I  Safety Precaution  1.  The input voltage of the AC adapter is 100V - 240V, and the output is DC 5V / 2A.  2.  When the Braille Sense OnHand 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 OnHand, you should make sure the battery is fully charged. When you use the Braille Sense OnHand 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 OnHand from has already done this for you.  3.  When you use the Braille Sense OnHand with the battery for the first time, the battery status may not be displayed accurately. In order to avoid this, connect the Braille Sense OnHand to the AC adapter for about three hours with turn on. If you want to use the Braille Sense OnHand immediately after opening the box, you will need to connect the AC adapter to the unit for more than three 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 switch is turned off.  5.  When you are using the Braille Sense OnHand 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 battery’s 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 OnHand will shut down one minute after the announcement of the battery’s status. The amount of
II  battery life per charge will vary depending on the options you have set.  6.  Your Braille Sense OnHand needs to be handled with care. The Braille Sense OnHand is a very delicate machine. You should make sure to handle the unit in a proper manner. Also, the Braille Sense OnHand is very sensitive to dust. Make sure to keep the Braille Sense OnHand 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 OnHand from for support.  8.  You will need to register your Braille Sense OnHand in order to ensure further maintenance, service, and upgrade information. Please visit www.himsintl.com, to register your information. If you have any trouble when registering your information, please contact the dealer whom you purchased your Braille Sense OnHand product from for help.  9.  Do not take apart the Braille Sense OnHand by yourself. Do not have anyone else who is not authorized by HIMS take apart the Braille Sense OnHand. If an unqualified person disassembles the unit, serious damage may occur to the Braille Sense OnHand. If an unauthorized person disassembles the Braille Sense OnHand, 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 OnHand remain for a long time at the closed or high temperature places like inside of car, the battery attached to the Braille Sense OnHand may be defected or fired. So please don’t keep your Braille Sense OnHand at those places.

VI   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 the “space bar” 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 OnHand, 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.    You will want to read section 2.2 to help you understand basic concepts of menus.  It is very important that you completely understand concepts such as this, so that you are able to use the Braille Sense OnHand to its fullest potential.

You can use the Database Manager to create your own Database for keeping and storing important information. 18.  You can use MSN messenger to communicate in real time, with others who are running the MSN messenger program. 19.  The sighted person who is learning Braille for the first time can use the LCD screen on the Braille Sense OnHand, to easily learn Braille.    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 OnHand. (LCD is an external type which needs to be connected to Braille Sense OnHand)  1.2 Hardware  In order to get the most out of your Braille Sense OnHand, you will want to become familiar with the Braille Sense OnHand 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 OnHand.    The dimensions of the Braille Sense OnHand are 6.7 inches long by 3.5 inches wide by 1.1 inches high.    On the bottom of the unit, there are rubber feet in order to prevent slipping while you are using the Braille Sense OnHand.    The input keys are Perkins-style, which consist of seven keys that represent dot one through dot six, and the space. In addition to these seven keys, there are two function keys that correspond to the Backspace and Enter keys.    Also there are 18 cells that make up the Braille display.
3   The first thing you should do is place the Braille Sense OnHand on a level surface that you can use to examine the Braille Sense OnHand, such as a table or desk.    When the Braille Sense OnHand is placed on a level surface, the shape of the entire unit will resemble a small, thin rectangular box.    The Braille Sense OnHand 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 OnHand.    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 OnHand is sitting on is called the bottom panel.  This section of the manual describes each side of the Braille Sense OnHand 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  1.2.1.1 Braille Display and Cursor key  Starting with the top of the Braille Sense OnHand, you will find a Braille display that is located close to the front panel on the Braille Sense OnHand.  Above the Braille display, there are 18 small buttons that correspond to 18 Braille cells.    These 18 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.  1.2.1.2 Scroll button  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
4  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 18 Braille cells, the scroll buttons will scroll the Braille display.  1.2.1.3 Function key  Above the cursor routing keys, are four rectangular shaped buttons.   The space is located between these four rectangular shaped buttons.   Two of the rectangular shaped buttons are located on the left side of the space and the other two are located on the right of the space.    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.  1.2.1.4 Keyboard of Perkins-style  Above the function keys, you will find the Braille keys that are Perkins-style, including the space.    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 space, also called the Space.  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
5  dot three.    The button on which your left pinky finger is placed on is the Backspace.  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 space.  1.2.1.5 Speaker  Speaker is located in the center of Braille Sense OnHand.  1.2.2 Right Side Panel  Next, let's discuss the right side panel of the Braille Sense OnHand.      1.2.2.1 Earphone jack and Microphone jack  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 OnHand on the right side panel, you will find the internal microphone, earphone jack and microphone jack.  1.2.2.2 SD slot  Continuing toward the back of the unit on the right side panel, you will find the SD Slot. You can connect a SD memory in this SD Slot, for auxiliary storage.  1.2.3 Left Side Panel  Now, let's take a look at the left side panel of the unit.
6  1.2.3.1 Key lock mode switch  You will find the key lock mode switch. This switch will be explained in more detail in the next section.  1.2.3.2 USB OTG  Continuing toward the back of the unit on the left side panel, you will find the USB OTG. If you connect the unit to a personal computer by using this USB OTG, you can transfer files that are stored in the Braille Sense OnHand to your personal computer, and vice versa.      1.2.3.3 AC adapter jack  The last thing you will find on the left 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 OnHand with electricity, instead of using power from the battery.  1.2.4 Rear Panel  Next, let's take a look at the rear panel of the Braille Sense OnHand.    1.2.4.1 Reset button  On the far Right 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 the 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 OnHand will turn on without speech.
7  When the reset button is pressed, the Braille Sense OnHand will reboot.   It will take about fifteen seconds for your unit to complete the reboot process.  1.2.4.2 Battery Hole  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 OnHand 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, let’s take a look at the front panel of the Braille Sense OnHand.      1.2.5.1 Audio Mode Switch  On the far left of the front panel, you will find a slide switch. This slide switch is the audio mode switch.    This switch will be explained in more detail in the next section.  1.2.5.2 Media Button  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.    1.2.5.3 Power Switch  To the right of the five buttons is on/off switch. It is one-way switch so
8  when you turn on and off the device, push switch to the right side.  Congratulations!    You are now familiar with the very basic functions of the buttons and ports that are located on the Braille Sense OnHand.   The rest of the manual will discuss each function in greater detail to allow you to maximize the potential of your Braille Sense OnHand.  1.3 Hardware Specifications of the Braille Sense OnHand  1.

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 OnHand reboots for any reason, the data in the RAM will disappear.    However, the data in flash
9  memory will not disappear, even if your battery goes dead, or if your unit reboots.  Now that you know what the Braille Sense OnHand is, move on to the next section to learn more about the basic functions of the Braille Sense OnHand.
10  2. Basic Functions of the Braille Sense OnHand  2.1 How to Use the Commands  All of the commands that you will use on the Braille Sense OnHand 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 the “space bar” 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 the “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 OnHand, schedule Manager, you will be notified of your appointments by the Braille Sense OnHand 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 “today’s schedule” when you turn on the Braille Sense OnHand, you should turn off the “Check today’s schedule” option which will be explained in section 3.35. Please refer to section 3.35 in this user manual for more information on this option.  If you turn off the Braille Sense OnHand while another program is opened, and then you turn it on again, the Braille Sense OnHand will tell
11  you the name of the program that was running on the Braille Sense OnHand when you turned it off. If you turn off the Braille Sense OnHand 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 OnHand, the Braille Sense OnHand will speak the message “AC adapter connected”. When you disconnect it from the Braille Sense OnHand, the Braille Sense OnHand will say, “AC adaptor disconnected”.  2.2 Concept of the Menu  The menu on the Braille Sense OnHand 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 OnHand 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 OnHand 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
12  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 OnHand; 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 OnHand 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 OnHand 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 OnHand will also speak the message, “common dialog”.  Let’s begin going through the various menus.    First, turn the unit on by
13  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 OnHand.    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, msn messenger, database manager, 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 OnHand will say “Help”, as the help menu is displayed.    Then, press “Space-1-2-3”, and the Braille Sense OnHand 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 OnHand  The Braille Sense OnHand 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 “After”.    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 of the menu name or item name.   For example, you might see something like, “MN File (f) pull down”.
14  The following table shows the names and the symbols of the control symbols that are displayed in front and back of menu names.  Name Symbol Comments Menu  MN  It means the menu that has submenus. Menu item  MI  It means the menu that does not have a submenu. List item  LI  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) Edit box  EB  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)”   Multi edit box  MEB  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) Computer edit box  CE  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.
15  (Ex: “CE To: (cursor) “ in the email program) Combo box  CB  It represents the combo box in 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) Edit combo box  ECB  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) Prompt button  PB  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”) Static box  ST  ST is followed by the current status. (Ex:  “ST noname.hbl/insert mode/write” in the word processor program) Link  LN  It means there is a link in the web page. Anchor  ANC  It means there is an anchor in the web page. Radio button  RB  It represents a radio button, which allows you to choose an item by pressing the up scroll
16  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) Radio button select SRB  It means that the radio button is selected in the web browser Radio button unselect URB  It means that the radio button is not selected in the web browser. Check box check  SCHB  It means that the check box is selected. Check box uncheck UCHB  It means that the check box is not selected.  Links, anchors, and check boxes 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 OnHand.    When using the Braille Sense OnHand, 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 OnHand, the “F1” key will open the Braille Sense OnHand “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 OnHand.    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,
17  “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 2.9, entitled, “Multi-Tasking”.  2.4 The AC Power Supply and the Battery Pack for the Braille Sense OnHand  It is very useful to know what the remaining battery power when the Braille Sense OnHand is being operated only on battery power.  If the remaining battery power is not sufficient, the Braille Sense OnHand 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 OnHand 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 or AC supply)  The battery power level represents the percentage of the remaining
18  battery power.    The power source indicates whether power is coming from the battery or the AC power supply.  If the battery power level drops under 15 percent, the Braille Sense OnHand 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 OnHand will give you a warning indicating that your battery power level is under five percent, and the Braille Sense OnHand will be automatically turned off in one minute, unless you connect the Braille Sense OnHand to an AC power supply.  Let’s explore the detachable battery pack.    When the Braille Sense OnHand is shipped, you will find the battery pack is not installed in the Braille Sense OnHand.    This is done to prevent damage during shipping.    When you insert this battery pack in to the Braille Sense OnHand for the first time, the unit may display an inaccurate battery power level.    Before using the Braille Sense OnHand for the first time, please charge the battery for three 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 three hours in order to fully charge the battery.   When you remove the battery from the Braille Sense OnHand, 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 OnHand hooked up to the AC 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 OnHand must be connected to an AC 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 OnHand is similar to a big bookshelf in a library.    The piece of hardware in the Braille Sense OnHand 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
19  books into categories.    Each category can be compared to what are called “folders” on the Braille Sense OnHand.    The books in each section can be compared to what are called “files” on the Braille Sense OnHand.    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 OnHand is shipped from the factory, the name of the flash memory in the Braille Sense OnHand 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 USB stick memory through a USB OTG, or a Secure Digital memory card in the SD slot. The default name of the SD card is “SD”. 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, Rate, and the Pitch of Speech  You can change the volume, rate, and pitch of speech used on the Braille Sense OnHand.    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 rate, you can press “Space-F4” to make the reading rate faster.    Press “Space-F1” to make the reading rate slower.    In order to make changes in pitch, press “Enter-F4” for a higher pitch and “Enter-F1” for a lower pitch.    When any of the above combination keys are pressed, the Braille Sense OnHand 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.  These changes can also be made in the “Global options” settings.    Please refer to sections 3.14, 3.15, and 3.16 in this user manual.
20  2.6.1 Control the volume and speed in Media player  You can control the volume and speed in media player. 1.  Volume up: Space-Up scroll button 2.  Volume down: Space-Down scroll button 3.  Rate up: Dots 3-4-5 4.  Rate down: Dots 1-2-6  Note: These controls can be adjusted only Media volume and speed that means it doesn't affect the master volume and speed.  2.7 How to use the Voice and the Braille display  When using the Braille Sense OnHand, 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 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 OnHand, 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 the “Space-u (dots 1-3-6)” and press the “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 press the “Space-u (dots 1-3-6)” and
21  press the “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

For example, you can work with the word processor while you are listening to music, and you can put
24  calculations into a document at the same time.    This is called a Braille Sense OnHand 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 the “F1” key to open the Braille Sense OnHand menu and run the word processor.  The Braille Sense OnHand 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 5, 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 the “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 OnHand with the “Space-1” or the “Space-4” and scroll buttons.    Press the “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
25  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 OnHand “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 OnHand 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 OnHand 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 OnHand 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 radio program. 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 OnHand by using Key Lock switch on the left panel. If the key lock switch put on left, Braille Sense OnHand will say “all keys locked”.    In this case, you can’t use the all keys including the on/off
26  switch. If the key lock switch put on center, Braille Sense OnHand 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 right, Braille Sense OnHand 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 OnHand has a print spool function.    This function enables the Braille Sense OnHand 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, let’s 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
27  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 OnHand 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”.

