2 Safety Precautions For your safety from the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY, please read safety precautions carefully. 1. The input voltage of the AC adapter is 100V - 240V, and the output is DC 5V / 2A. 2. When the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY is shipped, the battery may be separate from the unit to avoid damage. The battery may not be fully charged when it is shipped. Before you use the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY, you should make sure the battery is fully charged. When you use the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY for the first time, you may need to open the package, take the battery, and insert it into the battery slot at the rear panel of the unit. It is possible that the dealer or distributor from whom you purchased the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY from has already done this for you. 3. When you use the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY with the battery for the first time, the battery status may not be displayed accurately. In order to avoid this, connect the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY to the AC adapter for about six hours with turn on. If you want to use the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY immediately after opening the box, you will need to connect the AC adapter to the unit for more than six hours to fully charge the battery. 4. If you want or need to take the battery out of the unit, turn the power off, and then take the battery out of the unit. Before putting the battery back in to the unit, make certain that the power is off. There is a risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Please dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

3 5. When you are using the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY 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 U2 QWERTY will shut down one minute after the announcement of the battery’s status. The amount of battery life per charge will vary depending on the options you have set. 6. Your Braille Sense U2 QWERTY needs to be handled with care. The Braille Sense U2 QWERTY is a very delicate machine. You should make sure to handle the unit in a proper manner. Also, the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY is very sensitive to dust. Make sure to keep the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY away from dusty environments. 7. The Braille cells are very sensitive parts. If any of the Braille cells are not working properly due to dust or any other reason, please contact our repair center, or the dealer whom you purchased the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY from for support. 8. You will need to register your Braille Sense U2 QWERTY in order to ensure further maintenance, service, and upgrade information. Please visit www.hims-inc.com, to register your information. If you have any trouble when registering your information, please contact the dealer whom you purchased your Braille Sense U2 QWERTY product from for help. 9. Do not take apart the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY by yourself. Do not have anyone else who is not authorized by HIMS take apart the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY. If an unqualified person disassembles the unit, serious damage may occur to the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY. If an unauthorized person disassembles the Braille Sense

4 U2 QWERTY, the unit will be excluded from any free maintenance, and the warranty will become void. If any liquid or external force damages the unit, it may also be excluded from free maintenance, even if the damage occurred during the warranty period. 10. If you let your Braille Sense U2 QWERTY remain for a long time at the closed or high temperature places like inside of car, the battery attached to the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY may be defected or fired. So please don’t keep your Braille Sense U2 QWERTY at those places. 11. If you have any complaints or suggestions, please provide us with your comments on our website.

36 1. Introduction 1.1 What is the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY? The Braille Sense U2 QWERTY is a Braille note taker developed and manufactured by HIMS, for people who are blind and visually impaired. The Braille Sense U2 QWERTY has a variety of powerful capabilities, including the following. 1. Use the Word Processor, and the keyboard of QWERTY type, to create Braille documents. 2. Print your text documents using any compatible Bluetooth or USB ink printer. 3. Create hard copy Braille documents by connecting the unit to a Braille embosser. 4. Open Microsoft Word documents, and read them in contracted Braille. 5. Send email messages to sighted colleagues and friends while reading incoming email messages in Braille without the need for translation. 6. Create a schedule of important appointments with the Schedule Manager and set alarms to alert you to these appointments. 7. Input contact information for colleagues, friends, and family into the Address Manager. 8. Surf the Internet with the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY's Web Browser and integrated Braille display. 9. Listen to music, audio books, your own personal recordings, or even videos with the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY's integrated media player. 10. Listen to and record FM radio content. 11. Calculate algebraic equations, trigonometric functions, and other scientific calculations with the built-in calculator. 12. View the flashdisk of the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY as a USB drive on your computer and transfer files.

37 13. Use the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY as a Braille display with a compatible screen reader, such as Window-Eyes, JAWS, or VoiceOver. 14. Copy, move, and delete files on the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY with its intuitive, Windows-like File Manager. 15. Adjust the volume, speed, and pitch of the speech on the fly. 16. Use the Database Manager to create your own Database for storing important information. 17. Use MSN messenger, Google Talk, and Twitter to keep up with what's happening and stay in touch with friends, family, and colleagues. 18. Use the built-in GPS sensor and digital compass to navigate independently without the need for external devices. 1.2 Hardware(modify) To get the most from your Braille Sense U2 QWERTY, it is important to become oriented to the buttons and ports on your Braille Sense U2 QWERTY as well as learning their functions. This section explains the hardware configuration of the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY. The Braille Sense U2 QWERTY is 10 inches long by 6.1 inches wide by 1.9 inches high. The bottom of the unit contains rubber feet in order to prevent slipping while you are using it. Place the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY on a desk or table top with the Braille display nearest you. Its shape resembles a small, thin rectangular box. This section of the manual describes each side of the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY and the basic function(s) of each button and port. We will discuss the panels in the following order: top panel, right panel, left panel, rear panel, and front panel. 1.2.1 The Top Panel On the top face of the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY is located a 9 key Perkins-style keyboard, consisting of Braille dots 1:6, "SPACE",

