways. To access Bluetooth manager from the program menu, you can either press Space-1 or Space-4 until you hear Bluetooth manager, or press Space until you get to Bluetooth manager. When you hear Bluetooth manager, press Enter to activate it. Or, you can press l (dots 1-2-3) to open the Bluetooth manager from the program menu without having to press Enter on it. 13.1 Bluetooth Device List After the Bluetooth manager has been activated, it will begin scanning for other Bluetooth devices that are in range, and for the services available from the other Bluetooth devices. For example, if you have a computer with Bluetooth enabled nearby, then the Braille Sense U2 will attempt to find it. It may take a while to find all of the Bluetooth devices in range, so expect to wait about 30 to 40 seconds for this process to complete. You will hear Scanning for devices. Please wait message and beep sound when this process begins. And when the Bluetooth device is detected, the Braille Sense U2 announces find (Bluetooth device name). Until the end of scanning all devices, any keys on the Braille Sense U2 will not work, and you cannot stop scanning the device. You have to wait until the completion of the scanning devices. If Bluetooth option in Option menu set to Off, or if the Braille Sense U2 does not recognize it, the Braille Sense U2 will say the message, Bluetooth not activated. Then, the Braille Sense U2 will automatically exit the Bluetooth Manager. Once the Braille Sense U2 has found other Bluetooth devices that are in range, they will be displayed as device name (untrusted (or trusted)) xx/yy where xx is the number where the device appears in the list, and yy is the total number of devices. And trusted means that the service has been authenticated, and untrusted means that the service has not been authenticated. This part of the Bluetooth Manager is known as the Bluetooth Device List, and thus, the menu for this section is called the Bluetooth Device List menu. If there are no other Bluetooth devices in range, the Braille Sense U2 will say no items. You can press Space-1 or Space-4 to move through the list. To select the device from the list, press Enter on the device name. If the Bluetooth device trusted, the device setting will be automatically saved in the memory of the Braille Sense U2. If you want to delete this setting, you press Space-d (dots 1-4-5) on Bluetooth device name in the Bluetooth Device List. The Braille Sense U2 will say Device settings removed. Removing this setting will apply only to the current device. Once the Braille Sense U2 has finished searching for other Bluetooth devices, you can access the menu by pressing Space-m (dots 1-3-4) or by pressing F2. The Bluetooth Device List menu has the Rescan For Devices, Device Name, Delete Pair Information, and Exit. You can navigate the menu items with Space-1 or Space-4. The first menu item is Rescan For Device. This item allows you to rescan for other Bluetooth devices. To activate this item, press Space-
m (dots 1-3-4) for F2 and then press Enter on Rescan For Device. You can also access this option by pressing r (dots 1-2-3-5) while you are in the Bluetooth Device List menu, or you can activate it directly without calling up the menu by pressing Enter-r (dots 1-2-3-5). You can access the next item in the menu by pressing Space-m (dots 1-3-4) and then Space-1 or Space-4 until you get to Device Name, and press Enter. You can also press n (dots 1-3-4-5) while you are in the Bluetooth Device List menu to activate Device Name. This item allows you to give the Braille Sense U2 a specific name. The default name for the Bluetooth device name is BrailleSensePLUS. You can activate this item by pressing Enter on it, or you can access it without calling up the menu by pressing Enter-n (dots 1-3-4-5). After you activate this item, you will find a computer edit box that contains your current device name. To modify the name, type the new name and then press Enter. Once you have entered the new name, you should close all programs and reset the Braille Sense U2 by pressing the reset button with your finger on the rear panel. To cancel your changes, press Space-e (dots 1-5) or F4. You will then be returned to the Bluetooth Device List. The next menu item is Delete Pair Information. This item allows you to remove the device setting. To activate this item, press Space-m (dots 1-
3-4) for F2 and then press Enter on Delete Pair Information. You can also access this option by pressing d (dots 1-4-5) while you are in the Bluetooth Device List menu, or you can activate it directly without calling up the menu by pressing Space-d (dots 1-4-5). The next item in the Bluetooth Device List menu is the Exit item. This item will exit the Bluetooth manager program. To activate this item, press Space-m (dots 1-3-4) and then press Space-1 or Space-4 to navigate to Exit. Then, press Enter on Exit. You can also access the item while in the menu by pressing z (dots 1-3-5-6) while you are in the Bluetooth Device List menu or at any time without calling up the menu by pressing Space-z (dots 1-3-5-6). 13.2 Bluetooth Service List Once you know which remote Bluetooth device you want to connect to, press Space-1 or Space-4 to navigate to the device you want to connect to in the Bluetooth Device List, and then press Enter on the device name. You will then hear, Scanning for service. Please wait Please note that no keys will work during scanning the devices. The Braille Sense U2 will begin scanning services that are available from the remote Bluetooth device. The Braille Sense U2 supports the services:
LAN, FTP, ActiveSync, Serial port, Headset and Bluetooth DUN. In order to access all of these functions, you must make sure that the remote Bluetooth device is in Discoverable mode, and that all services are enabled. It is possible to have certain services enabled on your remote Bluetooth device, while having other services that are disabled. For example, you could have LAN and FTP enabled, while having ActiveSync and Serial Port disabled. If this is the case, then the Braille Sense U2 will only display LAN and FTP. Once the Braille Sense U2 has found all of the available services, it will display the services in a list in the following format: service name xx/yy where xx is the number of the service that you are on, and yy is the number of total available services. You can move through the available services by pressing Space-1 or Space-4. You can press Backspace to return to the Bluetooth Device List. Once the Braille Sense U2 has finished searching service, you can access the menu by pressing Space-m (dots 1-3-4) or by pressing F2. The Bluetooth Service List menu has the Device Name, Open FTP, Disconnect and Exit. You can navigate the menu items with Space-1 or Space-4. How to use Device Name and Exit in the Bluetooth Service List menu are the same as how to use them in the Bluetooth Device List menu. The Open FTP menu item allows you to open a direct FTP connection with a remote Bluetooth device without having to select the device and then the service. However, you must have connected the service first before the Braille Sense U2 will allow you to transfer files. If you have not connected the FTP service already, and you activate this function, you will hear, FTP service disconnected. You can access Open FTP by pressing Space-m (dots 1-3-4) and then Space-1 or Space-4 to navigate to Open FTP. Once you are at Open FTP, press Enter to activate it, and the Braille Sense U2 will say, Connecting service. You can also activate it by pressing t (dots 2-3-4-5) while you are in the Bluetooth Device List menu, or by pressing Enter-t (dots 2-3-4-5) without calling up the menu. This chapter will cover connecting various Bluetooth services later in more detail. The Disconnect menu item will allow you to disconnect services that are connected to other Bluetooth devices. You can access this item by pressing Space-m (dots 1-3-4) and then Space-1 or Space-4. Then, press Enter to activate it. You can also activate this item while you are in the Bluetooth Service List menu by pressing d (dots 1-4-5), or you can activate it without calling up the menu by pressing Enter-d (dots 1-
4-5). In order to disconnect any service, press Space-1 or Space-4 at the Bluetooth Service List to move to the service that you want to disconnect, and execute the Disconnect command. You can disconnect the currently focused service only. This means that you can disconnect only one service at one time. You cannot disconnect plural services at once. If there are no services connected to other Bluetooth devices, and you activate this function, you will hear, There is no service connected. 13.2.1 Connecting Service To authenticate a service and connect to it, press Enter on the service. Once you have pressed Enter on the service, you will hear Connecting service. Then, you will hear PIN code: You must use ASCII characters when you type in this edit box. On the Braille display, you will see PIN code: This edit box will only appear when you have pressed enter on a service that not say Connected after the service name. You can exit the edit box or cancel any text you have typed in by pressing Space-z
(dots 1-3-5-6). You will then be returned to the Bluetooth Service List. If you have typed in a pin code, and have pressed Enter, you will hear, Please wait for authentication. If the remote device is setup correctly, and has not been set up to allow this device to always connect, then the remote device will ask for a pin code. If the remote Bluetooth device pin code matches the pin code that was typed in the Braille Sense U2, then the service will authenticate. If this occurs, you will hear, PIN code authentication accepted. Then, while the service connects, you will hear, Please wait. Access permission. If the remote Bluetooth device does not give access permission, then you will hear, Connection failed, and you will be returned to the Bluetooth Services List. If the remote Bluetooth device gives you access permission, then the Braille Sense U2 will say Connection succeeded. If the connection succeeds, then you will see Connected after the services that have successfully connected. Some of the service may be connected without inputting pin code depending on the Remote Bluetooth device settings. After you have connected to a service, you can press Enter-d (dots 1-4-
5) to disconnect the service, and the Braille Sense U2 will say Service disconnected. You will then be returned to the Bluetooth Service List. If you disconnect a service, Connected will disappear from the Bluetooth Service List. If you connect to the FTP service, you will see a list of files and folders that are on the remote Bluetooth device. The rest of this chapter will discuss each service in detail. 13.2.2 LAN Service With the LAN service, you can connect to the Internet through your computer. If you connect this service, you can use the Web browser and email program, just like if you were connected to the Internet via a dial-