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 18-item group:    Page up (space 1-2-6 or F1-F2) 7.  Move to the next 18-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
58  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 the “Space” on the item.      When the “Select All” command is given, the Braille Sense OnHand 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 OnHand 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
59  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.    For more information on the name of the disks, refer to section 2.5.  4.2.2 Getting in and Out of a Folder (Opening/Closing a Folder)  1.  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)  Without calling the “menu”, you can also press “Enter-o (dots 1-3-5)” to open a desired folder. 3)  Another way to open a selected folder is by just pressing “Enter” on the folder that is selected. 2.  To close the current folder, you can use the “Backspace” key. Then, you will be at the next upper level folder list.  4.2.3 Opening a File  You can open a file by pressing “Enter” on the item that is displayed.   You can also use “Enter-o (dots 1-3-5)” to open a file or folder.    The Braille Sense OnHand will load the appropriate application or program to open the file you have chosen.  Another way of opening a file is using the menu.    You can press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2” to call up the “menu”.    Then, press the letter “o (dots 1-3-5)”, or you can press “Enter” on the item named “Open”.  The file formats that are supported by the Braille Sense OnHand are as follows:
60  1.  Hbl, brl, txt, pwd, brf, rtf, doc and docx files are supported by the word processor on the Braille Sense OnHand. 2.  Url, and html files are supported by the Web browser on the Braille Sense OnHand. 3.  aac, asf, asx, audible files(aa, aax), m3u, m4a, mp2, mp3, mp4, ogg, pls, wav, wax, wma, wmv, flac and midi files are supported by the media player on the Braille Sense OnHand. 4. Daisy files are supported by the Daisy player on Braille Sense OnHand.  If you press “Enter” on a file type other than those mentioned above, the “Open With” dialog box appears, because the file type is not associated with a program.    Also, you can bring up the “Open With” dialog box through the menu.    By using the “Open With” menu item, you can open the currently selected file with a program other than the program originally associated with it.    First, press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2” to bring up the menu, press “Space-4” repeatedly until you reach “Open With”, and then press “Enter”.    You can also open the dialog box by pressing “Enter-e (dots 1-5)” in the file list, or by pressing “e (dots 1-5)” in the menu.  This dialog box consists of the “Open With” list, the “adopt” list, a “Confirm” button, and a “Cancel” button.    You can move between these elements by pressing “tab (“Space-4-5”)” or “shift-tab (“Space-1-2”)”.  Within the list, you can select the next item by pressing “Space-4”, and the previous item by pressing “Space-1”.  As soon as the dialog box opens, “Open with: Word processor” will be displayed.    In this list, you can select a program, which would be the word processor, media player, or web browser.    Pressing “Space-4” will select the next program, and “Space-1” will select the previous program.   Once you have selected the program to open the file type with, press “tab (“Space-4-5”)” to move to the “adopt” list.    If you have selected the word processor, pressing “tab (“Space-4-5”)” will take you to an additional list called “Open mode”.    Using this list, you can specify whether the file will be opened as a Braille file or a text file.    Press
61  “Space-4” or “Space-1” to select one of the two file types, and then press “tab (“Space-4-5”)” to move to the “Apply to” radio button.    In this radio button, you can specify whether only the currently selected file or all of the files with the same file extension as the currently selected file will be opened with the specified program.    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 or *.opf), 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.    You can select files and folders by using the item selection option, which was described in section 4.1.2.    After selecting files and folders, you can call up the “menu” with “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2” to choose the “Send To” option.    Then, when you press “Enter” on “Send To”, the Braille Sense OnHand 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.    Pressing “Enter” on the desired disk will start copying the selected files and folders into the selected disk.  Also, you can send files and folders by pressing “Enter-s (dots 2-3-4)” without calling up a menu.  4.2.5 Copy / Move
62  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.   Files and folders can be selected as explained in section 4.1.2 in this user manual.  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 OnHand 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 OnHand 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 OnHand 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 OnHand 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 “up arrow (Space-1)” or “down arrow (Space-4)”.
63  2.  Call up the “menu” by pressing “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)”, and choose “Copy”.  Then, press “Enter”.  The Braille Sense OnHand 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 (dots 1-2-3-6)” after calling up the menu to complete the file copy function.   You can also use “Enter-v (dots 1-2-3-6)” to do the same thing.  4.2.6 Delete Files or Folders  To delete files or folders, go to the folders or files you want to delete, and then select them, as explained in section 4.1.2.    Call up the “menu” by pressing “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2” to choose the “Delete” function.    Press “Enter” on “Delete” to complete the deletion of the selected files and folders.    You can also press the letter “d (dots 1-4-5)” after calling up the menu to have the same result as above.    You can delete selected files or folders even without calling the menu by using hot keys.  “Space-d (dots 1-4-5)” and “Enter-d (dots 1-4-5)” are the hotkeys assigned to perform the delete function.  However, “Space-d (dots 1-4-5)” can be used with in the programs on the Braille Sense OnHand.    “Enter-d (dots 1-4-5)” can only be used in the “File manager”.     When you delete only one file or one folder, it is not necessary to use the select function.    Instead, just use the navigation keys to go to the file or folder you want to delete, and then you can use the delete function from the “File manager”.  4.2.7 Rename  You can change the name of a file or folder by using this function.    To change the name of a file or folder, move to the file or folder you desire to rename.  Section 4.1.1 describes the navigation method for using the file list.    Call up the “menu” by using “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2” to choose “Rename” from the menu list.   Press “r (dots 1-2-3-5)” after calling up the menu to activate the rename function quickly.    Otherwise, you can use the down arrow (“Space-4”) until you reach “Rename” on the list.    Press “Enter” on this menu.    Then, the Braille Sense OnHand
64  will ask for a new name.    On the Braille display, “New file( or folder) name: (current file name or folder name)” will appear.    You must type in a new file name and folder name in ASCII characters.    And if you type the file extension, you can change the file extension. Pressing “Enter” after entering a new file name will complete the process of changing a file or folder name.    You cannot use the following characters in a file name or folder:    “|, \, <, >, ?, :, *”  4.2.8 New Document  You can create a new document with this option.  There are several ways to access this function.    You can utilize the menu by pressing “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)”, and you can use the down arrow (“Space-4”) until you reach “New Document”.    Another way to use this function is by pressing “n (dots 1-3-4-5)” after calling up the menu.    The hot key for this option in the “File manager” is “Enter-n (dots 1-3-4-5)”.    When the new document function is activated, the Braille Sense OnHand will display “File type: text (txt)”.    You can create two types of documents, which are “text file” and “Braille file”.    When the Braille Sense OnHand displays “File type: text (txt)”, you can use the down arrow (“Space-4”) to select the “Braille (brl)” file format.    When you press “Enter” on either “text (txt)” or “Braille (brl)”, the Braille Sense OnHand will display “New document name: New Document0.txt” or “New Document0.brl”.    “New Document0.xxx” is the default file name based upon the file type you have chosen.    The number after the new document will increase by one whenever you create a new document.    You can also type in the document name you prefer.    Then, the new document you named will be created. “|, \, <, >, ?, :, *” characters cannot be used when creating a file name.  4.2.9 New Folder  You can create a new sub-folder under the current folder by using this option.    You need to call up the “menu” in the “File manager” by pressing “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)”, and select “New Folder” from the menu list by using the down arrow (“Space-4”).    Press “Enter” on “New
65  Folder” to activate this function.    The Braille Sense OnHand will ask, “New folder name:”, and wait for your response.  Enter your preferable new folder name in ASCII, and press “Enter”.    Finally, your new folder has been created.    You can still use the letter “f (dots 1-2-4)” after calling up the menu to invoke the new folder option.    “Enter-f (dots 1-2-4)” is the hotkey that you use to access this feature quickly without going through the menu.    When creating a new folder name, you cannot use the following characters:    “|, \, <, >, ?, :, *”  4.2.10 File Conversion  The “File conversion” on the Braille Sense OnHand is similar to the “Save As” item in the word processor.  This feature converts files to different file formats.    The Braille Sense OnHand file conversion feature will support the following file formats:  “Sense Word (hbl)”, “Text (txt)”, and “Braille (brl)”.  The Braille Sense OnHand can convert one or more files at the same time to the file format you prefer.    Select files using the file selection method (method described in section 4.1.2).    After selecting the files you want to convert, call up the “menu” by pressing “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)”.    Move down to the “File Conversion”, and press “Enter”.    The Braille Sense OnHand will prompt you to choose the preferred file format.   Use the up and down arrows (“Space-1” or “Space-4”) to select the desired file format.    When you press “Enter” on the file format you want, the Braille Sense OnHand will start converting files to the file format you have chosen.    The Braille Sense OnHand will keep the original file names for the files you have converted, except for the file name extension.    The Braille Sense OnHand will change your file extension to the extension that you have selected.    If there is a file with the same file name and format already, “date” and “time” will be added to the file name.    You can always use the letter “t (dots 2-3-4-5)” after calling up the menu to invoke the file conversion feature.    Also, “Enter-t (dots 2-3-4-5)” is the hot key that activates this feature without calling up the menu.
66  4.2.11 Select All  This feature selects all the files and folders in the current path.    You can use this feature through the menu, or by using a shortcut key.  Press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2” to call up the “menu”.    Press the down arrow (“Space-4”) to go to “Select All”.  Press “Enter” to execute the “Select All” function.    You can use the letter “a (dot 1)” after calling up the menu to use this feature.    “Enter-a (dot 1)” is the hot key to select all of the files and folders in the current path.    When “Select All” is activated, the Braille Sense OnHand will say, “x objects selected”.  The Braille Sense OnHand will return to the file list in the current path after this brief announcement.    You will see “*” in front of each file name you have selected.    You can always cancel your selections by pressing “Space” after moving to the file you want to cancel.    This feature is a convenient way of copying, cutting, and deleting multiple files.  4.2.12 Search for File  “Search For File” is to find out files of the current or other disk.    You can press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4) to call up the “menu” and move to “Search For File”, and press “Enter” or “b”.    Or, you can press “Space-f (dot 1-2-4)” without calling the menu.    Then, you can see dialog box for file search.  The dialog box for file search consists of “edit window for file name to search”, “combo box to select a disk”, “check box to searching sub-folder”, “search button”, “Cancel button” and “list to be searched file” and you can use “tab (“Space-4-5”)” or “shift-tab (“Space-1-2”)” to move to each control. When you perform file search, you will hear “File for find:” This edit window is “edit window for file name to search”.    You need to input whole or part of the file name and press “Enter”.    Then, it will search all files which contains the word which you inputted in the current disk. After the file search, it is located in “list to be searched file” automatically.
67  You can press up and down arrow keys (“Space-1” and “Space-4”) to move to each file in “list to be searched file”.    If you press “Enter” on a file, it moves to the path where a file is stored and dialog box for file search will be closed. You can open the file by pressing “Enter” on the file name once again.  If you want to search a file in another disk, not in current disk, you need to input file name and press “tab (“Space-4-5”)” to move to “combo box to target disk”. Then, you can press up and down arrow keys (“Space-1” and “Space-4”) to move to a disk. If you press “Enter” on a disk or “Search button”, it will start to search a file in a disk. In “combo box to target disk”, you can see the disk list which is linked with Braille Sense OnHand now. If there are many files in a disk, it can take some time to search a file and you can see a message of “searching”.  If you want to search in a root of a disk excluding sub-folders, then press “tab (“Space-4-5”)” to move to the “check box to searching sub-folder”, press “Space” to cancel the selection in the check box and press “Enter”. The default set-up is to include sub-folders when you search in a disk.  4.2.13 Sort Files By  This option is used to specify the order of how files and folders will be displayed within the file list.    Press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2” to bring up the menu.    Then, press “Space-4” repeatedly until you reach “Sort Files By”, and then press “Enter”.  Also, you can access this feature by pressing “Enter-g (dots 1-2-4-5)” in the file list, or by pressing “g (dots 1-2-4-5)” in the menu.    Then, you can specify in what order the files and folders in the file list will be sorted.    Files and folders can be sorted according to the following:    “Name”, “Size”, “Extension”, and “Date and Time”.    You can move between these items by pressing “Space-4” or “Space-1”.    If you press “Enter” after selecting the sorting criterion, files and folders will be displayed in the specified order.    If you select “Name” or “Extension”, the list will be sorted in ascending order, and if you select “Size” or “Date and Time”, the list will be sorted in descending order.  By default, files and folders in the file list will be
68  sorted by “Name”.    Once you have chosen how you want your file and folder lists sorted, the option will be kept even after the “File manager” is closed, so that files and folders can be sorted in the same order when the “File manager” is opened again later.  4.2.14 Set File Info  This item is used to set what kind of information will be displayed in the file list.    Press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)”.    Then, press “Space-4” repeatedly until you reach “Set File Info”, and then press “Enter”.    You can also access this feature by pressing “Enter-l (dots 1-2-3)” in the file list or press “l (dots 1-2-3)” when you are in the menu.    Then, you can select the information to be displayed in a list containing “Name”, “Name, Size”, and “Name, Size, Date and Time”.    You can move between these items by pressing “Space-4 or “Space-1”.    If you press “Enter” after selecting the information to be displayed, the file list will be updated, and show all the information you specified.    By default, only names are displayed in the “file list”.    If you have selected “Name, Size”, the name and size of files will be displayed.    But, for folders, size will not be displayed.    If you have set the “Set File Info” option, it will be kept even after closing the “File manager”, and the same information will be displayed when the “File manager” is started again.  4.2.15 Display Only Files of Type  This is used to specify what type of files will be displayed in the file list.   Press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2” to bring up the menu.    Then, press “Space-4” repeatedly until you reach “Display Only Files Of Type”, and press “Enter”.    You can also access this feature by pressing “Enter-w (dots 2-4-5-6)” in the file list, or press “w” in the menu.    Then, you can select one of the following items:    “All Files”, “Sense Word Files”, “MS Word Files”, “Text Files”, “Braille Files”, “HTML Files”, “URL Files”, “Media Files”, and “Wave Files”.    You can move between these items by pressing “Space-4” or “Space-1”.    If you press “Enter” after selecting the file type you want, only the files of the specified type will be displayed in the file list.    Folders will be displayed for whatever type you
69  have specified.    By default, all files are displayed in the file list.    This option setting is not kept after closing the “File manager”, so all the files will be displayed after starting the “File manager” again.  4.2.16 Zip  With this item you can compress files and folders into a zip file.   Compressing a file makes the total file size smaller, which can make it easier to email, or allow you to save space on a storage device or disk.   To activate the “Zip” function, use the following steps:  1. Select the files or folders you want to compress in the “file list” by using “Space” or “Enter-b (dots 1-2)”. 2.  Open the menu by pressing “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2”, and press “Enter” on “Zip”.    Or, while you are in the menu, press “z (dots 1-3-5-6)”.  You can also activate this function without calling up the menu by pressing “Enter-z (dots 1-3-5-6)”. 3. Then, “Zip filename: (default filename.zip)” will appear.  “Default filename” is the file name that will be used for the compressed file if you try to compress only one file or folder.  If you try to compress several files or folders, the default name is the folder name that contains the files and folders. 4. If you press “Enter” (or press “Enter” on “Confirm” by pressing “tab (“Space-4-5”)”), the zip file will be created in the current path.    If you want to change the name of the zip file, you can modify the default by using the cursor keys or type in a new name.    If you want to cancel, press “Space-e (dots 1-5)” or “Space-z (dots 1-3-5-6)”.  Or, move to “Cancel” by pressing “tab (“Space-4-5”)”, and then press “Enter” on “Cancel”.  4.2.17 Unzip  The “Unzip” function will allow you to unzip (or decompress) a zip file, regardless of whether it was made in Braille Sense OnHand or a PC.   To activate the “Unzip” function, use the following steps:
70  1. After selecting a zip file, open the menu with “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2”, and press “Enter” on “Unzip”.  Or, press “u (dots 1-3-6)” in the menu.    You can also activate this function without opening up the menu by pressing “Enter-u (dots 1-3-6)” after selecting a zip file. 2.  Then, “Unzip to folder name: (default folder name)” will appear.    The default folder name is the compressed file name.    For example, if you unzip a file called “test.zip”, you will see “unzip folder name: test”. 3.  Then, press “Enter”, or move to “Confirm” by pressing “tab (“Space-4-5”)”, and then press “Enter” on “Confirm”.    Then, the Braille Sense OnHand will unzip the files to the default folder.    If you want to change the default folder name, you can modify the default folder name by using the cursor keys and editing the folder name.    Or, you can type in a new name.    If you want to cancel, press “Space-e (dots 1-5)” or “Space-z (dots 1-3-5-6)”.    You can also move to the “Cancel” button by pressing “tab (“Space-4-5”)”.  Then, press “Enter” on “Cancel”.  4.2.18 Information  The Braille Sense OnHand can provide information about files and folders.  The information feature in the “File manager” provides you with information about the file type, file size, the date and time of the file or folder’s creation, and file attribute.    Press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2” to call up the “menu”.    Press the down arrow (“Space-4”) until you reach “Information”.    Press “Enter” to activate the “Information” feature.    Use the letter “I (dots 2-4)” to call up the “Information” feature after opening up the “menu”.    “Enter-i (dots 2-4)” is the hot key for this option.    You can use this hot key without going through the menu.    The Braille Sense OnHand will display the information about a file or folder in the following order:    file type, file size, creation date and time, and attribute.   You can review this information by pressing the “tab (“Space-4-5”)”.   You can also press “Space-i (dots 2-4)”, while you are in the “program” menu in the Braille Sense OnHand, to hear how much space is available on the flashdisk.  1.  File type:    This will give you the file type information, such as “brl file”,
71  “doc file”, and “txt file”.    When a folder is selected, it will give you the information indicating that this is a folder containing x number of files and folders. 2.  File size:    This will show you the size of the selected file or folder.   When multiple files or folders are selected, this will give you the total size of the selected files and folders. 3.  Date and time:    This will show you the time and date when the folder and file was created or modified. 4.  Attribute:    This will show you whether the file is write protected or not.   You can change this attribute by using the up and down arrows (“Space-1” or “Space-4”) or “space. When multiple files or folder are selected, you won't be able to see this attribute. 5.  Confirm:    In order to change the attribute, press “Enter” when “Confirm” is displayed. 6.  Cancel:    In order to cancel the change, press “Enter” while “Cancel” is displayed.  4.3 Using the Address Window  This window provides you with the ability to type in the file name you want to open.    Also, this window provides you with the opportunity for you to type in the path name you want to go to.    This window contains the history list you can use for opening a file or for moving to a directory.   The history list contains file names and directory paths you have used recently.  4.3.1 Editing  When you are in a file or folder list, you can press “tab (“Space-4-5”)” to get into the address window.    The Braille Sense OnHand will show you the current path including the current disk name, such as “flashdisk/download/”.    When you edit the path, you need to use the cursor routing keys to move the cursor to the place where you can type in the text.    The cursor stays at the end of the path name when you first go into the address window.
72  The address window is only valid when you are in a file or folder list.   When you are in the disk list, the address window is not available.  4.3.2 Type in Path / File Name  When you relocate the cursor by pressing the cursor routing key to the place that you want to edit, the Braille Sense OnHand will insert the text from the location where the cursor is.    If you know the exact path and file name, you can type in the path and file name to open the file with the appropriate application.    For example, if you type in “flashdisk/download” in the address window and press “Enter”, the Braille Sense OnHand will show you the list of the files in the download folder.    If you type “flashdisk/My Documents/sample.txt” in the address window, and press “Enter”, the Braille Sense OnHand will first load the word processor, and then open the file “sample.txt”.    After the file opens, you can read or edit the file, “sample.txt”.  4.3.3 Opening the History List  The history list contains paths, folders, and files that you have opened previously.    You can access this history list within the address window by pressing the down arrow (“Space-4”).    Use the up and down arrows (“Space-1” or “Space-4”) to review the history list.    You can also use the scroll buttons to move around on this list.    Simply open or visit the file and path by pressing “Enter” on the item, which is displayed in Braille.   The files that are supported by the Braille Sense OnHand will open with the appropriate applications (see section 4.2.3).    During the navigation of the history list, you can still type in new path names or file names that you want to access.  4.4 Hot Keys in the “File Manager”  Hot Keys for the File Manager 1.  Open:  Enter-o (dots 1-3-5) 2.  Open with: Enter-e (dots 1-5) 3.  Zip: Enter-z (dots 1-3-5-6)

74  5. Word Processor  When you launch the word processor on the Braille Sense OnHand, the Braille Sense OnHand 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”.    Don’t worry if you can’t 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)” or “F2” 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 OnHand off while you are editing a document, the Braille Sense OnHand will say the status when you turn the Braille Sense OnHand 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.
75  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 OnHand.    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 OnHand 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.
76  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 OnHand 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”.
77  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 move to the upper folder or to other folders, you can go to wherever you want by using scrolling keys, just like in the “File manager” in chapter 4.  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 OnHand 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 OnHand 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 option”.   After the file opens, you can switch the Braille mode, as was explained in section 3.4.   In the word processor of the Braille Sense OnHand, 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 OnHand will ask you if you want to save changes to the document that is already open.    Then, you can save the file (see section 5.1.3 for a detailed explanation).  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”)”.
78  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)” or “F2” 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 OnHand 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.  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:”
79  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.  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”.    When “file name” is displayed, select your desired file by navigating the file list with the same method that you used to navigate the “File manager” that was explained in chapter 4.  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
80  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)” or “F2” 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)  Print method 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.
81  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 OnHand 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 OnHand. 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 OnHand shows an error message and returns to the open document.  2. Print Text
82  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 OnHand will return you to the open document.  Note that the Braille Sense OnHand 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 (“Space-4-5”)” or “shift-tab (“Space-1-2”)”.    And you can move between setting items in list by pressing “Space-1” or “Space-4”.  The following are the setting items that can be changed:  1.  View format character (Yes/No):    If this option is set to “Yes”, all of the format characters are displayed.    If you want to change this option, use “Space” to toggle.    Formatted characters will be marked with the “carriage return ($p)”, “auto return ($l)” and the “mark sign ($pl)”.
83  2. Reading unit (Line/Paragraph):  It sets the moving unit when “Space-1” or “Space-4” is pressed while you are reading a document.    If this option is set to “Line”, “Space-1” moves line by line.    If this option is set to “Paragraph”, “Space-1” moves paragraph by paragraph.  In order to toggle between “Line” and “Paragraph”, press “Space”. 3.  Read only (Yes/No):    If this option is set to “Yes”, the document cannot be modified.    This setting is used in order to protect the document from any unintentional modifications.  If you want to change it to “No”, press “Space”. Note that when you choose to select “Compressed” on the option for reading with the Braille display, you set “Read only” to “Yes”.    When you are reading a document pressing a “cursor routing key”, will show a word or character corresponding to the operation of the “cursor routing key”. This will be displayed at a very left of the 18-cell Braille display. 4. Reading mode (Original/Compressed): This option sets the reading mode. Reading mode “Original”, will show the document in its original format. If the Reading mode is set to “Compressed”, The Braille Sense OnHand will continue displaying contents even if there exists a carriage return ($p). In order to toggle between “Original” and “Compressed”, press “Space”. 5.  Auto scroll speed (1~20):    This option sets the duration of displaying one line while you are scrolling in a document.    Twenty is the fastest scrolling speed.    Pressing “Space” makes the number increase, and “Backspace” makes the number decrease.    Refer to section 4.4.5 for more information about the auto scroll option. 6.  Automatic save interval (Don’t save automatically, 10~60):    This option sets the automatic save time interval of the file that is currently being edited. 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
84  “Space”.  If you want to change the default saving folder, you move to “Default folder” button by press “tab (Space-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- 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 OnHand, 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, let’s explore the edit menu.  5.2.1 Start Selection
85  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.
86  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.