38 "BACKSPACE", and "ENTER". When you are typing, you should place your fingers on these 9 Perkins-style keys in the following manner: Place your index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and pinky finger of your left hand on the left four buttons. Then, place your index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and pinky finger of your right hand on the right four buttons. Finally, place both of your thumbs on the spacebar. 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 under your left ring finger corresponds to dot three. The button on which your left pinky finger is placed is the Backspace key. The button under your right index finger corresponds with dot four in Braille. The button under your right middle finger is dot five, and the button on which your ring finger is placed 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 under your thumbs is the spacebar. On the same row as the Space bar are 4 rectangular function keys: two to the left of the spacebar, and two to the right. Moving from left to right, the key to the far left is the "F1" key, and the key to the right of it is the "F2" key. The key to the right of the spacebar is the "F3" key, and the key on the far right is the "F 4" key. Below the keyboard is a 32 cell Braille display. Above the Braille display, there are 32 small, oval-shaped buttons corresponding to each of the 32 Braille cells. These buttons are called cursor routing keys. When you are editing documents, you can use these keys to route your cursor to the character of the corresponding Braille cell. The cursor routing keys also serve as shortcut keys for navigating lists and groups of fields in certain places on the unit. On each side of the Braille display are two capsule shaped keys. These are the "UP" and "DOWN" scroll keys. The scroll keys are used to scroll the Braille display through menus, fields, lists or text. You can use the scroll keys to scroll by display length, paragraph, line, sentence, or character.

39 You can set the left and right sets of scroll keys independently in the "Global Options". (See chapter 3.) Near the top center of the unit's top panel, is a liquid crystal display (LCD). The LCD displays the output of the unit visually so that a sighted person can see what is shown on the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY. STEREO speakers are located one on each side of the LCD for audio output. To the right of the LCD, along the top edge of the unit, there are 4 LED lights. The far left LED light shows wireless LAN status; when wireless LAN is on, this LED light turns blue. The next LED indicates Bluetooth status; again, when Bluetooth is activated, this LED light turns blue. The third LED light shows the status of the GPS receiver; when you are running Sense Navigation, the LED turns blue (Only available after purchase and download of a license and map data for Sense Navigation). The LED light on the far right indicates power status. When the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY is powered on, the LED turns red. These LED lights help a sighted person easily determine the status of the unit when working with students. This helps them quickly evaluate whether options need to be changed for accomplishing current tasks, or if options are activated unnecessarily, and can be turned off to save power, etc. 1.2.2 The Right Panel On the right panel, there is a recessed rectangular section containing 2 ports. The port nearest the front of the unit is the USB OTG port. You can connect your Braille Sense U2 QWERTY to a personal computer via this USB port, and use it as a Braille terminal for the computer, transfer files to and from the computer, or to synchronize your calendar and contacts with Outlook. Behind the USB OTG port is the AC adapter jack. To charge the unit's battery or use the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY on AC power, plug the small, round end of the AC adapter in to this jack, and plug the larger box-like end in to a standard AC electrical outlet.

40 Near the rear of the right panel is a 3-position slide switch. This is the key "Lock" switch. This switch is discussed in more detail in the next section. 1.2.3 The Left Panel The left panel of the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY contains a rectangular recessed section with 3 things. Nearer the front of the unit are 2 full-sized USB host ports. Use these ports to connect a USB thumb drive for auxiliary storage or a USB keyboard or printer. Nearer the rear of the unit, is the "SD" slot, used for housing an SD (secure digital) card in the unit, also for additional storage. 1.2.4 The Rear Panel On the far left of the rear panel is a small, round recess, with a dot-like button inside it. This is the "RESET" button. If your unit is not responding properly, you can press this button to force a soft reboot of the unit. NOTE: do NOT press the "RESET" button for more than 5 seconds. It takes about fifteen seconds for your unit to complete the reboot process. You can also perform a soft reset by pressing F2-F3-1-2-3-4-5-6. If you hold down dots 1-2 with the "RESET" button, while the power is on, the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY reboots without speech. To the right of the "RESET" button, is the local area network (LAN) port. If you connect the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY to an Ethernet interface, you can connect to the Internet, allowing you to browse websites as well as send and receive e-mail. To the right of the LAN port is another USB host port. Next to the USB port is a video output (VGA) port. The video output port can be used to display the output of the Braille display on a standard video monitor. To use this port, you must turn it on from in the "Global Options" menu. This port is very beneficial when using the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY in educational settings.