up modem or wireless LAN card. However, you must setup Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) on your remote Bluetooth device. Without ICS properly setup, you will not be able to connect to the Internet using the LAN service. For information on how to setup ICS for your remote Bluetooth device, please refer to the documentation that came with your Bluetooth adapter. Setting up ICS requires knowledge of network architecture, so it may be a good idea to contact a local network technician or your network administrator for help to set up ICS. 13.2.3 FTP Service This service will work similar to using FTP on the Internet. It will allow you to transfer folders and files to and from the Braille Sense U2 between it and the remote Bluetooth device. When referring to the FTP service, we will refer to the file/folder list in the remote Bluetooth device as remote folder list and the file/folder list of the Braille Sense U2 as the local folder list. After you have successfully connected to the FTP service, the Bluetooth Manager will take you to the remote folder list. The remote folder list that you are taken to is determined by the remote Bluetooth device. Typically, this folder is called the Bluetooth Exchange Folder on the remote Bluetooth device, but you should check your remote Bluetooth device for information on this folder. The remote folder list is very similar to the File Manager. With the FTP service, you can perform the following functions:
1. 2. 3. 4. Copy Paste Send To Retrieve File 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. New Folder Delete File/Folder Open Local Folder. If you press Enter on this, you will be taken to the local folder list. If you are in the local folder list, this menu will be changed to move remote folder. Select All Information In the next few sections, we will discuss the various FTP functions. Please note that while sending data to and from the remote Bluetooth device, the remote Bluetooth device may still need to give access permission to the Braille Sense U2. Please consult the documentation for the remote Bluetooth device for details. 13.2.3.1 Copy and Paste These functions will allow you to copy and paste files between the local folder and the remote folder. You can use the following steps to move files from a local folder to the remote folder:

You can also press o (dots 1-3-5) while in the menu, or you can press Enter-o (dots 1-3-5) without having to call up the menu. After activating this function, you will hear, Open Local Folder. Then, you will be taken to the Disk list that appears in file manager. You will be taken to flashdisk by default, but if you have a SD card or USB memory stick inserted, you can navigate to them by pressing Space-1 or Space-4. 2) Just like navigating in the File manager, you can access a disk by pressing Enter on it. Use the exact same navigation keys as the File manager to navigate the local folder. Note that you cannot select folders. You can only select files. If you try to select a folder, the Braille Sense U2 will say Deactivated. 3) Once you have selected files by pressing the Space, you can copy them by pressing Space-m (dots 1-3-4) or F2, and then navigate to Copy by pressing Space-1 or Space-4, and press Enter. Or, you can press Enter-c (dots 1-4) to activate the function without calling up the menu. 4) After you have activated the copy function, you will hear, Copying and then Open Remote Folder. You will then be moved to the remote folder list. 5) In the remote folder list, you can navigate to the folder where you want to paste the file. Once you are in the folder where you want to paste the file, press Enter-v (dots 1-2-3-6). Or, you can press Space-m (dots 1-3-4), and then use Space-1 or Space-
4 to get to the Paste function, and press Enter. If the file is larger than 300 KB, you will also hear the progress meter each time an additional 10% has been completed. If the file is less than 300 KB, then you will only hear the sound, and not the progress meter. 6) When the file has been pasted successfully, you will see the message, xxx file pasted, where xxx is the name of the file. If the file is not pasted successfully, you will hear, xxx file not pasted. After the file is pasted successfully, you will also hear, Paste completed, and you will be returned to the remote folder list. The following steps should be used to copy a file from the remote folder list to the local folder list:
1) After the FTP service has connected, you can navigate through the remote folder, just like in the file manager. If you need to reference the navigation keys for the File manager, please refer to chapter 3 in this manual. 2) Once you have selected the files that you want to copy by pressing the Space, you can open the FTP menu by pressing Space-m (dots 1-3-4), and then use Space-1 or Space-4 to navigate to Copy, and press Enter.

Database Manager The Database manager is a program that can be used to create a database in the form that you specify. You can use the Database manager to add records and search for data in your records. A table contains at least one record, and a record consists of at least one field. You can specify attributes for each of the fields. In other words, a record is made up of a group of one or more fields. When the Database manager is started, it will check whether or not a table has been registered or created already. If no table has been registered yet, a Table Manager dialog box will appear to help you to register a new table. If there is at least one table already registered, a Search Records dialog box will appear and the Search edit box will be focused, so that you can search for data records in the tables. If you want to close the program while you are adding or searching a table, press Space-z (dots 1-3-5-6). Or you can use the menu. Press Space-
