Your BraillePen12 at a glance

xploring the BraillePen12

Your BraillePen12 has a 6-dot Braille keyboard, with the keys from left to ri ht: dot 3, dot

2, dot 1, dot 4, dot 5, dot 6. Below the Braille keys there are three function keys,

from left to ri ht: shift, space and control. In the centre of the keyboard area, between

the Braille keys and the function keys there is a joystick with 5 directions of movement: left,

ri ht, up, down (towards you) and enter, which is activated by pressin the joystick towards

the keyboard until it clicks.

Below the keyboard area is the Braille area. In the centre of the Braille area you will find the

12-cell refreshable Braille display, with one round Braille navi ation key either side of the

display. These keys are known as left pan and right pan, or left nav and right

nav.

On the rear ed e, the connector for the battery char er is situated at the ri ht-hand side; on

each side towards the front are two loops for attachin the lanyard.

To use the BraillePen12 pouch, open the pouch and locate the velcro patches inside. This is

the base of the pouch; place your BraillePen12 on these, keys uppermost, so that the velcro

dots on the base of the BraillePen12 attach to the velcro patches on the pouch. Close the

pouch snu ly with the velcro strip.

Switching BraillePen12 on and off

Switch your BraillePen12 on by pressin the followin keys simultaneously: space, dot 1

and dot 3.

When the BraillePen12 is on, the display will show braillepen12

Use the same key combination to switch the unit off. You will hear beeps to tell you whether

you have switched off or on.

Illustration 1: The BraillePen12, with all features la elled.

BraillePen12 sound signals

BraillePen12 communicates its status usin hi h-pitched beeps. When you first turn your

BraillePen12 on, it ive several beeps.

First you hear a sin le short beep to let you know that the BraillePen12 is on.

Then you hear a set of beeps to tell you the battery status.

The third set of beeps tells you that the BraillePen12's Bluetooth interface is active and can

make a connection with another device.

The sound for "BraillePen12 on" and the sound for "Bluetooth active" don't chan e; the

battery sounds will chan e dependin on how much char e there is. Here is the full list of

battery status beeps:

One lon beep, pause, three short beeps means that the unit is not connected to the power

and the battery is fully char ed.

One lon beep, pause, two short beeps means that the unit is not connected to the power,

and the battery is char ed to half its capacity.

One lon beep, pause, one lon beep means that the unit is not connected to the power, and

that the battery is drained and needs to be rechar ed immediately.

Two mid-len th beeps means that the unit is connected to power and the battery is char in ,

but doesn't report on the state of the battery.

Two mid-len th beeps, pause, three short beeps means that the unit is on char e, and the

battery is already fully char ed.

Connecting the BraillePen12

Before switchin your BraillePen12 on, make sure you first turn on the device you want to

connect to. When your device is on, then turn the BraillePen12 on by pressin space and

dots 1 and 3 to ether.

Sometimes the connection can take up to 20 seconds to complete, after both devices have

been switched on. Listen for the triple-beep that tells you BraillePen12's Bluetooth interface is

active, and allow up to 20 seconds from there.

If you are connectin to a PC or netbook for the first time, you will need to discover the

BraillePen12 as a Bluetooth device. Once discovered, the connection will be made

automatically every time after that.

If your BraillePen12's battery is ettin a little low, you mi ht notice that it's more difficult to

connect to other devices, or to stay connected. Rechar e the battery, and then consult the

Care and Resources section of this manual to find out how to reset your BraillePen12.

Bluetooth Adapter Types

BraillePen12 is compatible with four adaptor types: WIDCOMM, Toshiba, Microsoft and

BlueSoleil. The instructions here apply to those Bluetooth adapters usin the Microsoft

Bluetooth drivers. If your Bluetooth doesn't work as described, check in the Care and

Resources section for connection information for other Bluetooth discovery methods.

Under Windows XP

First turn on your BraillePen12, and wait for the triple-beep. Next o to the Control Panel and

choose Bluetooth. Select Add a Device and wait while Windows discovers the device.

The MAC address of the BraillePen12, a series of letters and numbers be innin with BP, will

appear in the window; there could also be other devices such as other computers or phones.