41 On the far right of the rear panel, is a rectangular cavity used for containing the detachable battery. The battery is packaged separately from the unit when the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY is shipped. Insert the battery into this rectangular slot until you feel it click into place. To remove the battery, locate the triangular-shaped latch on the underside of the unit. Using your left hand, pull the latch to the right, and use your right hand to pull the battery out of the compartment. 1.2.5 The Front Panel On the far left of the front panel is an emblem displaying the location of the GPS antenna. To the right of the "GPS" emblem, is the stereo microphone jack, used for connecting an external microphone or line level recording source. To the right of the microphone jack is the stereo headphone jack. To the right of the headphone jack is another 3-position slide switch. This is the "Media Mode" switch, and determines which type of media the media buttons control. This switch is explained in more detail in the next section. To the right of the "Media Mode" switch, are five buttons of varying shapes. These buttons control media playback. As explained above, the type of content controlled by these buttons depends on the position of the "Media Mode" switch. These buttons can control media playback, DAISY playback, or the FM radio. These five buttons are explained further in the FM Radio, Daisy and Media chapters of this manual. To the right of the media buttons is the on/off switch. To turn on the unit, push the switch to the right. To turn off the unit, repeat this action. Congratulations! You are now familiar with the basic functions of the buttons and ports of the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY. The rest of the manual discusses each function in greater detail to help you maximize the potential of your Braille Sense U2 QWERTY. 1.3 Hardware Specifications(modify)

The RAM is memory reserved for running programs. RAM is a temporary storage area for any program files that are running or any currently open documents. The data in the RAM area disappears if your battery depletes, and the AC adapter is not connected. The RAM data also disappears when Braille Sense U2 QWERTY reboots for any reason. This means, if you have an open document which you have not saved, the unsaved data disappears.

44 2. Basic Functions of the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY 2.1 How to Enter Commands The commands used to operate the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY are comprised of various combinations of the Braille and function keys. In this user manual, the “-“(dash) is used to indicate that keys should be pressed simultaneously. For example, "Alt-F4" indicates that the user should press "Alt" and "F4" at the same time. This manual also contains expressions like "Ctrl-c". This means that the Ctrl button with letter ‘c’ should be pressed and released simultaneously. If you are in a menu or dialog, and your cursor is placed on the command you want to execute, you can execute most commands by pressing "Enter". If you want to cancel the execution of a command, and return to your previous location, press "Alt-F4." "Alt-F4" is a very important command to remember, as it allows you to abort programs and menus if you have pressed keys accidentally. 2.1.1 Basic Alerts and Messages There are instances where the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY alerts you to events for which you have asked it to notify you. For example, by default, the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY checks the Schedule Manager when you power on, and notifies you of any appointments scheduled for that day. When you are notified of an appointment, you can interact with the Schedule Manager as you normally would. To exit the Schedule Manager, press "Alt-F4" or "Esc," and you are returned to your previous location. If you do not want to be alerted of "today's schedule" when you turn on the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY, you can turn off the "Check today's schedule" option in the "Global Options" dialog. (See chapter 3) When you turn on the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY, you are returned to the same location at which you turned the unit off. The Braille Sense U2

45 QWERTY announces the name of the running program and your current position or status. If you turn off the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY while using the Word Processor, when you power on, it announces the program name, file name, input mode and file protection status. When you connect the AC adapter to the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY, the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY speaks the message "AC adapter connected." When you disconnect it, the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY says, "AC adaptor disconnected." 2.2 Concept of the Menu The menu on the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY provides you with a list of programs, actions, or options from which you can select. If a menu item has a submenu, selecting it brings up another list of choices. Moving among the menu items is very simple. Press “Alt” to bring up the menu. Press the "Up" scroll key or “Up arrow button” to move to the previous item, and press the "Down" scroll key or “Down arrow button” to move to the next item. You can also press the menu's shortcut key, usually the first letter of the menu name, to quickly jump to and execute that menu item. Often menu items can also be executed instantly with a hotkey, enabling you to perform the desired action without accessing the menus. Shortcut keys are displayed in parentheses following the menu names. Hotkeys generally consist of a modifier such as "Enter," "Space," or "Backspace", pressed simultaneously with a letter or dot combination. These are displayed following the shortcut keys. For example, if you are in the Word Processor, and press “Alt”, then press "Enter" on "File," you hear "New (n) pull down Enter-n". The word "New" is the menu option. You would press the letter "n" to jump to "New" from within the "File" menu. Press "Enter-n" to access the "New" document