To activate this command, press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2”, and then press “Enter” on “Edit” to enter into the “Edit” menu.    You can move to “Select All” by pressing “Space-4” repeatedly, and then press “Enter” on “Select All”, or press “a (dot 1)” in the “Edit” menu (which is the short cut).  While editing a document, press “Enter-a (dot 1)” to activate this function.  5.2.10 Insert from File  This command will insert another file in the current document that is being edited.    If you want to run this command, press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2”, and press “Enter” on the “Edit” menu.    Move to “Insert From File” by pressing “Space-4” repeatedly.    Then, press “Enter” on “Insert From File”, or just press “I (dots 2-4)” in the “Edit” menu.    While editing a document, pressing “Enter-i (dots 2-4)” will activate this function.  When you use this option, an insert dialog box will appear just like the open dialogue box.    Select a file that you want to insert in to the current document, and press “Enter” on the file.    Then, the selected file will be inserted at the beginning of the paragraph with your cursor.  When you execute “Insert From File”, the text inserted from the file will be converted to the file format of the current document.  Although the saved file that you pasted was in a different formatted document, the same file format will be kept as the current document.    For example, if you insert “sample.txt” in “sample.hbl” and save it, the saved file will be “sample.hbl”.   Note that if you are going to insert a Braille file in a text file, the Braille document will be translated back into a text document.    You can read it
89  in Braille, but on rare occasions you might see differences in the translated text.  5.2.11 Insert Date  To insert the date into your document, press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2”, and then press “Enter” on “Edit” to enter into the “Edit” menu.

Then, you can insert the current date and time where the cursor is located in your document.    If you want to insert part of the current date and time, you can modify what you want to change after completing the “Insert Date” command.    When you are editing a document, you should press “Enter-w (dots 2-4-5-6)” to activate this command.  5.2.12 Changing Between Insert and Overwrite Mode  There are two ways of editing documents in the Braille Sense OnHand.   The first is to insert your text, which will push back the words behind the cursor. This is called the “Insert mode” because you are simply inserting text.    When you are in “Insert mode”, the cursor will show up “dots 7-8”.   The second is to overwrite text at the cursor location.    This is called the “Overwrite mode”. In “Overwrite mode”, the cursor will display as blinking “dots 7-8”.  If you start the word processor (or open a document), the “Insert mode” is the default.    This will write text, while pushing back other words that are already in the document.    However, you can overwrite text while erasing the old text by switching to “Overwrite mode”.    You can switch to the “Overwrite mode” by pressing “Space-i (dots 2-4)”.  In the “Overwrite mode”, you can change the old text into new text at the cursor location.  If you want to go back to “Insert mode”, you should press “Space-i (dots 2-4)” again.    You can also access this function via the menu.    Press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2”, and go to “Edit” using the up and down arrows (“Space-1” and “Space-4”).  Next, press
90  “Enter” on “Edit” to enter in to the “Edit” menu.    Then, use the scroll buttons to scroll to find “Toggle Insert/Overwrite Mode”, or you can just press “m (dots 1-3-4)” while you are in the “Edit” menu.  5.2.13 Check Spelling  This option is used to check spelling while you are editing a document In order to bring up check spelling option, do the following;  1.  Call up the “menu” by pressing “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2”. 2.  Move to the “edit” menu by pressing “Space-4”. 3. Press “Enter” on the “edit” menu. 4.  Press “Space-4” until “check spelling” is displayed. Or, press “k (dots 1-3)” in order to move to “check spelling” directly. 5.  Press “Enter” on the “check spelling”. Or, you can call up the “check spelling” menu by pressing “Enter-k (dots 1-3)” while you are editing a document.  If “check spelling” is executed, a dialog box with the following items will be displayed:  “Range” combo box “Custom dictionary” dialog (c) “Options” dialog (o) “Begin” button (b) “Cancel” button  You can move from one item to the next by pressing “tab (“Space-4-5”)” or “shift-tab (“Space-1-2”)”. The following is a detailed explanation for each item:  The “range” combo box is used to designate the range that is to be spell checked. 1.  Whole document: check throughout the entire current document. 2.  Chapter: check the current chapter where the cursor is located. 3.  Sentence: check the current sentence where the cursor is located.
91  4.  From cursor to bottom: check from the cursor position to the end of the document. 5.  Current word: check just the word where the cursor is located. 6.  You can move from one item to the next by pressing “Space-1” or “Space-4”.  When you press “Enter” on the “custom dictionary” dialog, the following items will be displayed:  1.

You can move from one item to the next item by pressing “tab (“Space-4-5”)” or “shift-tab (“Space-1-2”)”.  When you press “Enter” on the “option” dialog, the following items will be displayed:  1.  Always suggest recommended word: if this option is set to “on”, the Braille Sense OnHand will suggest a word if the word that is encountered is not in the dictionary. The default is set to “on”. If the option is set to “off”, the Braille Sense OnHand will not recommend a word. In order to toggle between “on” and “off”, press “space”.
92  2.  Use main dictionary only: if this option is set “on”, the spell checker will not look up any words in the “custom dictionary”. It will only use the main dictionary. The default value is set to “off”, and you can toggle between “on” and “off” by pressing “space”. 3.  Skip whole upper-case word: if this option is set to “on”, words with only upper-case letters will not be checked. The default is set to “on”, and you can change it by pressing “space”. 4.  Skip a word including address: if this option is set to “on”, the words that contain an address will not be checked. The default is set to “on”, and you can change it by pressing “space”. 5.  Skip a word including number: if this option is set to “on”, the words that include the numbers will not be checked. The default value is set to “off”, and you can change it by pressing “space”. 6.  Confirm: if you press “Enter” on “confirm”, the changes that you made above will be saved, and the Braille Sense OnHand will exit from the “option” dialog. 7.  Cancel: if you press “Enter” on “Cancel”, the changes that you have made above will be canceled and the Braille Sense OnHand exit from “option” dialog.  In order to move between the items 1) through 5), press “Space-1” or “Space-4”. But, in order to move to “Confirm” or “Cancel”, press “tab (“Space-4-5”)” or “shift-tab (“Space-1-2”)”.  If you press “Enter” on the “begin” button after you set all of the settings, the Braille Sense OnHand will start to check spelling. If you press “Enter” on the “Cancel” button, the “spell check” will be canceled. Once “spell check” is executed, the following dialog box will be displayed:  1.  Window to show the text: it shows the sentence with the word to be checked currently. The cursor will be located at the word that is to be checked currently. 2.  Change word edit box: it shows the word to be checked currently. You can input the correct word in edit box directly.
93  3.  Recommendation word list: if the word to be checked is not in the dictionary, the Braille Sense will recommend words. You can move from one recommended word to the next by pressing “Space-1” or “Space-4”. 4.  Skip once (s): if you press “Enter” on this button when a word is encountered that is not in the dictionary, the word will not be modified. You can also press the “down scroll button” in order to skip the word. 5.  Skip all (i): if you press “Enter” on this button, the word that is the same word as the currently focused word will not be modified and skipped throughout the spell check range. 6.  Add to custom dictionary (a): if you press “Enter” on this button, the word that is currently focused is added to your “custom dictionary”. 7.  Modify once (c): focus on the modified word and select the desired word on the “recommendation word list”, and then press “Enter”. Then, the currently focused word that is on your document will be replaced by the recommended word. 8.  Modify all (m): focus on the modified word and select the desired word on the “recommendation word list”, and then press “Enter”. The same words with the same spelling will be replaced by the new word throughout the document. 9.  Cancel: if you press “Enter” on the “Cancel” button, the “spell check” will be ended. You can move from one item to the next by pressing “tab (“Space-4-5”)” or “shift-tab (“Space-1-2”)”. When the spell check has completed, the Braille Sense OnHand will say “search: 00 mismatch: 00 replace: 00”.  Also simply, you can check spelling of the current word by press backspace-k (dots 1-3) when you enter or meet the misspelled word. If you press backspace-k (dots 1-3), you will hear list of recommended word. You move to word that you want by using the “Space-1” or “Space-4”. And press “Enter”. So misspelled word will change to the correct word.    5.3 Go to Menu
94  If you want to open the “Go To” menu in the word processor, press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2”, and move to “Go To” by pressing “Space-4”.  Then, press “Enter” on “Go To”.    Or, you can press “g (dots 1-2-4-5)” in the menu.    In the “Go To” menu, you will find the following submenus:    “Find”, “Find Again”, “Replace”, “Go To Location”, “Go to Previous Page”, “Go To Next Page”, “Set Mark”, “Go to Mark”, “Go To Previous Document”, and “Go To Next Document”.  5.3.1 Find  The find function allows you to search for text in a document.    Once the text is found you will be taken to that position in your document.    To execute this command, press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2”, and move to “Go To” by pressing “Space-4” and press “Enter” on “Go To”.    Then, select “Find”.    You will be able to navigate the “Go To” menu with “Space-1” or “Space-4”.    Otherwise, you can press “f (dots 1-2-4)” in the “Go To” menu, which is the shortcut.    While editing a document, pressing “Space-f (dots 1-2-4)” will activate the “Find” command.    If “Find” is executed, the dialog box is displayed.  This dialog box consists of “Text to find”, “Search direction”, “Match case”, a “Confirm” button, and a “Cancel” button.    You can move from one field to the next field by pressing “tab (“Space-4-5”)” or “shift-tab (“Space-1-2”)”.  1.  Text to find The first field in “Find” is “Text to find”.    In this window, you can type in the text that you want to find.    If you want to find the text immediately, press “Enter”.    However, if you want to set other fields in the dialog box, press “tab (“Space-4-5”)” to move to the next field. 2. Search direction The next field is “Search direction”.    The default direction is “Forward”.    If you would like to change the search direction, you should press “Space”.    Pressing “Space” will toggle between “Forward” and “Backward”.    After you type in the text to be found, and set the searching direction, press “Enter” if you want to find the text immediately. 3. Match case
95  The next field is “Match case”. This field display only when you execute the “Find” command in text file. This field does not display in Braille file. The default value is “No”. If you want to change the value, press “Space”. Pressing “Space” will toggle between “No” and “Yes”. 4. Confirm After you set all of the fields and want to execute “Find”, press “Enter” on “Confirm”.    You can also start finding text by pressing “Enter” on “Text to find” or “Search direction”. 5. Cancel In order to cancel the “Find” function, press “Enter” on “Cancel”.    Or, you can cancel the “Find” command by pressing “Space-z (dots 1-3-5-6)”.  If you have executed the “Find” command as explained above and it finds the text that you typed in, the sentence with the text is displayed on the Braille display.    If there was no text that matched what you typed in, the cursor does not move and the Braille Sense OnHand announce the “not found”. by the voice.    This function saves the text that was typed in last, as well as the direction, so you can use it again to search for the next occurrence of text.  When using the find command, the current cursor position is very important.    If the cursor is located at the beginning of the document, it is better for you to select “Forward” direction.    If the cursor is located at the end of the document, it is better to select “Backward” as the direction used for searching.  5.3.2 Find Again  When you want to run the “Find Again” command; you can press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2”.    Then move to “Go To” by pressing “Space-4”.  Then, press “Enter” on “Go To”.    Move to “Find Again” by pressing “Space-4” to move to “Find Again” and press “Enter”, or press “h (dots 1-2-5)” in the “Go To” menu.    When you are editing a document, you should press “Enter-f (dots 1-2-4)” to activate this command.    When “Find Again” is executed, “Find Again” will look for the text that was used
96  in the previous “Find”.    “Find again” will search in the same direction that was used with the last “Find”.    If you have not yet used the “Find” command in the current document, and you execute “Find Again”, it will not work.    “Find again” is used to find the text that you have previously found in the current document.  5.3.3 Replace  To execute this command, press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2”, and move to “Go To” by pressing “Space-4”.    Then, press “Enter” on “Go To”.  Move to “Replace” by pressing “Space-4” to move to “Replace (r)”, and press “Enter”, or press “r (dots 1-2-3-5)” in the “Go To” menu (which is the short cut).    While editing a document, pressing “Enter-r (dots 1-2-3-5)” will activate this function.  “Replace” also has a dialog box that consists of the following fields:   “Text to find”, “Replace with”, “Search direction”, “Match case”, “Replace”, “Confirm” and “Cancel”.    You can move between the fields by pressing “tab (“Space-4-5”)” or “shift-tab (“Space-1-2”)”.  The following is a description of each function.  1.  Text to find You can type in the text that you want to be replaced in this field. 2. Replace with You can type in new text that will replace the text that is found.    After you type in “Text to find” and “Replace with”, the Braille Sense OnHand will find the text and replace it in the direction that you have specified.  If you want to change the direction, press “tab (“Space-4-5”)” to move to the next field. 3. Search direction The “Search direction” has the same function as the “Search direction” explained in section 5.3.1.    After you set the searching direction, press “Enter” to start the replacement of text, or press “tab (“Space-4-5”)” to set the “Match case” or “Replace”. 4. Match case
97  This field display only when you execute the “Replace” command in text file. This field does not display in Braille file. The default value is “No”. If you want to change the value, press “Space”. Pressing “Space” will toggle between “No” and “Yes”. 5. Replace You may want to replace only one piece of text.    Or, you may want to replace all the texts that coincides with the text that you typed in the “Text to find” field.    You can set it in the “Replace” field.    There are two choices:    “Once” and “All”.    You can toggle between the two choices by pressing “Space”. 6.  Confirm and Cancel Pressing “Enter” on “Confirm” will start finding and replacing text.  If there is no text that coincides with the text that was typed in, “Not found”. is displayed, and the function is canceled. Pressing “Enter” on “Cancel” will cancel the “Replace” function.  5.3.4 Go to Location  The “Go to Location” command moves rapidly to a specific location.   You can move to a specific page, paragraph, or line.    To execute this command, press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2”, and move to “Go To” by pressing “Space-4”.  Then, press “Enter” on “Go To”.    Move to “Go To Location” by pressing “Space-4”, and then press “Enter”.    While editing a document, press “Enter-l (dots 1-2-3)” to activate this function.    If “Go to Location” is executed, the word processor says, “Move to page number:”    If you type in a number here, the Braille Sense OnHand will take you to the page number that corresponds with the number you have just typed in.    You can also type the letter “f (dots 1-2-4)” before the number.    This will tell the Braille Sense OnHand that you are looking for a page number, and not a paragraph, or, line number.    Type in the number of the page you want to move to without the plus sign or minus sign, and then press “Enter”.    The word processor will jump from start of the document to the specific page at once.    If you want to move forward from your current location, put the plus sign in front of the number and letter.  For example, if you want to move forward five pages, you would type “+f5”.    If you want to move backward from your current location,
98  put the minus sign in front of the number and letter.    If you want to move to the previous page, type “-f”, and if you want to move to the next page, type “+f”.    If the page number you type in is not valid, the Braille Sense OnHand will say, “Move range error”.  You can also use this function to move to a specific paragraph.    First, select “Go To Location” in the “Go To” menu, or just press “Enter-l (dots 1-2-3)”.    Then, the Braille Sense OnHand will say, “Move to page number:”    Before you type in the number of the paragraph that you want to go to, type “p (dots 1-2-3-4)”, and then type the number of the paragraph that you want to go to.    By typing in the letter “p (dots 1-2-3-4)”, the Braille Sense OnHand will know that you are looking for a paragraph, and not a page or line.    If you want to move forward from your current location, put the plus sign in front of the number and letter.   If you want to move backward from your current location, put the minus sign in front of the number and letter.  For example, if you want to move backward two paragraphs, you would type, “-p2”.    If you want to move to the previous paragraph, type “-p”, and if you want to move to the next paragraph, type “+p”.    If the paragraph number you type in is not valid, the Braille Sense OnHand will say, “Move range error”.  You can also use this function to move to a specific line.    First, select “Go To Location” in the “Go To” menu, or just press “Enter-l (dots 1-2-3)”.   Then, the Braille Sense OnHand will say, “Move to page number:”   Before you type in the number of the line that you want to go to, type “l (dots 1-2-3)”, and then type the number of the line that you want to go to.   By typing in the letter “l (dots 1-2-3)”, the Braille Sense OnHand will know that you are looking for a line, and not a page or paragraph.  If you want to move forward from your current location, put the plus sign in front of the number and letter.    If you want to move backward from your current location, put the minus sign in front of the number and letter.   For example, if you want to move backward two lines, you would type, “-l2”.    If you want to move to the previous line, type “-l”, and if you want to move to the next line, type “+l”.    If the line number you type in is not valid, the Braille Sense OnHand will say, “Move range error”.
99  You can also go to a specific line number on a specific page.    The Braille Sense OnHand enables you to type in this information at the same time.    To do this, press “Enter-l (dots 1-2-3)”, or you can select “Go To Location” in the “Go To” menu.    Then, when the Braille Sense OnHand says, “Move to page number:” you can type in the page number followed by the line number.    For example, to move to the 3rd line on the 20th page, you would type “20 3”, or you could type “f20 3”.    When you use the command of the “Go To Location” function, you cannot use the “+” or “-” sign.    You can only go directly to the page and line number.  5.3.5 Go to Previous Page  The “Go To Previous Page” command allows you to move to the page that is located before the page you are currently on.    To execute this command, press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2”, and move to “Go To” by pressing “Space-4”.  Then, press “Enter” on “Go To”.    Move to “Go To Previous Page” by pressing “Space-4”, and then press “Enter”, or press “Space-1-2-6” or “F1-F2” while you are in the document.    Once you have activated the “Go To Previous Page” function, the Braille Sense OnHand will go directly to the previous page.  5.3.6 Go to Next Page  The “Go To Next Page” command allows you to move to the page that is located after the page you are currently on.    To execute this command, press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2”, and move to “Go To” by pressing “Space-4”.  Then, press “Enter” on “Go To”.    Move to “Go To Next Page” by pressing “Space-4”, and then press “Enter”.    Or, you can press “Space-3-4-5” or “F3-F4” while you are in the document.    Once you have activated the “Go To Next Page” function, the Braille Sense OnHand will go directly to the next page.  5.3.7 Set Mark  The “Set mark” command marks a position in the document that you want to use later.    To execute this command, press “Space-m (dots 1-3-
100  4)” or “F2”, and move to “Go To” by pressing “Space-4”.    Then, press “Enter” on “Go To”.    Move to “Set mark” by pressing “Space-4”, and then press “Enter”, or press “m (dots 1-3-4)” in the “Go To” menu, which is the short cut.    While editing a document, press “Enter-m (dots 1-3-4)” to activate this command.  Move the cursor to the location that you want to mark, and press “Enter-m (dots 1-3-4”).    Then, the Braille Sense OnHand will say “Mark name:”.   To name the mark, use the letters a through z.  For example, if you put down the letter “a (dot 1)”, the Braille Sense OnHand will move you to that point in the document immediately.    If you are in the document, the Braille Sense OnHand will not show the mark sign.    If you selected “View format character” in “Settings”, which was explained in section 5.1.7, you will see the mark sign in the document.    You can go to marked text by using “Space-3” or “Space-6”, and the bookmark sign will appear, which is “$pl (mark name)”.    If you move the cursor to the mark location in a document, you can see dots 7-8 all through the mark sign.   This means that the Braille Sense OnHand will deal with the marked text as a chunk, but not with every character one by one.  5.3.8 Go to Mark  The “Go To Mark” command finds a mark that has already been marked.   When you want to execute this command, you can press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)”, or “F2”, and move to “Go To” by pressing “Space-4”.    Then, press “Enter” on “Go To”.    Move to “Go To Mark” by pressing “Space-4”, and then press “Enter”, or press “j (dots 2-4-5)” in the “Go To” menu, which is the short cut.