You should select the BraillePen12's identifier as your device and click Next.

You will be asked whether you want to enter a pairin code or allow the device to pair without

a code. We su est pairin without a code if you are pairin for the first time; you can

remove the BraillePen12 from the list of devices and pair a ain with a code later if you wish.

Once you have chosen and clicked Next, the BraillePen12 and your computer will be paired.

Under Windows Vista or Windows 7

First, turn on your BraillePen12 and wait for the triple-beep.

Go to Control Panel and select Devices and Printers. Choose Add a Device.

So lon as you have Bluetooth on the computer and your BraillePen12's Bluetooth is active,

the MAC address of your BraillePen12 will appear in the window. Select this and click Next.

You will then have three choices; enter a code you already know, have Windows assi n a

code, or pair without a code.

Navigating using BraillePen12

Usin your BraillePen12 to navi ate is made easier with the use of the Joystick.

We have used these conventions for namin the keystrokes:

joystick left Push the joystick horizontally, so it bends towards the left

joystick right Push the joystick horizontally, so it bends towards the ri ht

joystick up Push the joystick horizontally, so it bends away from you

joystick down Push the joystick horizontally, so it bends towards you

joystick enter Push the joystick, with your fin er on the top, strai ht down towards

the BraillePen12.

These keystrokes perform the followin actions:

joystick left Move the cursor left one character or one tab or menu item

joystick right Move the cursor ri ht one character or one tab or menu item

joystick up Move the cursor up one line or one menu item

joystick down Move the cursor down one line or one menu item

joystick enter Enter: confirm or activate a selection.

In some software you will use, joystick enter can't be used to end a para raph in text;

for that keystroke you mi ht need to use the keyboard-based Enter, which is usually space

+ control. Check the keystrokes for your software to make sure.

Moving the Cursor in your Applications

Because BraillePen12 is so compact, we haven't provided Cursor Routin buttons. The

requirements for cursor movement vary between the applications you will use, on your

phone, PDA or PC, but we have included some cursor movement and text selection

keystrokes to et you started.

To move the cursor in text, you will usually find that these keystrokes will work:

control + dot 1 Left

control + dot 4 Ri ht

control + dot 5 Up

control + dot 2 Down

These keystrokes have the same effect in BraillePen Write, for instance, as if you used the

Joystick to move the cursor.

To move word by word, press control while you move the Joystick: control + joystick

left will move the cursor one word to the left, while control + joystick right will

move the cursor one word to the ri ht.

To select text, press shift + control + joystick right to select from the cursor to

the end of the word.

Always check the keystrokes for your application to make sure.

Using BraillePen12 with Apple iDevices

To pair your BraillePen12 with your iDevice:

You will only need to perform this exercise once; once paired, unless you reset your iDevice,

it will know about your BraillePen 12 indefinitely.

On the iDevice, in Settin s, General, pa e down to accessibility, then o to VoiceOver and

then down to Braille.

Switch on the BraillePen 12 usin space + dots 1,3.

Once you hear the triple-beep on the BraillePen 12, it will appear in the list of Braille devices

to choose from; its name will be in with EL12 in the list of discovered devices. Sin le-tap the

device name to select it; double-tap the device name to initiate the pairin .

You will be taken to a passcode entry screen; enter the passcode 1234. Use a sin le tap to

select each di it and then a double-tap to enter it. Then sin le-tap Pair to select it and

double-tap to activate. It is important to enter the passcode and complete the process within

the short time allowed.

You will hear a sin le beep to tell you that BraillePen 12 is now connected to the iDevice.

If you don't complete the process quickly enou h, the iDevice may come back to you and tell

you that pairin failed; sometimes, after this has happened, the iDevice can't find the

BraillePen 12. In this case you need to o to Settin s, General, Reset and choose Reset all

Settin s. Then you can start the pairin process from the be innin .

When usin a BraillePen12 with VoiceOver usin iOS 4.1 or later, you can use the followin

key commands, or chords, to navi ate.

iDevices Affected:

iPod touch (3rd eneration), iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS (8GB), iPod touch (4th eneration),