46 command from anywhere in the Word Processor. The n is the shortcut key and "Enter-n" is the hotkey. It is important to note that some hotkey commands are global, thus will work from anywhere on the unit, and some are program specific. For example, if you want to activate the "new document" option in the Word Processor. You cannot press "Enter-n" from the "Program" menu to activate this option. You must be in the Word Processor for "Enter-n" to activate the "new document" command. You can also navigate the menus manually. Move to the next menu item by pressing "down arrow button" Move to the previous menu item by pressing “up arrow button”. To move to the first item in the menu, press "Ctrl-Fn-Left arrow key." To move to the last item in the menu, press "Ctrl-Fn-Right arrow key" The corresponding menu name is displayed on the Braille display, and the menu name is spoken through the TTS (text to speech) engine. To repeat the name of the menu item, press "Fn-r" When you are placed on an item you want to execute, press "Enter". If the item you chose has a submenu or dialog, pressing "Enter" opens the submenu or dialog. If the item you chose is a command, pressing "Enter activates the command. This is referred to as "selection." When a menu item activates a submenu, the right direction arrow sign (->) is displayed after the name of the corresponding menu on the Braille display and the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY announces "pull down" after the menu item name. If the menu item is a dialog box, the ellipsis sign (...) is displayed after the menu item name on the Braille display. The Braille Sense U2 QWERTY also speaks the message, "common dialog." Let's begin going through the various menus. First, turn the unit on by pushing the power switch to the right. Now, bring up the "Program" menu by pressing "Win key". The "Program" menu is the main menu of the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY. You can access all of the programming, option settings, utilities, and help from this menu. The items in the "Program" menu are File Manager, Word Processor, Sense Navigation, Address Manager, Schedule Manager, E-mail, Media Player, FM Radio, Web

47 Browser, DAISY Player, Bluetooth Manager, Database Manager, Extras, Social Networking, Utilities, Global Options, and Help. The first item in the "Program" menu is "File Manager". If “Down arrow button” is pressed, the next menu item is displayed and spoken. Pressing “down arrow button” repeatedly, will continue your navigational progress down the list of items in the "Program" menu. When you reach the bottom of the list, the "Help" menu item is displayed as it is the last item in the "Program" menu. You could also jump quickly to the "Help" menu item by pressing "Ctrl-Fn-Right arrow key" when "File Manager" is displayed. Press "Ctrl-Fn-Left arrow key," and the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY jumps back to the top item in the "Program" menu and again speaks and displays "File Manager". As explained above, to execute a submenu or program from the "Program" menu, press "Enter". If you are in a submenu, and wish to return to the main "Program" menu, press "Esc." The "Win key" command for accessing the "Program" menu is an example of a global hotkey. This means that pressing the "Win key" key takes you to the "Program" menu immediately from anywhere on the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY, whether you are in a submenu, a file, a dialog or an application. When you press "Win key", you are always placed at the top of the "Program" menu; and File Manager, is displayed and spoken. 2.2.1 Control Symbols The Braille Sense U2 QWERTY uses several control symbols to note the type of information being displayed: examples are list items, menus, and edit boxes. These symbols can appear "Before" or "After" the text, or the appearance of this information may be set to "off". The way this information is displayed is determined by the "Control information" setting in the "Global Options" dialog. The default value is set to "Before." Note: In the Web

48 Browser, the control symbols are displayed even if the "Control information" is set to "off". AS explained above, the control symbol appears before or after the text of the control. For example, if "Control information" is set to "before", and you bring up the Word Processor's program menu, The Braille Sense displays, "MN File (f) pulls down". The following table shows the types of controls and the symbols that are used to indicate them. 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)”

49 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. (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”)

50 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 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. Note: Links, anchors, and radio buttons are controls that are only used in the Web Browser. The symbols enable you to understand what type of input control or menu you are working with. For example, if "MN," "MI," or "LI" are displayed, you know you can move from one item to the previous and next items by

51 pressing the "Up" and “Down" scroll keys. If "ECB," "EB," "CB," or "MEB" are displayed, you know you are in an input area where you must type the desired text. If "BT" is displayed, you can press "Enter" to activate the "button". 2.3 Using the Function Keys There are four function keys on the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY. You can use these function keys to open the menus, cancel tasks, and move to other items. As described previously, “Function key" is on the left side bottom of the keyboard. "Function key" called as "Fn". When do hotkey combination or list transfer, is used. For example, if combined “Fn” and “Up arrow key”, do “Page up” and combined “Fn” and “Down arrow key”, do “Page down” and combined “Fn” and “Right arrow key”, do “End” and combined “Fn” and “Left arrow key”, do “Home”. And press “Fn” and “Insert”, “Num lock on/off” function is executed. This function is executed, M(0), J(1), K(2), L(3), U(4), I(5), O(6), 7(7), 8(8), 9(9), 0(*), ;(+), .(.), /(/) are inputted being changed by key in parenthesis. 2.4 The AC Power Supply and the Battery Pack It is often useful to know the remaining battery power on the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY so you can determine how much time you have before you must change the battery or connect to AC power. If the remaining battery power falls below 15 percent, the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY indicates the battery power is low. To check the battery power status, press "Fn-b". The unit displays the following 2 items: 1. Battery power level 2. Power source (battery, AC power or USB cable)