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.
118   6.2 Starting the Address Manager  When you press “Enter” on “Address manager” in the “program” menu, the Braille Sense OnHand 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”.    While you are entering an address, you can use the “Search Address” function (refer to section 6.4), “Set Address Fields” (refer to section 6.3.2), “Set Backup Option (refer to section 6.5.3)”, “Backup Address List (refer to section 6.5.1)” “Restore Address List (refer to section 6.5.2)” and “exit” commands, using the menu or with other shortcut keys.  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
119  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 don’t 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 “Company street address” field, which is the 15th field, you should press the 15th cursor routing key.  You can enter telephone numbers using Computer Braille (without a number sign) or regular Uncontracted 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 (,),
120  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 Uncontracted Braille.  When you enter a home page address or an e-mail address, you should enter the information using computer Braille.    For the @ (at sign), you should press “Space-u (dots 1-3-6)” and then “dot 4”.    A period or dot (.) in a home page address (or an e-mail address) should be entered as “dots 4-6”.    A colon (:) can be typed in using “dots 1-5-6” and a slash (/) can be typed in using “dots 3-4”.  By pressing “tab (“Space-4-5”)”, you can get to the “Memo” field.    You can type in multiple lines of text in the “Memo” field.    When you want to start a new line of text, you should press “Enter”.  When you are done entering information for a record, you can press “tab (Space-1-2)” until you reach the “Confirm” button.    Then, press “Enter” on “Confirm”.  6.3.2 Setting Add Address Fields  “Set Address Fields” enables you to select one of the 22 fields to be shown when you enter contact information.    There are 22 fields in a record, but you may not want to enter information in every one of the 22 fields.    You can use “Set Address Fields” to select only the fields that you need.  To use this function, press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2” to bring up the menu, and then select “Set Address Field”, or press “o (dots 1-3-5)” (which is the short cut), and then press “Enter”.    Or, you can press “Enter-o (dots 1-3-5)” in the “Add Address” dialog box.  On the right side of each field name, “used” or “unused” is displayed.   The default value is set to “used”.    In order to toggle the value, press “Space”.
121  After setting all the fields you want to change, move to the “Confirm” button or the “Cancel” button by pressing “tab (“Space-4-5”)” or “shift-tab (“Space-1-2”)”, and then press “Enter” to save or cancel the changes.   Another way you can cancel the changes is by pressing “Space-e (dots 1-5)” or “Space-z (dots 1-3-5-6)”.  6.3.3 Using “Search Address” in “Add address”  In “Add Address”, use the “Search Address” function to jump to another record.    To use the “Search Address” function, press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2” to call up the “menu”.    Next move to “Search Address”, and then press “Enter”, or press “s (dots 2-3-4)”.    You can also press “Enter-s (dots 2-3-4)” in the “Add Address” dialog box.  If you have entered any information and execute “Search Address”, you will be asked “Save changes? Yes/No/Cancel”.  Once you answer this, the “Search Address” dialog box will be displayed.  6.4 Searching For an Address   6.4.1 Using “search address”  The “Search Address” dialog box enables you to search for any information stored in “Address manager”.  If you execute “Address manager” in the “program” menu, “Search Address” is executed automatically.    If you want to use “Search Address” in “Add Address”, you can either select it from the menu, and press “Enter”, or press “Enter-s (dots 2-3-4)” (which is the hot key), as explained in section 6.3.3.   If you press “Enter” in the “Search Address” dialog box, without typing any text, when “Last name:” is displayed, you can browse through all of the records that are stored in “Address manager”.    A “record” is a collection of information about one person.  If more than one record is found, you can move to the next record by pressing “Space-4”.    If you want to move to the previous record, you need to press “Space-1”.
122  For moving each field and record in the search result list, you can use the following keys. Following are the move keys in the search result list  Move to a previous field in a record: Space-2 Move to the next field in a record: Space-5 Move to the first field in a record: Space-1-3 Move to the last field in a record: Space-4-6 Move to the previous record: Space-1 Move to the next record: Space-4 Move to the first record: Space-1-2-3 Move to the last record: Space-4-5-6 Move to previous same field different record: Space-3 Move to next same field different record: Space-6  You can also search records using not only name field but also the other fields. If you want to find records with a company name, press “Space-4” repeatedly until “company name:” is heard. Then, type the company name, and press “Enter”. The first record that has the company name will be displayed.  When you enter text to be searched for, you do not have to type the entire content of a field. For example, if you want to find a record about “Edward”, type in “ed” in the “search name” field.    Then, all the records whose name field contains “ed” will be found.  6.4.2 Setting Searching Address Fields  This option enables you to select the fields that you want to search.   Press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2” to bring up the menu, and select “Set Address Search Fields”.    Then, press “Enter”.    Or, you can press “Enter-o (dots 1-3-5)” (which is the hot key) in the “Set Address Search Fields” dialog box.  If you want to search only the name, mobile phone number, and company telephone number fields, move to those fields that you do not
123  want to search by pressing “Space-4” or “Space-1”, and then press “Space” to change the value of that field to “unused”.    By pressing “Space”, you can toggle the value of a field between “used” and “unused”. This works just like the “set address fields” function that was explained in section 6.3.2.  6.4.3 Using “Add Address” In “Search Address”  You can use the “Add Address” command in the “Search Address” dialog box.    To do this, press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2” to bring up the menu, and then select “Add Address”.  Then, press “Enter”.  You can also press “Enter-i (dots 2-4)”, which is the hot key for this option.  6.5 Backing up and restoring the address list  6.5.1 Backup Address List  If a cold reset occurs, or if your battery goes dead, all of the data in the address manager will be lost.    So, it is very important that you make a backup file every time you make a change to the address list.    To go to “Backup Address List”, open the menu by pressing “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2”.    Then, use the up and down arrows (“Space-1” or “Space-4”), and find “Backup Address List”.    Then, press “Enter”.    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, 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).
124  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 1-2-3-5)” to activate this function, without calling up the menu.  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 don’t want either “Append” or “Overwrite”, press “Space-4”, locate “Cancel”, and press “Enter” on it.  6.5.3 Set Backup Options  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)”.
125  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 Commands in the Found Records  6.6.1 Find again  If you want to search for another name, press “tab (“Space-4-5”)” or “shift-tab (“Space-1-2”)”.  The prompt, “Last name:” will be displayed.
126  Now, you can type in the new text that you want to look for.  Just as in a new search, you can start the search by pressing “Enter”.   Even if you have canceled a search, you can go back to the “Search Address” dialog box by pressing “tab (“Space-4-5”)”.  6.6.2 Opening a home page  If a record has a homepage address or an email address, you can open the homepage or send an email.    Move to “Home page”, “Home e-mail” or “Company e-mail” by pressing “Space-1” or “Space-4”.  Then, press “Enter” on “Home page”, “Home e-mail” or “Company e-mail”.  If you press “Enter” on a “Home page”, the Braille Sense OnHand will automatically connect to the Web browser program.    If you press “Enter” on an “Home e-mail” or “Company e-mail”, the Braille Sense OnHand will bring up the “E-mail” program, so that you can send an email to the email address that you have selected.  Before you use this command, please make sure that you are connected to the internet.  6.6.3 Editing Addresses  In order to edit a field that is in a record, find the desired address by using the “Search Address” function, and then move to the field you want to change by using the “Space-2” or the “Space-5” repeatedly until you arrive at the field that you want to change.    Then, press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2” to call up the “menu”, and select “Modify Address”.  Then, press “Enter”, or you can press “Enter-m (dots 1-3-4)”, which is the hot key.    You can now enter new information for that field.    After you have finished entering the information, press “Enter”.    The Braille Sense OnHand will save the changes that have been made, and you will be returned to the first field of the record.  To save the changes that have been made, and exit from modify mode,
127  move to “Confirm” by pressing “tab (“Space-4-5”)” or “shift-tab (“Space-1-2”)”, and then press “Enter”. In order to exit from modify mode without saving the changes that have been made, move to “Cancel” by pressing “tab (“Space-4-5”)” or “shift-tab (“Space-1-2”)” and press “Enter”.    You can also exit from the “Modify Address” by pressing “Space-e (dots 1-5)” or “Space-z (dots 1-3-5-6)”, which are the hot keys.  6.6.4 Deleting Addresses  To delete the record you are currently reading, call up the “menu” by pressing “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)”, and select “Delete Address”.  Then, press “Enter” or press “d (dots 1-4-5)” (which is the short cut) in the “menu”.    Or, you can press “Space-d (dots 1-4-5)” (which is the hot key) while the record is displayed.    You can also delete more than one record at a time as follows:   1.  Select the records to be deleted and use the “Delete” command. To select the record that you want to delete, press “Space” when the record is displayed.  Selected records can be deleted by pressing the “delete” key (“Space-d (dots 1-4-5”).  If you press “Space” again on a selected record before you delete it, the selection will be canceled.    The records you have selected will show the, “*” symbol to the left of the “last name:”, which is the first field of a record.    The Braille Sense OnHand will say “selected”.    If you cancel a selection by pressing “Space” on a selected record, the “*” will disappear, and the Braille Sense OnHand will say “Canceled selection”. 2.  Select all and delete If you want to delete all the records in “Address manager”, press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2” to call up the “menu” and select “Select All”.    Then, press “Enter”.    Next, press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2” to call up the “menu” again, and then select “Delete Address”.  Then, press “Enter”.  Or, you can press “Enter-a (dot 1)” (which is the hot key) and press “Space-d (dots 1-4-5)” while you are using the “Search Address” function.    If you select all records by “Select All”, “*” will be displayed to the left of “Last name:”    If you press “Space-e (dots 1-5)”, then all of the selections will be canceled
128  and “*” will disappear.  6.6.5 Printing addresses  This option allows you to print the selected records to a Braille printer or an ink printer.    First, search the records to be printed with the “Search Address” command, and then select the records that you want to print.   To select a record, press “Space” on the record to be printed.    If you want to select all records in “Address manager”, press “Enter-a (dot 1)”, or select “Select All” from the “menu”, and press “Enter”.    At the beginning of a selected record, “*” will be displayed on the Braille display.  After selecting the records that you want to print, press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2” to bring up the “menu”, and then select “Print Address”.   Then, press “Enter”, or press “Space-p (dots 1-2-3-4)”, which is the hot key.    The Braille Sense OnHand will now prompt you to select a printer.   The default selection is “Printer”.    If you press “Space” once, the selection will be changed to “Embosser”.    And, if you press “Space” again, “Cancel” will be selected.    Each time when you press “Space”, the Braille Sense OnHand will cycle through “Printer”, “Embosser”, and “Cancel”.    You can select one of them by pressing “Enter” when the option you want to choose is displayed.  6.6.6 Saving Addresses to a File  You can save selected records to a file.

137  7. Schedule Manager  7.1 Overview  The “Schedule manager” is a program that is used to manage important information about appointments, anniversaries, and events.    The Schedule manager can also inform you of appointments at a specified time.    You can start the “Schedule manager” from the “program” menu, by pressing the up or down arrows (“Space-1” or “Space-4”) to move to “Schedule manager”.    Then, press “Enter”.    Or, you can press “s (dots 2-3-4)” in the “program” menu, which is the short cut.    The “Schedule manager” has two main dialog boxes:  “Add Schedule” and “Search Schedule”.    In “Add Schedule”, you can enter information about a new appointment.  Using “Search Schedule”, you can look for information about a specific appointment stored in the “Schedule manager”, and you can edit or delete the schedule information that is stored.  7.2 Starting “Schedule Manager”  If you press “Enter” on “Schedule manager”, or press “s (dots 2-3-4)” (which is the short cut) in the “program” menu, the “Search Schedule” dialog box will appear, so that you can search stored information.    The first thing you will hear is “Find date:” followed by the current date.    If you want to add new schedule information, press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2” to bring up the menu.    Then, select “Add Schedule”, and then press “Enter”.    Or, you can quickly open it by pressing “Enter-i (dots 2-4)” in the “Search Schedule” dialog box.    As in other programs on the Braille Sense OnHand, you can use menus and shortcut keys in the “Schedule manager”.    Section 7.13 lists all the hot keys and shortcut keys available in the “Schedule manager”.  7.3 Set time and date  When you use “Add Schedule”, “Search Schedule”, or “Wake up alarm” (which are located in the “Utilities” menu), you are asked to set the date and time.    The Braille Sense OnHand provides you with a consistent
138  interface to enter time and date information in these dialog boxes.    So before we start talking about using the “Schedule manager” in this section, we should explain how to enter the date and time.    When you are asked to enter a date and time, you can either type in the date and time, or select it using shortcut keys, which are outlined at the end of this section.    When you type numbers in date/time, you can use either Computer Braille (without a number sign) or regular Uncontrated 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 space or colon (:) to separate the hour field and minute field.    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 or slash (/) to separate the month, day, and year.    To set the date and time with shortcut keys, you can use the following commands.  1.  Date setting keys Move to the next day: Space-6 Move to the previous day: Space-3 Move to the next week: Space-5 Move to the previous week: Space-2 Move to the next month: Space-4 Move to the previous month: Space-1 Move to the next year: Space-5-6 Move to the previous year: Space-2-3 2.  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
139  7.4 Adding a Schedule  To add a new appointment, press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2” to bring up the menu.    Select “Add Schedule”, and press “Enter”, or press “Enter-i (dots 2-4)” in the “Search Schedule” dialog box.    The “Add Schedule” dialog box has a set of input fields, a “Confirm” button, and a “Cancel” button.    The input fields are “Start date”, “Start time”, “End date”, “End time”, “Subject”, “Location”, “Memo”, “Alarm time”, and “Set recurrence schedule”.  Among the input fields, you can move from one field to the next by pressing “tab (“Space-4-5”)” or “shift-tab (“Space-1-2”)”.    For the “Subject” and “Memo” fields, you can type in text, and for the “start date”, “End date”, “start time”, “End time” fields, you can either type in a date/time, or select it using shortcut keys, as explained in section 7.3.    If you press “Enter” on the “Confirm” button, the schedule information will be saved.    If you press “Enter” on “Cancel” button, the entry will not be saved.  7.4.1 Start date  When you start “Add Schedule”, the “Start date” edit box is displayed first. If you want to use this date, just press “tab (“Space-4-5”)” to move to the next field.    If you want to enter a new date, you want to type month/day/year in this order.    You can see “7.3 Set time and date” for more details about how to enter a date.  After you have entered the date, you should then press “tab (“Space-4-5”)” to move to the next field.   If you press “Enter” by accident right after filling in this field, you will get the message, “no subject”, and then the focus moves to the “Subject” field.  7.4.2 Start time  “Start time” is the second field in the “Add Schedule” dialog box.    Here you can set the time when your appointment starts.    By default, this field shows the current time, which can be changed in the “Set time and date” in the “Utilities” program.    If you set the time format as “12 hour” in this option, the time will be displayed in “am/pm” format.    Otherwise, the
140  time will be displayed in 24 hour format.    If you want to change the time, you should enter the time as explained in “7.3 Set time and date”.    If you have set the time format to “12 hour”, you will want to press “Space-x (dot 1-3-4-6)” to change between am and pm.    After you have entered the time, press the “tab (“Space-4-5”)” to move to the next field.    If you press “Enter” by accident right after entering this field, you will get the message, “no subject”, and then the focus will move to the “Subject” field.  Note: “Start date” varies following 2 cases.   1. If you try to add schedule that has not been performed the search mode in schedule manager, the default of “Start date” is set to the date based on current system. 2. If you try to add schedule that has been performed the search mode in schedule manager, the default of “Start date” is set to the date which has been searched by specific date.  Note: Above 2 cases only apply if you search by “date” in schedule manager. If you search by “subject”, the default of “Start date” is set to the date based on current system.  7.4.3 End date   The “End date” is the third field in the “Add Schedule” dialog box, and here you can set the date when the appointment ends.    By default, the same date as the date you set in the “Start date” field is displayed.    If you want to use this date, you can press “tab (“Space-4-5”)” to move to the next field.    If you want to enter a new date, you should type month/day/year in this order.    You can refer to “7.3 Set time and date” for more details about how to enter a date.    After you have changed the date, you can press “tab (“Space-4-5”)” to move to the next field.    If you press “Enter” by accident right after entering the date, you will get the message, “no subject”, and the focus will move to the “Subject” field.  7.4.4 End time
141  “End time” is the fourth field in the “Add Schedule” dialog box.    Here you can set the time when the appointment ends.  By default, the same time as the time you set in the “Start time” field is displayed.    If you want to change the time, type the time as you would in the “Start time”.   You should refer to “7.3 Set time and date” for more details about how to enter the time.    After setting the time, press “tab (“Space-4-5”)” to move to the next field.    If you press “Enter” by accident right after entering the time, you will get the message, “no subject”, and then the focus moves to the “Subject” field.   7.4.5 Subject  “Subject” is the fifth field where you can type in the subject of an appointment.    If you do not enter anything in this field, you will not be able to save the record.    If you press “Enter” after typing in the subject, the record will be saved, leaving the “Location” and “Memo” field empty, and the “Alarm time” field set to its default value (“Time of appointment”).   If you want to move to the next field, press “tab (“Space-4-5”)”, instead of “Enter”.  7.4.6 Location  In the “Location” field, you can type appointed location. If you press “Enter” after typing in the location, the record will be saved, leaving the “Memo” field empty, and the “Alarm time” field set to its default value (“Time of appointment”). If you want to move to the next field, press “tab (“Space-4-5”)”, instead of “Enter”.  7.4.7 Memo  In the “Memo” field, you can enter detailed information about an appointment. Here, you can type in more than one line. You can use most of the editing commands that are used in the “Word processor”.   Press “Enter” to enter information on a new line. You can leave this field
142  blank if you want to. After you finish writing the information, you can press “tab (“Space-4-5”)” to move to the next field.  7.4.8 Alarm Time  The “Alarm time” function allows you to set the time when you will be notified about an appointment. The alarm is set relative to the appointment time. For example, you may want the alarm to sound 30 minutes before your appointment, so that you are not late. The default value for this field is set to “Time of appointment”. This means that the alarm will sound at the same time as you have set for your appointment.   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 OnHand 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 OnHand is turned off. If you want to stop the alarm, press “Backspace-Enter”.  7.4.9 Set a recurring Schedule
143  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, it’s 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
144  you can set the date as described in “7.3 Setting date/time”. 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 of week” 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 don’t select any day, it will be set to the today’s day of the week. Press “tab (“Space-4-5”)” after selecting the days of the week when the appointment recurs. Then the focus will move to “Set recurrence end date” check box. You can set the recurrence end date as described in 7.4.9.1.  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.
145  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 as described in 6.4.9.1. 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 in the same way as described in 7.4.9.1  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”,
146  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 as described in 6.4.9.1. If you have set the “Recurring type” to “Day of the week”, you have to set “recurring week” and “Day of week for recurrence”.  You can set the values of these combo boxes in the same way as described in 7.4.9.3.  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
147  calling up the menu. Every time you press “Enter-f (dots 1-2-4)”, the Braille Sense OnHand 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 OnHand 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 as described in “7.3 Set time and date”. 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.
148  7.5.2 Searching with subject  If it is executed, the Braille Sense OnHand 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 OnHand will display all schedules in your Braille Sense OnHand.  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 OnHand 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 OnHand 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. After you read the schedule in detail and return to the schedule list, press “Space-e (dots 1-5)”. And if you want to search with the other keywords, press “tab (“Space-4-5”)” to move to “Search subject” edit box.  7.6 Modify Schedule  You can modify an appointment that you have scheduled. First, move to the appointment you want to modify in the find result list. Press “Enter-m (dots 1-3-4)”. Or open the menu by pressing “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2” and press “Enter” on “Modify Schedule”, or press the shortcut key “m (dots 1-3-4)” in the menu. Or you can press its hot key, “Enter-m (dots 1-3-4)” in the find result list.  If the appointment is a recurring schedule, a prompt, displaying “Recurrence appointment.  Open type?”
149  will appear. This is asking whether you want to modify the recurring schedule or the schedule for a specific day. 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 7.4. 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. Then, press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2” to open the menu, and press “Enter” on “Delete Schedule”.    Or you can press its hot key, “Space-d (dots 1-4-5)” in the find result list. If the selected schedule is a recurring schedule, “Recurring appointment. Delete type?” will be displayed. This is asking whether you want to delete the recurring schedule, or just the appointment for that day. If you select “This occurrence”, only the appointment on that day will be deleted. If you select “The series”, the recurring schedule itself will be deleted. You cannot select and delete multiple schedules at once. You can delete only the appointment currently focused.    7.8 Printing a Schedule  After finding an appointment using the “Search Schedule” command (as explained in section 6.5), you can print an appointment that you have found using the “Print Schedule” command.    In the search results list,
150  press “Space-p (dots 1-2-3-4)”, or call up the “menu” by pressing “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2”, and press “p (dots 1-2-3-4)”, or select “Print Schedule”.    Then, press “Enter”.    The Braille Sense OnHand will ask you to specify the beginning date of the appointments to be printed.   By default, the current date is displayed.    You can specify a date that you want to search for.    Refer to section 6.3 for information on how to enter dates.  Now, press “tab (“Space-4-5”)” to set the end date of the appointments that you want to be printed.    Again, you can enter the dates, as explained in section 7.3.    If you press “Enter” or “tab (“Space-4-5”)”, you will be asked to select the type of printer you will use.   “Printer” is the default setting.    Press “Space-1” or “Space-4” to move between “Embosser” and “Printer”. If you have selected the appropriate printer type, you can press “Enter” to start printing.    Before you press “Enter” here, please make sure the Braille Sense OnHand is connected to the printer correctly.    After the printing is finished, the Braille Sense OnHand will display the search results list.  7.9 Saving Appointments as a File  You can save appointments stored in “Schedule manager” as a document file.    In the search results list, press “Enter-t (dots 2-3-4-5)”, or call up the “menu” by pressing “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2”, and then select “Save Schedule As File”, and press “Enter”, or press “t (dots 2-3-4-5)” in the menu.    Then, the Braille Sense OnHand will ask you to specify the beginning and end date of the appointments to be saved just like it did in “Print Schedule”.    After setting the beginning and end dates, press “Enter” or “tab (“Space-4-5”)”, and the “file save” dialog box will be displayed to prompt you to enter the name and the format of the file to be saved.    This dialog box is the same as the “Save As” dialog box in the “Word processor”.    Please refer to section 5.1.4 for more information about the “Save As” dialog box.  7.10 Backing Up and Restoring Your Appointments  7.10.1 Backup Schedule
151  If a cold reset occurs, or if your battery goes dead, all of the data in the schedule manager will be lost.    So, it is very important to make a backup file every time you change your schedule.  To backup your schedule, go to “Backup Schedule”, open the menu by pressing “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2”.    Then, use the up and down arrows (“Space-1” or “Space-4”), and find “Backup Schedule”.    Then, press “Enter”.    You can also press “u (dots 1-3-6)” while you are in the menu to get to “Backup Schedule”.    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. Backup anyway? Yes”.    If you have made any changes to your schedule, press “Enter” here 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.    If you make a backup file again in the schedule manager, you will have a new backup file with the extension DAT, and you will have another file with the extension BAK (which originated from the previous “planner.dat”.)  7.10.2 Restore Schedule  If you want to restore your schedule 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 Schedule”.    Then, press “Enter” on “Restore Schedule”.    Or, you can press “r (dots 1-2-3-5)” while you are in the menu to find “Restore Schedule”.  You can also press “Enter-r (dots 1-2-3-5)” to activate this function, without calling up the menu.  If you activate the “Restore Schedule” function, and you already have an existing schedule, you will see the message “Schedule file already exists. Which do you prefer? Append” If you press “Enter” here, you will have a new schedule with the backup file appended.  If you press “Space-4” once and press “Enter” on “Overwrite”, you will have a schedule restored from the backup file.    For example, let us assume that you have a schedule for days 1 - 3 in your schedule and you have a schedule for days 1 - 5 in your backup file.    If you select “Append”, you will have a
152  schedule with 8 days.    In this case, three days of the schedule could possibly be redundant.    If you select “Overwrite”, you will have days 1 – 5 from your schedule back-up, and days 1 – 3 of the original schedule will be deleted.    If you don't want to “Append” or “Overwrite”, press “Space-4” once more, locate “Cancel”, and press “Enter” on it.  7.10.3 Set Backup Options  To backup your schedule, you can backup your schedule manually by activating the “Backup Schedule” function.    You can also backup the schedule automatically by activating the “Set Backup Options” function.   To activate the “Set Backup Options” function, press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2” to open up the menu.    Next press “Space-4” or “Space-1” repeatedly to locate “Set Backup Options”.  Then, press “Enter” on “Set Backup Options”.    Or, while you are in the menu, you can press “e (dots 1-5)” to jump directly to “Set Backup Options”.    You can also activate the “Set Backup Options” function without opening up the menu by pressing “Enter-e (dots 1-5)”.  If you activate this 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 move between the 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 created automatically if you have modified your schedule or added other information before exiting the schedule manager. 2.  If you select the “Manual backup”, a new backup file will not be created, even though there have been changes made to your schedule.    If you select this option, you can only make a new backup
153  file by using the “Backup Schedule” menu. 3.  If you select “Prompt backup changes when exiting”, you will see the message “Backup changes? Yes” if you have modified your schedule or added other information before exiting the schedule manager.    If you press “Enter” on “Yes”, a new backup file will be created, and you will exit the schedule manager.    If you press “Space-4” once, and press “Enter” on “No”, you will exit the schedule manager, and a new backup file will not be created.  You can change the backup mode if you press “Enter” after focusing on one of the three radio buttons.  Or, press “tab (“Space-4-5”), and press “Enter” on “Confirm”.    The default backup mode is set to “Prompt backup changes when exiting”.  7.11 Set Alarm Options  You can open the “Set Alarm Options” dialog box by pressing “Enter-o (dots 1-3-5)”, or by pressing “Enter” on “Set Alarm Options” in the menu by pressing “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2” in the “Schedule manager”.   This dialog box has a list of alarm option fields, a “Confirm” button, and a “Cancel” button.    Alarm option fields include “Alarm duration”, “Alarm repeat interval” and “Repeat”.    You can move between these fields by pressing “Space-1” or “Space-4”.    You can access the “Confirm” and “Cancel” buttons by pressing “tab (“Space-4-5”)” or “shift-tab (“Space-1-2”)”.  7.11.1 Alarm Duration  With this option, you can change the duration of the alarm sound.  You can set this option to a value that is between 5 and 600 seconds.    The default value is set to 30 seconds.    You should enter the number in Computer Braille or Uncontracted Braille, without a number sign.    Press “Enter” to save the changes, and exit from the dialog box.    If you want to set the “Alarm repeat interval” in the next field, you should press “Space-4” to move to it.
154  7.11.2 Alarm Repeat Interval Time  When the alarm goes off, if you do not stop it by pressing “Backspace-Enter”, the Braille Sense OnHand will keep giving you a notice about the appointment after a specified time interval.    The “Alarm repeat interval” option allows you to change this interval.    You can set the value anywhere from 1 to 60 minutes, and the default value is set to 5 minutes.   When you want to change the value, type in a number between 1 and 60 in Computer Braille, or Uncontracted Braille. You can type these numbers without a number sign.    After entering the number, press “Enter” to save the changes, and exit from the dialog box.    Or, if you press “tab (“Space-4-5”)”, the Braille Sense OnHand will move to the “Repeat” edit box.  7.11.3 Repetition Times  The alarm will make a sound as the amount of time that you changed the alarm duration and it then stops. After a specified time interval, you will hear again the alarm sound.  “Repeat” is a field, which allows you to decide how many times the alarm will sound.   You can set the value from 1 time to 10 times, and the default value is set to 3 times. To change the value, you type in a number between 1 and 10.    After entering the number, you press “tab (“Space-4-5”)”, and press “Enter” on the “Confirm” button.  Or, if you press “Enter” on the “Repeat” edit box, the changed options will be saved, and the dialog box will be closed.  An alarm will repeat according to the number of times that you set for this option and will then stop automatically.    The Braille display on the Braille Sense OnHand will also display the “date” and “subject” for the alarm.  7.11.4 Confirm
155  By pressing “Enter” on the “Confirm” button, you will save the changed settings, and close the “Set Alarm Options” dialog box.  7.11.5 Cancel  If you press “Enter” on the “Cancel” button, or press “Space-e (dots 1-5)” or “Space-z (dots 1-3-5-6)”, the previous option settings will be restored and “Set Alarm Options” dialog box will be closed.  7.12 Synchronizing With Microsoft Outlook  The “Schedule manager” can be synchronized with Microsoft Outlook on your personal computer to help you keep track of your appointments.