52 The battery power level represents the percentage of the remaining battery power. The power source indicates whether the unit is being operated using the battery or the AC power supply. If the battery power level drops under 15 percent, the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY displays the battery status on the Braille display, and it announces that the battery has less than 15 percent of its power remaining. If the battery power level falls below five percent, the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY gives you a warning indicating that your battery power level is under five percent, and the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY will be automatically turned off in one minute, unless you connect it to an AC power supply. Let's explore the detachable battery pack. When the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY is shipped, the battery pack is not installed. This is done to prevent damage during shipping. When you insert the battery in to the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY for the first time, the unit may display an inaccurate battery power level. Before using the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY for the first time, please charge the battery for at least six hours. You may use the unit during the initial charge, however, it is recommended if you do, that the unit remain connected to AC power for at least seven hours to fully charge the battery. When you remove the battery from the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY, make sure your unit is turned off; especially when the AC power adapter is not connected. If you remove the battery while the unit is on and AC power is not connected, you will lose all data stored in RAM, including open documents, emails, and contacts or appointments that have not been backed up. If you remove the battery, and do not have the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY connected to AC power, the data stored in RAM remains for about 1 hour. To save your RAM data the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY must be connected to an AC power adapter or battery pack within an hour; or this data is lost. [Note, when using CD-ROM/external hard drives] *When you connect an external CD-ROM drive to the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY, please use the AC power adapter for the CD-ROM. It takes

53 about one minute for the CD-ROM to be recognized by the Braille Sense. *Please avoid using both an external hard disk and a CD-ROM drive with the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY at the same time. Or, Braille Sense U2 QWERTY may be short of power and the unit may shut down. [Note, when charging via USB cable] *Braille Sense U2 QWERTY can be charged via a USB cable. However, charging with a USB cable supplies less power to the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY than does the AC adapter. While charging Braille Sense U2 QWERTY via USB, if you use the unit continuously, the battery may not charge, or, depending on how much power you are using, the battery may even continue to drain. If you want to charge the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY via a USB cable, it is recommended that you leave the unit powered off while charging. *If you use a USB cable other than the one shipped with the unit, the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY may not recognize external USB devices or may not be charged. Please always use the USB cable which is provided with the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY. [Instructions for charging depleted battery] *When the battery is completely depleted, though you connect the AC adapter to Braille Sense U2 QWERTY, the unit may not immediately wake up. After charging a few hours, Braille Sense U2 QWERTY will power up normally. If you want to use the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY as soon as you begin charging it, remove the battery from the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY and connect the AC adapter. After the Braille Sense wakes up, connect the battery. And you may use Braille Sense while charging. 2.5 Basic Explanation of Disks, folders, and files Think of the flash memory on the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY like a big bookshelf in a library. You can create partitions on a bookshelf to organize books into categories. Think of the "folders" on the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY as being similar to these categorical partitions. The books in

54 each section can be compared to the "files" on the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY. You can save files into any folder at your discretion. If you create meaningful folder names and properly organize your files into them, it will make for easier retrieval of files when you need to access them later. When the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY is shipped from the factory, the name given to the flash memory in the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY is "flashdisk". You can create folders on this "flashdisk" in any way that you prefer. You can also expand your available storage by adding additional storage devices, such as a Secure Digital card or USB flash drive. The Secure Digital card is named, "sd". A USB flash drive appears as "USB." If you decide to add any of these memory devices, you can create folders, and save files on them just as you can the flashdisk. 2.6 Controlling the Volume, Speed, and Pitch of the TTS You can change the volume, speed, and pitch of the voice used on the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY. Press "F6" to increase the volume. Press "Shift-F6" to decrease the volume. Press "F7" to increase the speech rate. Press "Shift-F7" to decrease the speech rate. Press "F8" to raise the pitch and "Shift-F8" to lower it. When you press any of the above key combinations, the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY announces the status of its volume, rate, or pitch. The changes in the characteristics of the voice remain in effect until you change them again, or a hard reset is performed either manually or due to lack of power to the unit for an extended period of time. 2.7 Using Speech and Braille When using the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY, you can choose to read using Braille only or speech only. You can also use both Braille and speech simultaneously. However, you cannot turn off both Braille and speech as you would have no method of receiving information from the Braille Sense

55 U2 QWERTY. Use "F5" to toggle the speech on and off. Press "F4" to toggle the Braille on and off. Please refer to section 3.2.1 in this user manual for more information. 2.8 Entering Text (modify) When you use the word processor on the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY, how to Input character in the Braille document is different. Braille Sense U2 QWERTY keyboard is input type of Braille Keyboard in Braille document. For input like Braille keyboard, “F” corresponds to the dot 1 and “D” corresponds to the dot 2, “S” corresponds to the dot 3, “J” corresponds to the dot 4, “K” corresponds to the dot 5, “L” corresponds dot 6 in the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY Keyboard. In order to type capitalization character, you need to type dot 6-L in front of the character. For example, when you input ‘sea’ in the Braille Document, press “D-S-J” corresponds to “s” (dot 2-3-4). Then, press “F-K” corresponds to “e” (dot 1-5) and press “F” corresponds to “a” (dot 1). 2.8.1 Inputting/searching for Control characters Control characters are codes in a character set, which do not in themselves represent written symbols in computing. For example, all entries in the ASCII table below code 32 such as Form Feed (FF), TAB, and Carriage Return (CR). You can input and search for control characters in Braille documents. 2.8.1.1 Inputting Control characters Control characters can only be entered in Braille documents. To enter control characters in Braille documents, follow these steps. (1) From within a Braille document, press "Ctrl-Space". "Control character" is announced to alert you to the fact that the next character you enter should be a control character.

56 (2) Enter the control character. For example: "l" for Form Feed (FF) or "i" for TAB in alphabetical order. (3) The control character is entered into the Braille document. 2.8.1.2 Searching for a Control character You can also search for control characters in Braille documents. To search for a control character, follow these steps. (1) From within a Braille document, press "Ctrl-Space". (2) "Text to find" is displayed. (3) Press "Fn-Space” and "control character" is announced. (4) Enter the control character for which you want to search. (5) Press "Enter" to search for the control character. 2.9 Multi Tasking Unique to the Sense notetakers is their ability to run up to seven tasks at once. The ability to run multiple applications simultaneously is referred to as multi-tasking. For example, you can work with the Word Processor while listening to music, and place calculations into a document at the same time. To continue with the example of the Word Processor and Media Player, open the Media Player and play a music file. While the audio is playing, press the "win key" key to bring up the "Program" menu and launch the Word Processor. You cannot run more than seven applications at the same time. If you try to run a program that is currently running, The Braille Sense U2 QWERTY does not open a new instance of the program, but rather, returns you to the instance of the program that is already running. For example, while working with a document called "Notes" you decide to execute the "File Manager." Next, you navigate to a document called "journal" in the file list and press "Enter." The Word Processor does not load a second time, but rather, "journal" is opened in the same instance of the Word Processor in which

57 "notes" is already loaded. You can switch among multiple open documents in a single instance of the Word Processor. Use "Tab" or "shift-tab" to cycle forward or backward through the currently open documents. Switching documents is explained in more detail in section 4, which covers the Word Processor. If you have pressed "Win key" to bring up the "Program" menu, or "Fn-F10" to open the Task List and you decide not to access a different application, you can press "Esc” key to return to your previous location on the unit. To switch between currently running programs press "Fn-F10" to open the Task List. The Task List shows all the currently running programs in list form. To return to any application, simply navigate to it and press "Enter". You can use "Alt-tab" to immediately cycle among all running programs without opening the Task List. If you are running three programs and are in the second program, pressing "Alt" and "Tab" moves you to the third program. If you press "Alt-Tab" again, you are placed in the first program. In the above case, if you were to press "Alt-F4" to close the currently open program, you are then placed in the previous program. However, if there is only one program running, pressing "Alt-F4" closes the program and places you in the "Program" menu. 2.10 Switching Media Modes(modify) The media buttons on the front panel perform different functions according to the location of the "Media Mode" switch. If you slide the "Media Mode" switch to the left-most position, the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY announces, "radio mode" and the media buttons control operation of the FM Radio. If you place the "Media Mode" switch in the center position, the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY says, "DAISY mode" and the media buttons control playback of Daisy content. If you slide the "Media Mode" switch to the right-most position, the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY announces, "media mode" and the media buttons control media playback. It is very important to pay attention to the position of the "Media Mode" switch to achieve desired operation of the media buttons. For example, if