213  9. Media Player  The Media Player on the Braille Sense OnHand is a program which you can use to play audio files.    The Media Player will play the following formats, ac3, asf, asx, m3u, mp2, mp3, mp4, mpa, mpg, ogg, pls,, wav, wax, wma, flac, midi and wmv. Note that you will not be able to see the video with “avi” and “wmv” files.  You can control the playing of audio files using either the Braille keyboard commands or audio keys that are on the front panel of the Braille Sense OnHand. The Media Player can play back recorded voices as well as music files.  9.1 Using the Audio Buttons  There are a series of buttons on the front panel of the Braille Sense OnHand.    These buttons can be used to control the Media Player.    You will find five buttons on the Braille Sense OnHand.    Starting from the left, and going to the right, the buttons are called: “previous”, “record”, “stop”, “play/pause”, and “next”.    These buttons are used for playing and recording music or voice quickly and easily.  If the “play/pause” button is pressed while you are using a program other than the Media Player, the Braille Sense OnHand will play the files in the play list.    If there are no files in the play list, the Braille Sense OnHand says, “There are no items to display”.    The other buttons, “previous”, “stop”, and “next” are available after you start playing audio by pressing the “play/pause” button.   Even if the Media Player starts when you press the “play/pause” button while you are using another program, the Braille Sense OnHand will not stop the program that is currently running.  9.1.1 Play/Pause Button  The “play/pause” button has a long, rectangle shape. To locate the “play/pause” button, find the button that is furthest to the right on the
214  front panel.    Then, move one button to the left.    This is the “play/pause” button.  With the “play/pause” button, you can easily play audio files registered in the play list.    If there are no files that have been registered in the play list, the Braille Sense OnHand will display the message, “There are no items to display”.    You have to add a file to the play list before it can be played.    There is a detailed explanation on how to add files to the play list in section 9.2.2.    If there is more than one file in the play list when you press the “play/pause” button, the Braille Sense OnHand will start playing all the files in the list one after another.    If you press the “play/pause” button again while a file is being played, the playback will be paused.    If you want to resume playing, press the button again.    If you press the “play/pause” button while you are in the “record” dialog box, the sound that was recorded most recently will be played back to you.  9.1.2 Next button and previous button  These buttons have a triangular shape.  The “previous” button is the first button from the left on the front panel, and it points to the left.    The “next” button is the button that is farthest to the right on the front panel, and it points to the right.    If you press the “next” button, the next file in the play list will be played, and pressing the “previous” button will play the previous file.    If you press one of these buttons while an audio file is being played, the Braille Sense OnHand will stop playing the current file, and jump to the previous or next file (depending on which button you press) in the play list, and start playing it.    If you press the “next” button (while the last file in the list is being played), or the “previous” button (while the first file in the list is being played), it will have no effect, as the Braille Sense OnHand will not stop playing the current file.  9.1.3 Record Button  The “record” button has a circular shape, and is used to record sound using the built-in or an external microphone.    The “record” button is located directly to the right of the “previous” button.    To use this button to record sound, you should be either in the “Media Player”, or in the

If you press “Space-4”, the Braille Sense OnHand will display playback time information.   First, the elapsed or remaining time will be displayed.    You can set whether the elapsed time or remaining time will be displayed, using the “playback settings” dialog box as explained in section 9.3.6.2.    If you have selected the “Remaining time” with this option, the - (minus sign), will be displayed before the time.    Next to the elapsed/remaining time, the Braille Sense OnHand will display the total playback time of the currently selected file. If there are no files in the play list, “Time: There are no items to display” will be displayed.  9.2.2 Play List Tab  The “play list” tab displays all the files in the play list.    For each file in the play list, it displays the track number, file name, the current place of the file in the list, and the total number of files in the list.    If there is no
217  file in the play list, the Braille Sense OnHand will display the message “no items 0 of 0”.   For example, if you had the following track on the Braille Sense OnHand:  “Track 1  Chopin – Fantasie Impromptu  1/10”, then “Track 1” means this file is the first item in the play list.    “Chopin – Fantasie Impromptu” is the file name.    “1/10” means the file is the first of ten files in the play list.    Whenever you register an audio file using the “File” menu (as explained in section 9.3.1), the file is added to the play list.  9.2.3 Hot Keys in the Play Information Tab and the Play List Tab  The hot keys that can be used in the “playback information” and the “play list” tabs are as follows:  1)  Hot keys in the Play Information Tab  Hot key  Function Space-4  Move to the next information Space-1  Move to the previous information Space  “Pause” when it is play state and “play” when it is pause state.

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.
272  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 OnHand 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 OnHand 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 OnHand will show control symbols ahead of the contents of the control. The followings are a list of control symbols.  Control name  Symbol Link LN Visited link  LNV Anchor ANC Edit box  EB Multi edit box  MEB List Box  LB Combo box  CB Radio button select  SRB Radio button  URB
273  unselect Check box check  SCHB 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. 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. 6.  Radio button, check box: In order to select or cancel the selection, press “Enter”. 7.  Button: If you press “Enter” on a button, you will move to the 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.
274  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 OnHand 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 OnHand will play the warning sound. If there are no forms on a web page, the Braille Sense OnHand will say, “no control”.  11.7.3 Table  At the beginning position of the table, the Braille Sense OnHand 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 OnHand 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 OnHand 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 OnHand.  The Braille Sense OnHand 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 OnHand will announce, “row 2 cell 3 news”.    In this case, “row 2
275  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 OnHand 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
276  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
277  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”.  For other formats besides above 4 formats, if you press “Enter” on it, the Web browser program will play the streaming audio file directly. When you play the streaming audio file in the Web browser, the “Add To Favorites” dialog box will be appeared in order to quickly play the file later through the File Manager or Web browser program. You can then add the streaming address into “Favorite list” and the streaming file will be saved with “ASF-” at the begging of file name. “ASF” denotes that the link is a streaming audio file.  While you play a streaming audio file in the Web Browser, if you exit the Web browser program or you lost the internet connection, the streaming audio file will be stopped playing. You can use following playback commands in Web browser while playing any streaming audio file.  1.  Play: “play” button on the front panel 2.  Stop: “stop” button on the front panel 3.  Turn up the volume: Space-up scroll button 4.  Turn down the volume: Space-down scroll button  Playback of a streaming audio file does not stop if you switch to another program, until you press the “stop” button on the front panel after you come back to “Web browser”.   You can download real audio files but not play them in the Web Browser.  11.8 Hot keys in the Web Browser  File Menu Open URL: Enter-u (dots 1-3-6) Open: Enter-o (dots 1-3-5) Save as: Space-s (dots 2-3-4) Page information: Enter-i (dots 2-4)

It is because the operating system on the Braille Sense OnHand is different from the operating system on a personal computer. 3.  A web page using flash can be opened, but the flash content may not be read. 4.  Some web pages that use JavaScript cannot be opened.
281  12. DAISY Player  Using the Daisy player, on the Braille Sense OnHand, you can listen to files and read books that use the DAISY format.    DAISY is an acronym for (DIGITAL ACCESSIBLE INFORMATION SYSTEM).  One advantage to DAISY books is that you can listen to the audio as well as read the associated text with the audio.  The Braille Sense OnHand supports DAISY books that are version 3.0 or earlier.    When you want to run the player, press “Enter” on “Daisy player” in the “program” menu, or press the shortcut key “d (dots 1-4-5)” in the Braille Sense OnHand “program” menu.    When you run the Daisy player, you will see all of the disks available on the Braille Sense OnHand (regardless of whether each disk has DAISY-formatted files or not).  You can navigate through the list with “Space-1” or “Space-4”.    You can open a disk containing DAISY-formatted files by pressing “Enter” on the name of the disk.   After opening the disk, you will find all of the folders that are on the disk, and any DAISY file titles that are on the disk that you have opened.   Once you find a DAISY file that you want to open, press “Space” to select it.    Then, press “Enter” to play the file.  If you have DAISY files in a folder on a disk, you can go in to the folder by pressing “Enter” on the folder.    Make sure that you do not press “Space” on the folder.    You will find all of the folders on the disk, and you can navigate through the disk by using the same navigation keys that are used in the file manager.    Then, you can go to the folder that has the DAISY files that you want to read or listen to.    Press “Space” to select the folder, and press “Enter” to play the DAISY file.    If you only have one DAISY file, it will automatically start playing after showing the title. You can play the DAISY file by pressing “Enter” on the selected file after navigating the file list with “Space-1” or “Space-4”.    If you replay a file that you have listened to before, you can start listening to the file at the location where you stopped earlier. While playing Text Daisy with voice off, “Read from cursor to end” won't work. To stop playing a file, press “Space-z (dots 1-3-5-6)”, which will move you to the prompt box.   Once there, you can select “Yes” or “No” with “Space” or “Backspace”.   When you want to exit from the Daisy player, press “Space-z (dots 1-3-
282  5-6)”, which will move you to the prompt box.    Once in the prompt box, you can select “Yes” or “No” with “Space” or “Backspace”.  You can open the Daisy player menu by pressing “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2” when you are in the Daisy player.    In the menu, you will find “File”, “Document”, “Mark”, and “Heading”.    You can move between these menu items with “Space-1” or “Space-4”, and press “Enter” when you want to activate the selected menu item.  You can also play the DAISY contents using the audio buttons on the front panel.

297  13. Bluetooth Manager  The Braille Sense OnHand 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 OnHand, you must change the Bluetooth option to “On” in the option menu. Please refer to the section 3.38 in this user manual.  Bluetooth on the Braille Sense OnHand allows you to transfer files from the Braille Sense OnHand to a computer, use the Internet connection your computer is using, or use the Braille Sense OnHand as a wireless Braille display.    To use the Braille Sense OnHand as a wireless Braille display, you must be running the screen readers; Window-Eyes or Supernova.  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 OnHand uses the built-in Bluetooth manager program to allow the user to use the Bluetooth functionality in the Braille Sense OnHand.    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 the “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
298  OnHand 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 OnHand announces “Found (Bluetooth device name)”. Until the end of scanning all devices, any keys on the Braille Sense OnHand 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 OnHand does not recognize it, the Braille Sense OnHand will say the message, “Bluetooth not activated”. Then, the Braille Sense OnHand will automatically exit the Bluetooth Manager.  Once the Braille Sense OnHand 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 OnHand will say “no items 0/0”.  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 OnHand.    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 OnHand will say “Device settings removed”.    Removing this setting will apply only to the current device.
299  Once the Braille Sense OnHand 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)” or “F2” 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 OnHand a specific name.   The default name for the Bluetooth device name is “Braille Sense OnHand”.    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 OnHand 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)”.
300  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)” or “F2” 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 OnHand will begin scanning services that are available from the remote Bluetooth device.    The Braille Sense OnHand support the services:    LAN, FTP, ActiveSync, Serial port, Headset, 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 OnHand will only display LAN and FTP.  Once the Braille Sense OnHand 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 OnHand 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”,
301  “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. Please refer to Section 13.1 (Bluetooth Device List).  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 OnHand 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)” or “F2” 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 OnHand 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)” or “F2” 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.
302  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 OnHand, then the service will authenticate. If this occurs, you will hear, “ Connection succeeded”. 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 OnHand 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 OnHand 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.
303   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 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 OnHand 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 OnHand 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.
304  The remote folder list is very similar to the File Manager.    With the FTP service, you can perform the following functions: 1. Copy 2. Paste 3. Send To 4. Retrieve File 5. New Folder 6. Delete File/Folder 7.  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”. 8. Select All 9. 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 OnHand.    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:  1.  After you connect to the FTP service, you will be in the remote folder list.    While in the remote folder list, you should press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2” to open the FTP menu.  Then, you should press “Space-1” or “Space-4” to navigate to “Open Local Folder”, and press “Enter”.    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
305  a 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.    You can refer to chapter 4 of this manual to find the various file manager commands.    Note that you cannot select folders.    You can only select files.    If you try to select a folder, the Braille Sense OnHand 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”.    While pasting, you will hear a sound that indicates that the Braille Sense OnHand is working.    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 sent”, where xxx is the name of the file.    If the file is not pasted successfully, you will hear, “xxx file not sent”. After the file is pasted successfully, you will also hear, “Successfully sent”, 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:
306  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 4 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”.    You can also activate this function without calling up the menu by pressing “Enter-c (dots 1-4)”.    Note that you cannot copy folders to send to the local folder. 3.  Next, it will open the “Local folder”. You will see the Disk list, just like when you open the file manager. You will be taken to “flashdisk” by default. However, if you have a SD card or USB memory stick inserted, you can navigate to those disks by pressing “Space-1”or “Space-4”. Please refer to chapter 3 in this manual regarding navigation keys in the File manager. 4.  After entering a disk, open the menu by pressing “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)”.    Then, move to “Paste” with “Space-1” or “Space-4”, and press “Enter”.    You can also activate this function without calling up the menu by pressing “Enter-v (dots 1-2-3-6)”.    While pasting, you will hear a sound that indicates that the Braille Sense OnHand is working.   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. 5.  When the file has been pasted successfully, you will see the message, “xxx file retrieved”, where xxx is the name of the file.    If the file is not pasted successfully, you will hear, “xxx file not retrieved”. After the file is pasted successfully, you will also hear, “Retrieve completed”, and you will be returned to the local folder list.  13.2.3.2 Send To  This function will allow you to send files from the local folder list to the remote folder list.    It is only available in the local folder list.    This is very similar to the copy and paste function.  The difference is that you do not
307  have to paste the file to the remote folder.    It is done as soon as you activate the “Send To” function.    When you activate this function, the file can only be sent to the root of the remote folder list.    To activate the “Send To” function, perform the following steps:  1.  After the FTP service is connected, you can press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2” while you are in the remote folder list to open the menu.   Then, press “Space-1” or “Space-4” to move to “Open Local Folder”, and press “Enter”.    You can also activate this function without calling up the menu by pressing “Enter-o (dots 1-3-5)”. 2.  After you have activated this function, you will see the disk list, just like when you open the file manager.    You will be taken to “flashdisk” by default.  However, if you have a SD memory card or USB memory stick inserted, you can navigate to those disks by pressing “Space-1” or “Space-4”.    Please refer to chapter 4 in this manual regarding navigation keys in the File manager. 3.  Then, select a file by pressing “Space” on the file.    You can only select files and not folders. 4.  After you have selected a file, press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)”, and then press “Space-1” or “Space-4” to move to “Send To”, and press “Enter”.   Or, you can press “Enter-s (dots 2-3-4)” to activate the “Send To” function without having to call up the “menu”. 5.  Just like copying and pasting, you will hear a sound that indicates that the Braille Sense OnHand is working.    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.    When the transfer has completed, you will hear, “xxx file sent”, where xxx is the name of the file.    If the file does not transfer, you will hear, “xxx file not sent”.    Once all of the files have been transferred completely, you will hear, “Successfully sent”, and you will be returned to the remote folder list.
308  13.2.3.3 Retrieve File  The “Retrieve File” function will allow you to retrieve a file from the remote folder list, and move it to the local folder.    This function is available while in the remote folder list.    You can only save files to the “flashdisk/download” folder with this function.  Perform the following steps to activate the “Retrieve File” function: 1.  After you have connected the FTP service, you will be connected to the remote folder list.    You can navigate through the list using the same commands as in the File manager.    You can reference these commands by referring to chapter 4 of this manual. 2.  Select the file that you want to retrieve by pressing the “Space” on it.   Note that you cannot select folders. 3.  After you have selected the file, press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2” to open the menu, and then use “Space-1” or “Space-4” to move to “Retrieve File”, and press “Enter”.    You can also activate this function without calling up the menu by press “Enter-r (dots 1-2-3-5)”. 4.  Just like copying and pasting, you will hear a sound that indicates that the Braille Sense OnHand is working.    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.    When the transfer has completed, you will hear, “xxx file retrieved”, where xxx is the name of the file.    If the file does not transfer, you will hear, “xxx file not retrieved”.    Once all of the files have been transferred completely, you will hear, “Retrieve completed”, and you will be returned to the remote folder list.  13.2.3.4 New Folder  The “New Folder” function will allow you to create a new folder in the local folder list or the remote folder list.    To create a new folder, perform the following steps:  1.  After the FTP service has connected, navigate to the local or remote folder list and move to the folder where you want to make new folder.
309  You can move between the “remote folder list” and “local folder list” by pressing “Enter-o (dots 1-3-5)”. And how to move among the items in the folder list is the same as how to move in the File manager. 2.  Press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” to open the menu, and then use “Space-1”or “Space-4” to navigate to “New Folder”, and press “Enter”. Or, you can activate this function without calling up the menu by pressing “Enter-f (dots 1-2-4)”.You will then see an edit box that says, “New folder name:”.    Type in the new folder name using ASCII characters, and then press “Enter”.    If the folder is created successfully, you will hear, “Folder successfully created”.    You will then be automatically returned to the list that you were in, whether it was the remote or local folder list. 3.  To cancel any changes that you made, press “Space-z (dots 1-3-5-6)”, and you will be returned to the previous list.  13.2.3.5 Delete File/Folder  This function will allow you to delete files or folders in the remote or local folder list.    Note that if a folder contains folders, you will not be able to delete the folder.    To activate this function, perform the following steps:  1.  After you have connected to the FTP service, navigate to the local or remote folder list, and select the file(s) or folder(s) that you want to delete by pressing the “Space” on them.  The navigation keys are exactly the same as when using the file manager.    To reference these keys, please refer to chapter 3 of this manual. You can move to between “remote folder list” and “local folder list” by pressing “Enter-o (dots 1-3-5)”. 2.  Once you have selected the file(s) or folder(s), press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)”, and then use “Space-1” or “Space-4” to move to “Delete File/Folder”, and press “Enter”.    You can also activate this function without calling up the menu by pressing “Space-d (dots 1-4-5)”. 3.  If the file(s) or folder(s) is/are deleted successfully, you will hear, “Successfully deleted”.
310  13.2.3.6 Information  This function will allow you to check information regarding files or folders that are located in the remote or local folder list.    You can activate this function by performing the following steps:  1.  After you have connected to the FTP service, navigate to the local or remote folder list, and select the file or folder that you want to know information about.    The navigation keys are exactly the same as when using the file manager.    To reference these keys, please refer to chapter 4 in this manual. 2.  Then, press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2” to open the menu, and then use “Space-1” or “Space-4” to move to “Information”, and press “Enter”.    Or, you can activate this function without calling up the menu by pressing “Enter-i (dots 2-4)”. 3.  After you have activated the function, you will see the “Information dialog box”, which consists of “Type”, “Size”, “Date”, “Attribute”, “Confirm”, and “Cancel”.  You can move between these controls by pressing “tab (“Space-4-5”)” or “shift-tab (“Space-1-2”)”.  If you select multiple files, the “Information” function will display the number of selected files and size.  13.2.4 ActiveSync Service  This service works the same way as when you connect the Braille Sense OnHand to a computer via a USB cable, and use ActiveSync.    If the connection succeeds when activating it by pressing “Enter” on ActiveSync, you will hear the sound that ActiveSync makes when there is a successful connection.    Just as with all of the Bluetooth services, the remote Bluetooth device may need to authorize the Braille Sense OnHand.    You will then be returned to the Bluetooth Service list.    Just like using ActiveSync via USB, you can copy and paste files from the Braille Sense OnHand from the remote Bluetooth device to the Braille Sense OnHand and visa versa.
311  If you want to disconnect the service, you can press “Enter-d (dots 1-4-5)” while in the Bluetooth Manager, and the Braille Sense OnHand will say, “Disconnect from service”, and you will be returned to the Bluetooth Service list.    You will no longer see the word “Connected” after ActiveSync in the Bluetooth Service List. You cannot use ActiveSync via USB and Bluetooth at the same time.    If the remote Bluetooth device is connected via USB and using ActiveSync, you must disconnect the remote Bluetooth device in order to use the ActiveSync service via Bluetooth.  13.2.5 Serial Port  If you connect this service, you should not connect the other services.   The Serial Port service will allow you to use your Braille Sense OnHand as a wireless Braille display via Bluetooth.    In order to use the Braille Sense OnHand as a wireless Bluetooth display, please reference the following sections.  Note that you must be using Window-Eyes in order to use the Braille Sense OnHand as a wireless Braille display.    Note that following explanation is how to use the serial port when the Window-Eyes is installed as a screen reader program in PC.    If you are using Supernova as a screen reader, please contact HIMS by e-mail. The e-mail id of HIMS is hims@himsintl.com.  13.2.5.1 Setting up the Braille Sense OnHand to Work as a Bluetooth Braille Display  The following steps will walk you through setting up the Braille Sense OnHand to work as a Bluetooth Braille display.  These instructions assume that you already have Bluetooth installed on your computer.   The following instructions assume that you are running Window-Eyes 5.5, or greater, and at least Windows XP, Service Pack 2.    Before starting, make sure that your Braille Sense OnHand is turned on.   Although it may not be necessary, you should close all applications that are running on the Braille Sense OnHand, and be in the Program menu for best performance.    If you have more than one Braille Sense
312  OnHand, make sure that only the Braille Sense OnHand that you want to configure is turned on.  13.2.5.2 Setting up the Computer  1.  Navigate to the Bluetooth icon in the System Tray.    You may do this in Windows XP by pressing “windows key-b”, and then use the Right or Left Arrow Keys until you reach the Bluetooth icon. Then, press the “context menu key”.    Note that if you don’t have the Bluetooth icon in the System Tray, you may have to change the settings for the Bluetooth icon to appear. Go to the Windows Control Panel, Bluetooth Devices, Options, and then check the check box that says “Show the Bluetooth Icon in the Notification Area”. 2.