58 you are using the Media Player, if the "Media Mode" switch is placed in the left-most position, the media buttons on the front panel control operation of the FM Radio even though your focus is in the Media Player. More detailed explanations of the functions of the Media buttons is given in the FM Radio, Daisy Player, and Media Player sections in this manual. 2.11 Switching Key lock(modify) You can disable the keys on the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY to prevent the accidental pressing of keys using the key "Lock" switch on the front panel. When the key "Lock" switch is placed in the left-most position, Braille Sense U2 QWERTY announces, "all keys locked". This means all keys on the unit are disabled including the on/off switch. If the key "Lock" switch is placed in the center position, Braille Sense U2 QWERTY says, "top panel locked". This means you can continue to use the buttons and switches on the front panel (media mode switch, media buttons and on/off switch), however, you cannot use any of the keys on the top face of the unit. If the key "Lock" switch is placed in the right-most position, Braille Sense U2 QWERTY announces, "unlocked". This indicates all keys are operational (Braille keyboard, media buttons, scroll keys, function keys, Media Mode switch and On/Off switch). Note: the "RESET" button is always operational, regardless of location of the key "Lock" switch. 2.12 Print Spool The Braille Sense U2 QWERTY has a print spool function. This function enables the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY 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 are 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 "Fn-Ctrl-p" or “Alt-shift-p”. A dialog box appears with three controls: a list containing

59 information about files that are being printed, a "Cancel" button, and a "Close" button. You can cycle through the three controls by pressing “Tab” or "shift-tab." In the information list, you can move among the items by pressing “down arrow button” or “up arrow button”. If you open the dialog box when nothing is printing, "no items" appears in the list and only the "Close" button is available. While printing, the information list contains 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.txt" from the Word Processor. The info list displays, "program: Word Processor, file: sample.txt, printer, copy: 1, printing." If you are using a Braille embosser, "embosser" appears instead of "printer." If nothing is printing but, (the printer is waiting), "ready" is displayed instead of "printing." If you print something from the E-mail program, "emailtemp.txt," is displayed instead of the file name. If you are printing from the Address Manager, or the Schedule Manager, the message, "prn_ggtimegg.txt" is shown. If you focus on a file in the info list, pressing "Enter" on "Cancel" cancels the printing of that file. If you tab to "Close," and press "Enter" the Print Spool dialog box is closed. Pressing "Alt-F4" also closes the Print Spool dialog. 2.13 One-Handed Mode Braille Sense U2 QWERTY provides a One-handed mode for users restricted to the use of one hand for Braille input. To turn on one-handed mode, Press “Fn-h”. Also turn off one-handed mode, press “Fn-h”, too. You can also turn One-handed mode on or off in the "Global Options" dialog. When One-handed mode is on, the use the following methods to input text: When contents of file copy whole 1) Press the “Ctrl”. Then, “Ctrl” is pressed down. 2) And press “a”. Then, whole copy is executed.

60 3) “Ctrl” that is pressed down is canceled. Display power status 1) Press the “Fn”. Then, “Fn” is pressed down 2) And press “b”. Then, power status is checked. 3) “Fn” that is pressed down is canceled. Switch to next program 1) Press the “Alt”. Then, “Alt” is pressed down. 2) Press the “Shift”. Then, “Shift” is pressed down. 3) Press the “Tab”. Then, program is changed next program. 4) “Alt” and “Shift” that is pressed down is canceled. The operation of the scroll keys, function keys, and media buttons remains the same as in normal mode. If One-handed mode is on, the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY announces this each time it is powered on, as well as how to return to normal operation. 2.14 Using Typing Mode While you are typing in a document, you may wish to turn off the navigation keys, especially if you type very fast as you may accidentally navigate when you intend to enter text. To turn on "Typing Mode", follow these steps: (1) Press "Fn-Ctrl-t", from within a document. (2) "Start typing mode" is announced and displayed. If you press “Ctrl-ESC” while executing the “Typing Mode”, it will be typed “Ctrl” and “ESC” instead of executing the “Key help mode”. To cancel "Typing Mode", follow these steps: 1) Press “Fn-Ctrl-t” in the “Typing Mode”. 2) It shows “End typing mode”. After canceling the “Typing Mode”, it will execute “Key help mode” when you press “Ctrl-ESC”.