For example, you might type, “1111”.
313  14.  Press “Enter”.    Windows will then begin exchanging the passkeys, and a new dialog will appear on the computer. 15.  The Braille Sense OnHand will then ask for the passkey by saying, “Computer Edit Box PIN code:”    Using the same passkey that was typed in to the computer, type in the same passkey on the Braille Sense OnHand and press “Enter” on the Braille Sense OnHand. 16.  The computer will say the message, “Found new hardware” and the final dialog should appear on the computer.    Remember that you can press “ctrl-shift-w” to have the entire dialog read using Window-Eyes.   The dialog should display that the Bluetooth device was successfully set up.    It is very important to note the COM ports for the outgoing COM port and the incoming COM port.    For example, the outgoing COM port may be COM 5, and the incoming COM port may be COM 6.    Do not be surprised if your COM ports are not set to COM 5 and COM 6.    The COM ports used can vary from computer to computer. 17.  Press “tab” to get to the Finish button, and then press “Enter” to activate it. 18.  You will then be taken back to the Bluetooth devices setting dialog.   Press Ctrl-Tab twice to focus the COM ports tab control. 19.  Press “tab” to get to the list of COM ports, and then press the Down Arrow to move through the list of COM ports to make sure that they match the COM ports that were mentioned when you completed the Bluetooth device wizard.    You should hear your first COM port, then the direction, and then the name.    After you press “down” Arrow again, you should hear the next COM port, the direction, and name.   For example, when you press the “down arrow” key the first time, you might hear, “COM 5 Outgoing Windows CE Blue Tooth Serial”.   When you press the “down arrow” key a second time, you might hear, “COM 6 Incoming WindowsCE”. 20.  Tab to the OK button, and press Enter.

331  15. 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-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2” to open the menu.    Move to “Exit” by pressing “Space-1” or “Space-4” (or Left or down scroll button) repeatedly, and press “Enter”. Or you can type “z (dots 1-3-5-6)” in the menu.  The major navigation keys that can be used in this program are as follows.  1.  Moving by controls Move to the previous control: Shift-Tab (Space-1-2 or Space-F3) Move to the next control: Tab (Space-4-5 or F3) 2.  Moving in a list box Move to the previous list item: Space-1 or up scroll button Move to the next list item: Space-4 or down scroll button 3.  Changing the selection in a prompt box Select the next value: Space-4, Space or down scroll button Select the previous value: Space-1, Backspace or up scroll button
332  The menu in the database manager consists of the following items.   You can open this menu by pressing “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2”.  1.  Table manager: Here you can create, delete, and modify tables, records, and their fields.    When you run the database manager for the first time, the “Table Manager” dialog box will appear. 2.  Insert a new record : You can add records to the current table. 3.  Search records : You can search records in the current table.    You can also search each field in the table. 4.  List of records found : You can use this menu item to go through a list of records found in the table by the previous search.    Here, you can delete or modify each record in the list.    If you didn’t search for anything before you use this function, the message, “no items”, will be displayed. 5.  Set backup options: You can select the method to back up the database. 6.  Backup database: You can backup all database files that are used in the database manager. 7.  Restore database: You can restore the database files that are backed up already. 8.  Exit: It is used to close the database manager.  Each of these menu items will be discussed in the following sections below.  15.1 Table Manager  The “Table Manager” dialog box is where you can create, delete, or modify a table.    This dialog box contains the following controls.  1.  Table name list: It displays the name of registered tables, and their order in the list. 2.  Add table button: Using this option, you can create a new table. 3.  Modify table button: Using this option, you can change the name of a table, or modify the structure of the table, by adding or deleting fields.
333  4.  Delete table button: Using this option, you can delete the table that you have selected in the table name list. 5.  Set default table button: Using this option, you can set the table that opens by default when you run the program. 6.  Close button: After closing the “Table Manager” dialog box, it will take you back to where you were before you started the “Table Manager” dialog box. When there is no registered table, if you press “Enter” at the “Close” button, the database manager program will be closed.  You can move between each of these controls by pressing “tab (“Space-4-5”)” or “shift-tab (“Space-1-2”)”.  15.1.1 Add Table  “Add table” is a dialog box where you can create a new table.    This dialog box contains “Table name” edit box, “registered fields” list, “Add field” button, “Modify field” button, “Delete field” button, “Previous field” button, “Next field” button, “Confirm” button and “Cancel” button.    You can move between these controls by pressing “tab (“Space-4-5”)” or “shift-tab (“Space-1-2”)”.  Suppose you want to create a table called “addressbook” which contains 4 fields: name, telephone, address, and memo.    You can create this table as follows.  1.  In the “Table Manager” dialog box, press “tab (“Space-4-5”)” to move to the “Add table” button, and press “Enter”. Or you can just press “a (dot 1)” in the dialog box. 2.  Then, the “Add Table” dialog box will appear, and the “Table name” edit box will be focused. 3.  Type “address book” and then press “tab (“Space-4-5”)”. 4.  Then, the “registered fields” list will be focused.    At first, “no items 0/0” will be displayed in the list.    As you add fields to this table, they will be added to this list box. 5.  Press “tab (“Space-4-5”)” to move to the “Add field” button, and press “Enter”.    Or you can just press its shortcut key, “a (dot 1)”.
334  6.  Then the “Add field” dialog box will be opened, and the “Field name” edit box will be focused. 7.  Type “name” here, and then press “tab (“Space-4-5”)”. 8.  Then, the “Field type” combo box will be focused.    Press “Space-4” or “Space-1” to move to “edit box”, and press “tab (“Space-4-5”)”. 9.  The “Set primary key” check box will be focused.    If you want to set the current field as the primary key, press “Space” in order to check it. 10.  Press “tab (“Space-4-5”)” to move to the “Confirm” button, and press “Enter”.    Now, the “name” field has been added to the “address book” table.  If you want to cancel adding the field, press “tab (“Space-4-5”)” once more to move to the “Cancel” button, and press “Enter”.    If you have added a new field, you will get a message saying that a new field has been added.  Then, the “registered fields” list will be shown again.   Now, “name” field appears in the list, with the form, “name (edit box, pri) 1/1”.    Since only one primary key exists in a table, if you have set a field as the primary key, the “Set primary key” check box will not be shown in the “Add field” dialog box when you add another field.    Add the “telephone”, “address”, and “memo” fields by repeating the step 5 through 10 above.    Note that you may want to set the “Field type” of “telephone” field to “number”, “address” to “edit box”, and “memo” to “multi edit box”.    Once you have added all of the fields you want, press “tab (“Space-4-5”)” to move to the “Confirm” button, and press “Enter”.  If you need to change a name of a field that is registered, move to a field name that you want to change on a “registered fields” list.    Then press “m (dots 1-3-4)” or “tab (“Space-4-5”)”, and enter on a “Modify field”. It appears as “Field name: (selected filed name)”, here you type the Name you want, and press “Enter”. Even though you can change a name of a field, it is not possible to change the property of that field.  If you want to delete an already registered field, press “Space-1” or “Space-4” repeatedly in the “registered fields” list to move to the name of the field you want to delete.    And then press “tab (“Space-4-5”)” repeatedly move to “Delete field” button and press enter or press “d
335  (dots 1-4-5)”, the shortcut key for the “Delete field” button.    Or you can also press “tab (“Space-4-5”)” repeatedly to move to the “Delete field” button and press “Enter”.  To change the order of a field, which is in your table, you can move to the field that you want to change.    This can be done when you are in the “registered fields” list.    Once you are on the field, press “p (dots 1-2-3-4)” or “n (dots 1-3-4-5)”. Or you press “tab (“Space-4-5”)” and enter on a “Previous field” button or “Next field” button.  Then, the “Add Table” dialog box will be closed, and the “table name” list box will be shown again.    The newly created table will be added to this list, and “address book 1/1” will be shown in the list.    To close the “Table Manager” dialog box, press “tab (“Space-4-5”) to move to the “Close” button, and press “Enter”.    Or you can just press “Space-z (dots 1-3-5-6)” to close the dialog box.    Then, the “Search (table name)” dialog box will be opened, and the “name” field, the first field of the “address book” table, will be shown.    Here, you can type the name you want to search for.  15.1.2 Modify Table  “Modify table” is used to modify the name or structure of a registered table.  It contains the same controls as in the “Add Table” dialog box.   To modify a table, press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or F2 to open the menu, and press “Enter” on “Table Manager”. Or you can just press the hotkey for “Table Manager”, “Enter-t (dots 2-3-4-5)”.    The “table name” list will be focused when the “Table Manager” dialog box is opened.  Press “Space-1” or “Space-4” to move to the table that you want to modify, and press “m (dots 1-3-4)”, the shortcut key for the “Modify table” button.    Or you can press “tab (“Space-4-5”)” repeatedly to move to the “Modify table” button, and press “Enter”. Then, a dialog box where you can modify the table will appear.    This table is same as the “Add Table” dialog box.  The only difference is that the “Table name” edit box, and “registered fields” list contain the information already stored in the table. You can not change the name of table.
336  If you want to add additional fields, press “tab (“Space-4-5”)” to move to “Add field” and press “Enter”.    And then type in the new field name and press “Enter”. If you want to delete an already registered field, press “Space-1” or “Space-4” repeatedly in the “registered fields” list to move to the name of the field you want to delete.    And then press “tab (“Space-4-5”)” repeatedly move to “Delete field” button and press enter or press “d (dots 1-4-5)”, the shortcut key for the “Delete field” button.   Or you can also press “tab (“Space-4-5”)” repeatedly to move to the “Delete field” button and press “Enter”.  To change the order of a field, which is in your table, you can move to the field that you want to change.    This can be done when you are in the “registered fields” list.    Once you are on the field, press “p (dots 1-2-3-4)” or “n (dots 1-3-4-5)”.    Or you press “tab (“Space-4-5”)” and enter on a “Previous field” button or “Next field” button.  If you need to change a name of a field that is registered, move to a field name that you want to change on a “registered fields” list.    Then press “m (dots 1-3-4)” or “tab (“Space-4-5”)”, and enter on a “Modify field”.    It appears as “Field name: (selected filed name)”, here you type the Name you want, and press “Enter”. Even though you can change a name of a field, it is not possible to change the property of that field.  15.1.3 Delete table  This option is used when you want to delete a table.    To delete a table, Press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2” to open the menu, and press “Enter” on “Table Manager”.    Or you can press “Enter-t (dots 2-3-4-5)”, the hotkey for “Table Manager”. When the “Table Manager” dialog box is opened, the “Table name” edit box will be focused.    In this list box, you can move to the name of the table you want to delete by pressing “Space-4” or “Space-1” repeatedly, and press “d (dots 1-4-5)”, the shortcut key for the “Delete table” button.    Or you can press “tab (“Space-4-5”)” repeatedly to move to the “Delete table” button, and press “Enter”. Then, “Delete table? Yes” will be displayed.    If you want to
337  delete, press “Enter”, and if you want to cancel, press “Space” to select “No”, and press “Enter”.  15.1.4 Set Default Table  When you set a table as the default table, whenever the database manager is started, the table will be activated and you will be placed in the search dialog.    You can search and add fields on this table.    If you have registered more than one table and there is a table you use more frequently than the others, it may be convenient for you to set this table as the default table.    However, if no table has been set as the default table, the table that was used the last time will be activated when the database manager is started.    To set a table as the default table, press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2” to open the menu, and press “Enter” on table manager.    Or you can also press “Enter-t (dots 2-3-4-5)”, the hotkey for “Table Manager”. Then, the “Table Manager” dialog box will appear, and the “table name” list will be focused.  In this list, press “Space-4” or “Space-1” repeatedly to move to the name of the table you want to set as the default table.    Then press “s (dots 2-3-4)”, the shortcut key for the “Set default table”, or press “tab (“Space-4-5”)” repeatedly to move to the “Set default table” button and press “Enter”.   Or you can press “Enter” on the name of the table in the “table name” list.   Then, you will get a message saying that the table is set as the default table, and the “Table Manager” dialog box will be closed.  15.2 Insert a New Record  You can use this option to add information to a table that you have created.    When the database manager is started, the “Search Records” dialog box will be opened at first.    To open the “Insert a New Record” dialog box, press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2” to open the menu, and press “Enter” on “Insert a New Record”.    Or instead of using the menu, you can just press “Enter-i (dots 2-4)”.    You can think of a record as a collection of information (fields) for an object (record).    Let’s consider the “address book” table you created in the previous section.    Adding records to this table can be performed as follows.
338   1.  Press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2” to open the menu, and press “Enter” on “Insert a New Record”. Or instead of using the menu, just press “Enter-i (dots 2-4)”. 2.  Then the “name” field, the first field in the “address book” table, will be shown.    Here, you type the name you want to add, and press “tab (“Space-4-5”)”. 3.  Then, the “telephone” field will be focused.    Here, type the phone number.    Since this field is of “number” type, you can type only a limited set of characters such as numbers and hyphen.    You can enter a number without the leading number sign.    If you press “Space” instead of – (hyphen), the hyphen will be entered. 4.  Press “tab (“Space-4-5”)” to move to the “address” field.    Type the address. 5.  Press “tab (“Space-4-5”)” to move to the “memo” field.    Since this field is of “multi edit box” type, you can type multiple lines.    To start a new line, press “Enter”. 6.  Press “tab (“Space-4-5”)” to move to the “Confirm” button.    If you press “Enter” here, the one record that you have just entered will be added to the table.    If you do not want to save the record you have just typed in, press “tab (“Space-4-5”)” once more to move to the “Cancel” button, and press “Enter”. Or you can just press “Space-e (dots 1-5)”.  If you have added a record, the “name” field will be focused again so that you can add another record.  If you press “shift-tab (“Space-1-2”)” at a field, the focus will be moved to the previous field.  To go back to the “Search Records” dialog box, press “Enter-s (dots 2-3-4)”.    To open the “Table Manager” dialog box, press “Enter-t (dots 2-3-4-5)”.    If you open these dialog boxes while you are entering a record, you will be asked if you want to save the record.    Select “Yes” or “No” by pressing “Space” or “Backspace”, and press “Enter”. If you select “Yes”, the record will be saved, and if you select “No”, it will not be saved and open the specified dialog box.    If you select “Cancel”, the dialog box will not be opened.
339   15.3 Search Records  After you have added your records, if you want to search for     information that is in your records, you can use the “Search Records” dialog box.    To open the “Search Records” dialog box, press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2” and press “Enter” on “Search Records”.    Or instead of using the menu, just press “Enter-s (dots 2-3-4)”.    Then, the “Search Records” dialog box will be opened, and the first field of the table will be focused.    Here, you can type the text that you want to search for.    If you want to search for records using content from more than one field, press “tab (“Space-4-5”)” to move to another field.    Type the text to search for, and press “Enter”. Then, the “List of Records Found” will be opened and the search result will be shown in the “List of Records Found”.    Being able to search in more than one field can be useful if you are searching for those who have the same first and last name.    In the “List of Records Found”, each record will be shown in the following form.      “(the name of the first field) : (other information in the record) xx/yy”.    “yy” is the total number of records found, and “xx” is the order of the current record in the list.    If no record has been found, you will get the message “No records found”, and the current field will be shown again, so that you can type another text to search for.    You can move through the “List of Records Found” as follows.  1. Move by records Move to the next record: Space-4 or down scroll button Move to the previous record: Space-1 or up scroll button Move to the last record: Space-4-5-6 Move to previous same field different record: Space-3 Move to next same field different record: Space-6 Move to the first record: Space-1-2-3 2.  Move between the fields in a record Move to the next field: Space-5 Move to the previous field: Space-2 Move to the last field: Space-4-6
340  Move to the first field: Space-1-3  In the “List of Records Found”, if you want to search for different text, you can press “Enter-s (dots 2-3-4)” again to open the “Search Records” dialog box.    Then, type the new text that you want to search for.  If you want to delete a record found, press “Space-1” or “Space-4” to move to the record, and press “Space-d (dots 1-4-5)” in any of the fields in the record.    Then, you will be asked if you really want to delete the record.    Here, you can select “Yes” or “No” by pressing “Space” or “Backspace”.  If you press “Enter” after selecting “Yes”, the record will be deleted, and if you select “No”, the deletion will be canceled.    If you want to search for records in another table, press “Enter-t (dots 2-3-4-5)” to open the “Table Manager” dialog box, and press “Enter” on the name of the table that you want to activate.     If you want to change the content of a record, select the record by pressing “Space-1” or “Space-4” repeatedly.    And press “Enter-m (dots 1-3-4)” at any field in the record.    Then, the same dialog box as the “Insert a New Record” dialog box will be opened.    To change the content of some fields, move to the fields by pressing “tab (“Space-4-5”)”, type the new content of the fields, and press “Enter”. To save the modified content of a record, press “Enter” after typing the contents of all the fields that you want to change.    Or you can move to the “Confirm” button by pressing “tab (“Space-4-5”)” repeatedly, and press “Enter”. If you want to cancel modifying the record, press “tab (“Space-4-5”)” once more to move to the “Cancel” button and press “Enter”.  15.4 List of Records Found  The “List of Records Found” will appear when the “Search Records” was performed successfully.    While you are using the “Insert a New Record” or “Search Records” dialog box, if you want to go to the “List of Records Found”, press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2” to open the menu, and press “Enter” on “List of Records Found”.    Or instead of using the menu, you can just press “Enter-f (dots 1-2-4)”.
341  15.5 Set Backup Options  To backup your database file, you can do it manually using the “Backup Database” function.  You can also backup your database file automatically by using the “Set Backup Options”.  To activate the “Set Backup Option” function, press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2” to open up the menu.    Then press “Space-4” or “Space-1” repeatedly to move “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:    “Manual backup”, “Always backup changes when exiting”, and “prompt to backup changes when exiting”.  1.  If you select the “Manual backup”, it will not create a new backup file even though there may be changes in the database.  In this case, you can only make a new backup file by using the “Backup Database” menu. 2.  If you select the “Always backup changes when exiting”, a new backup file will be automatically created if you modify the database or add other information when you exit the Database manager. 3.  If you select the “Prompt to backup changes when exiting”, you will see the message “Backup changes? Yes” when you exit the database manager, if you have modified the database or added other information.    If you press “Enter” on “Yes”, it will automatically create a new backup file and exit the database manager.  If you press “Space-4” once and press “Enter” on “No”, it will exit without making a new backup file.
342   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 to backup changes when exiting”.  15.6 Backup Database  If a cold reset occurs, or if your battery goes dead, all of the data in the Database manager will be lost.    So, it is very important that you make a backup file every time you make a change to the Database file.    To go to “Backup Database”, open the menu by pressing “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2”.    Then, use the “Space-1” or “Space-4”, and find “Backup Database”.  Then, press “Enter”.  You can also press “u (dots 1-3-6)” while you are in the menu to get to “Backup Database”.    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 hear the message “Backup changes? Yes”.  If you have made any changes to your database file, press “Enter” to create a new backup file.    If you want to keep the previous backup file, press “Space”, locate “No”, and press “Enter” on it.   When you make a backup file in your database manager, you will always have a new backup file with the extension SDF. The name of backup file is “UserDatabase.sdf”  15.7 Restore Database  If you want to restore the database file 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 Database”.    Then, press “Enter” on “Restore Database”.    Or, you can press “r (dots 1-2-3-5)” while you are in the menu to find “Restore Database”.  You can also press “Enter-o (dots 1-3-5)” to activate this function, without calling up the menu.
343  If you activate the “Restore Database” function, and you already have an database file, you will hear the message, “Database file already exists. Restore anyway? Yes”.    If you press “Enter”, the backup database file will be restored to the current database file.    If you want to cancel, you press “Space” and press “Enter”.    15.8 Hot Keys for Database Manager  Add record: Enter-i (dots 2-4) Search records: Enter-s (dots 2-3-4) Table manager: Enter-t (dots 2-3-4-5) List of records found: Enter-r (dots 1-2-3-5) Set backup options: Enter-e (dots 1-5) Backup database: Enter-u (dots 1-3-6) Restore database: Enter-o (dots 1-3-5)  1.

Or, you can press “u (dots 1-3-6)” in the “program menu” to open the utilities menu.     3) The “Utilities” menu has several submenus under each of the menu items.
358   The following sections will discuss each of these menu options and their functions in greater detail.  17.1 Calculator  Using the calculator on the Braille Sense OnHand you can do simple math equations as well as complex scientific calculations.  The results and formulas will be displayed in Braille, and spoken by the Braille Sense OnHand.    While using the calculator, you can refer to the “help” menu by pressing “Space-h (dots 1-2-5)”.    The “help” menu is very useful as you can quickly access hot key information for the various programs on the Braille Sense OnHand.  When you want to use the calculator you can press “c (dots 1-4)” from within the “Utilities” menu.    When using the calculator on the Braille Sense OnHand, you need to type using computer Braille when calculating or inserting your formulas.    You can initialize your calculation line by pressing “Backspace-c (dots 1-4)”.    If you insert numbers or a function into a result, the result will disappear; and if you put in operators, you can get to the next step.    In addition, you can keep your result in the calculator’s memory, and you can recall it when you need the result.    You can use the function and operators via the calculator menu or you can use the hot keys depending on which method works best for you. All of these functions are explained in greater detail below.  17.1.1 General Functions  “General Functions” is a dialog box that contains the “General function list”, a “Confirm” button, and a “Cancel” button.    In the dialog box, you can navigate through the items with “tab (“Space-4-5”)” and “shift-tab (“Space-1-2”)”.    In the general function list, you can navigate the operators using “Space-1” or “Space-4”.    Or, in the list, you can press the first letter of the operator that you want to go to.    In the “Calculator”, you can open the menu by pressing “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2”, and
359  press “Enter” on “General Functions”.    Or, you can press “g (dots 1-2-4-5)” in the menu to access “General Functions”.  After starting the calculation, 0 will be displayed in Computer Braille.  On the calculation line, you can access the “General Functions” by pressing “Enter-g (dots 1-2-4-5)”.    If the dialog box pops up first, you will be placed on the general function list.    Once in the list, you can select what you want, and press “Enter” on it to run the operator since the default is set to the “Confirm” button in the dialog.    In the dialog box, you can cancel the operator selection by pressing “Enter” on “Cancel”, “Space-z (dots 1-3-5-6)”, or “Space-e (dots 1-5)”.    You can use hot keys of the operators for convenient access. The hot keys of the operators are as follows:  Plus:  dots 3-4-6 Minus:  dots 3-6 Divided by:  dots 3-4 Multiply by:  dots 1-6 Percent:  dots 1-4-6 Power:  Backspace-4-5 Square Root:  Enter-q (dots 1-2-3-4-5) Decimal point:  dots 4-6 Left parenthesis:    dots 1-2-3-5-6 Right parenthesis:  dots 2-3-4-5-6 PI:  Enter-p (dots 1-2-3-4) Exponential:  Enter-e (dots 1-5) If you want to enter in negative numbers, you should type in minus (dots 3-6) and the number together in parentheses.    For example, you should type in minus 2 in the following manner:    (-2).  For the percent operation, you can get the result when you put in the numbers first and the percent sign (%) just after typing in the numbers.   Immediately after you have typed in the percent sign (%), the number that you have typed in will be converted into a percent value.    For example, 90 + 20% equals 90 + 18.    You will see the number 18 on pressing the % sign since 18 is 20% of 90.      So, you get 108 for your answer.
360   17.1.2 Variable Calculators  The “Variable Calculators” will keep your resulting answers and calculations in the memory.    The “Variable Calculators” menu has four submenu items:    “Recall Items”, “Delete All Saved Items”, “Save Items”, and “Statistics Function”.    You can move between these items by pressing “Space-4” or “Space-1” repeatedly, and then press “Enter” on the desired feature.    To access these menu items, press “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or “F2” to call up the “menu”, and press “Enter” on “Variable Calculators”.    Or, you can press “v (dots 1-2-3-6)” when you are in the menu.  17.1.2.1 Recall Items  “Recall Items” is a dialog box, that has the following items “list”, “Delete”, “Display detail”, a “Confirm” button, and a “Cancel” button.    You can navigate through each of these items by pressing “tab (“Space-4-5”)” or “shift-tab (“Space-1-2”)”.  You can access “Recall Items” by pressing “r (dots 1-2-3-5)” in the “Variable Calculators” menu.    Otherwise, you can access the dialog box by pressing “Backspace-r (dots 1-2-3-5)” in the calculation line.    The “item list” displays “an item name: the result value”, and you can move in the item name list by pressing “Space-1” or “Space-4”.  You can insert the item’s result into your calculation if you press “Enter” on the item name.    You can also copy each item in the “item list”.  Press the “Space” key to select an item in the “item list”.   Then, press “Enter-i (dots 2-4)” to copy the selected items to the clipboard.  The “Display detail” shows the item name and its result with the default set to “No”.    If you want to review the detailed information, press “Space” to switch to “Yes”.    Then, it will display “item name: the formula = its result value” in Braille.    “Delete” is used to get rid of your registered item.    If you want to delete an item, first, you should select the item that you want to be deleted, and then press “Enter” on “Delete”.   You can find the deleted item in “item list” by pressing “tab (“Space-4-5”)”.    Or, you can press “Space-d (dots 1-4-5)” on what you want to delete in the item name list.    If you want to delete all of the items, you
361  can select all of them by pressing “Enter-a (dot 1)”, and press “Space-d (dots 1-4-5)”.    If you only want to delete some of them, you can select the items by pressing “Space”, and press “Space-d (dots 1-4-5)” on the selected items.  17.1.2.2 Delete All Saved Items  When you use this function, you can delete all of the saved items that are stored in the “Recall Items”.    To activate it, you can call up the “menu” by pressing “Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” or press “F2”.    Then, use the “Space-1” or “Space-4” to get to the “Variable Calculators” menu, and press “Enter”.    Next, use the up and down arrows to go to “Delete All Saved Items”, and press “Enter”.    You can also press “Enter-d (dots   1-4-5)” while you are in the calculation line.  17.1.2.3 Save Items  “Save Items” is a dialog box that has an edit window for typing in the item name, a “Confirm” button and a “Cancel” button.    You can move between the control items by pressing “tab (“Space-4-5”)” or “shift-tab (“Space-1-2”)”.    In the “Variable Calculators” menu, you can access “Save Items” by pressing “s (dots 2-3-5)”.    When you are in the calculation line, you can press “Backspace-s (dots 2-3-4)” to open the save items dialog box.    When you are on the calculation line if you type in the item name, and formula, “a=2+sin(30)”, followed by pressing “Enter”, the calculation will be saved automatically.    In your calculating result, you can access “Save Items” to type in an item name in the edit box, and then you can save it by pressing “Enter” directly or by pressing “Enter” on the “Confirm” button. If you type in function names like “sin”, “cos”, or “pi” as an item name, you will see the message “Invalid item name”, and if you type in names that have already been saved, you will see a message that says, “Replace variable xx with current value? Yes”.   If you want to change the value, press “Enter” on “Yes”.    And if you do not want to change the value, press “Enter” on “No”.    Press “Space” to toggle between “Yes” and “No”.
362  17.1.2.4 Statistics Function  If you select this menu item, a dialog box opens, which consists of a list box containing all the stored variables, a list box displaying the results of several functions, and a “Close” button.  You can move between these elements by pressing “tab (“Space-4-5”)”, or “shift-tab (“Space-1-2”)”.   You can bring up this dialog box by pressing “Backspace-t (dots 2-3-4-5)” in the calculator line, or by pressing “t (dots 2-3-4-5)” in the “Variable Calculators” menu.

398  19. Using ActiveSync  19.1 What is ActiveSync?  ActiveSync is a program that allows mobile devices to connect to a personal computer.  This program enables file transfers from a personal computer to a mobile device and vise versa. Also this program is able to synchronize the Braille Sense OnHand with Microsoft Outlook.   ActiveSync is not shipped with the Braille Sense OnHand.    If you would like to use ActiveSync, you will have to download it from the Internet on to your personal computer.  19.2 Connecting the Braille Sense OnHand to a PC  Before connecting the Braille Sense OnHand to your personal computer for the first time, make sure that the Braille Sense OnHand is turned off.   Once you have ActiveSync installed, you will need to plug a USB cable in to the USB OTG port on the right panel of the Braille Sense OnHand.   Then, plug the other end of the USB cable in to a USB port on your personal computer.    Now, turn on the Braille Sense OnHand.    You will hear several sounds.    First, on the Braille Sense OnHand, you will hear chimes.    Then, you will hear a “ding-dong” sound on your computer, which lets you know the computer is connected properly to the Braille Sense OnHand.    You will again hear chimes on the Braille Sense OnHand, and then on your computer.  19.3 Setting up the Braille Sense OnHand in the ActiveSync Program  After you have turned on the Braille Sense OnHand, and you have heard all of the sounds, a screen will come up on your computer that has the heading, “Set Up a Partnership”.    You have a “Yes” option and a “No” option on this screen.    If you select “Yes” on this screen, the next time you connect the Braille Sense OnHand to your computer, you will be able to have it synchronize with Microsoft Outlook automatically.    If you
399  select “No”, the “Set Up a Partnership” screen will come up every time you connect the Braille Sense OnHand to your computer.  If you want to be able to synchronize the Braille Sense OnHand with Microsoft Outlook, select “Yes”, and then press the “next” button.  Then, you will be asked to select a name that you want to call the mobile device.    You can only use the following characters:    _, A-Z, or 0-9.   You cannot use spaces.    Once you have entered an appropriate name, press “next”.    Then, a list of functions will appear on your computer.   Each function has a check box located next to it.    Make sure that only the “Contacts” check box (that corresponds with Microsoft Outlook) is checked.  Then, press “next”.  Then, the next dialog box that appears will say, “setup complete”.    Then, press “finish”.    ActiveSync will then look for changes, and synchronize with Microsoft Outlook.    For more information on how to use ActiveSync or Microsoft Outlook, please visit www.microsoft.com.  19.4 Transferring Files to the Braille Sense OnHand Via ActiveSync  In order to transfer files to the Braille Sense OnHand from your computer, you will first need to find the file(s) on your PC that you want to transfer.   Once you have found the file(s) that you want to transfer, make sure the files have been selected by using the “spacebar”.  After you have selected the file(s), press “ctrl-c” on your PC to copy the file(s).    Then, go to the desktop on your computer by pressing “Windows-key-d”.   Press the letter “m” until you find “My computer”.  Press “Enter” on “My computer”.    Then, press the letter “m” until you hear “mobile device”, and press “Enter”.    The mobile device is the Braille Sense OnHand.   After you have opened “mobile device”, you will enter in to the file list on the Braille Sense OnHand.    One of the items in the list is “my computer”.   Press the letter “m” until you hear “my computer”, and press “Enter”.   Then, another file list will open.    In this list, you will find the folder called “flashdisk”.    This is the same “flashdisk” that you hear under “file manager”.    Press “f” until you hear “flashdisk”, and then press “Enter”.   You will notice that all of the folders that you find in the “flashdisk” under “file manager” are located here.    You can paste the file(s) here directly
400  by pressing “ctrl-v”, or you can paste the file(s) in to one of the folders by pressing enter on one of the folders, and then pressing “ctrl-v” to paste the file(s).  If you want to copy folders from the Braille Sense OnHand to your PC via ActiveSync, follow the same steps; except, you will need to copy files from the Braille Sense OnHand, and paste the file(s) to your PC in the directory where you want to store the file(s).