63 3. Global options The "Global Options" on the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY is a large dialog box for controlling many preferences/settings. You can access "Global Options" by pressing "Win key" to get to the main menu, and then navigate to "Global Options" by pressing “down arrow button” or “up arrow button”. Press "Enter" to open the "Global Options" dialog. You can also open "Global Options" from anywhere on the notetaker by pressing “F10”. You can navigate among the items in "Global Options" using “up arrow button” and “down arrow button” or using the scroll keys. You can also use shortcut keys to quickly move to specific items in the "Global Options" dialog. You can toggle an option on or off or cycle through the available values of a setting with the "spacebar" or "Backspace" keys. To save the changes you've made to the "Global Options" settings, press "Enter" or tab to the "Confirm" button and press "Enter". When you press "Enter" to save the settings, the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY says, "Saved options," and you are returned to the place on the notetaker from which you entered the "Global Options". To cancel without saving changes, press the "Esc" key or "Alt-F4". The Braille Sense U2 QWERTY announces, "Canceled saving options". From the options list, you can also use “Tab” or "shift-tab" to navigate to the "Confirm" and "Cancel" buttons. If you want to save your settings, press "Enter" on the "Confirm" button. If you do not want to save changes, press "Enter" on the "Cancel" button. Before we go in to detail about each option, let's first go through a brief overview of what appears in the "Global Options" dialog.

64 3.1 Global Options Overview The "Global Options" dialog contains various settings that can be changed in the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY. As stated above, you can open "Global Options" from anywhere on the unit by pressing “F10”. The "Global Options" dialog contains five groups, making it easy to jump to a particular section in the very long list of settings present in the dialog. 1. Braille settings (includes Braille display, Braille cursor, eight dot mode, view/input grade, Braille Code and message display time) 2. Voice settings (includes language, voice, punctuation level, keyboard echo, capitalization alert, numbers, abbreviations, voice volume, voice rate, voice pitch, and scroll voice) 3. Display settings (flip LCD display, LCD font size, and video display) 4. Print settings (includes printer port and print paper size) 5. General settings (includes audio alerts, play power on/off sound, left scroll buttons, right scroll buttons, skip empty lines, control information, hide passwords, hot key information, announce shortcut keys, power saving mode, power saving kick in, check today's schedule, one-handed mode, Automatic spell-check, default document type, Automatically synchronize with time server, progress indicator, Bluetooth, wireless LAN, Ethernet port, and mass-storage device mode.) You can navigate among the five groups by pressing "page down or "page up”. When you navigate to a particular group, you are placed at the location in "Global Options" where that group of options begins. Though the "Global Options" dialog is divided into groups for ease of navigation, it is actually one long continuous list of settings. As explained above, you can move between items in the "list" by pressing "up arrow button" or "down arrow button". You can change the setting for each option by pressing "Space" or "Backspace". Note: in addition to navigating by group, you may also use shortcut keys to jump to specific settings in the "Global Options" dialog. However, it should also be noted that often, the same shortcut key is used for multiple options.

65 Thus, as is the case when using first letter navigation, pressing a shortcut key moves the focus to the first setting that matches the shortcut key, pressing the key again moves to the next setting that matches that shortcut key. If there are no more settings matching the shortcut key, the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY wraps around to the first match. Many items in "Global Options" also have global hot keys. This means you can use this hot key from anywhere on the unit to instantly modify that particular setting without bringing up the "Global Options" dialog. 3.2 Global Options in Detail Let's take a look at each setting in the "Global Options" dialog in more detail. 3.2.1 Braille display The first item in "Global Options" is "Braille display". When your cursor is placed on this option, you can toggle the Braille display on and off by pressing "Space". The default setting is "On". Use "b" to quickly jump to the Braille display option in the list of items in "Global Options". You can also toggle the Braille display on/off from anywhere on the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY by pressing "F4". 3.2.2 Braille Cursor Use this setting to define how you want the Braille cursor to appear on the Braille display. By default the cursor is set to "Always up". Press "Space" to change the cursor to "Blinking," and again to turn the cursor "Off". Use "c" to jump quickly to this option. Note that the Braille cursor can appear in 3 different forms: 1. "Dots 7-8"

66 2. Blinking "dots 7-8" 3. Blinking "dots 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8" The blinking "dots 7-8" is displayed when you are using "overwrite mode" in the word processor. The blinking "dots 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8" appears when you are selecting text to denote the end of the selection. In all other situations, the cursor is displayed as "dots 7-8". 3.2.3 Eight Dot Mode You can choose to use 6-dot-Braille or 8-dot-Braille mode when entering ASCII text. The shortcut key is "e". By default 8-dot-Braille is set to off. WHEN your cursor is placed on this option, you can turn on 8-dot-Braille mode by pressing "Space". You can toggle this option on/off by pressing "F1-DOWN scroll" from anywhere. 3.2.4 View/input Braille Grade This option lets you choose what grade of Braille you want to use when viewing/entering text. The shortcut key is "g". The available settings are Uncontracted Braille, Contracted Braille, and Computer Braille. You can cycle among the settings by pressing "Space". You can press "Fn-g" to cycle through the Braille grades from any location on the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY. 3.2.5 Braille Code The Braille code setting defines the rules by which Braille is translated to text and vice versa. The Braille Sense U2 QWERTY offers 2 English Braille codes as well as entry of Spanish Braille. Thus the Braille code can be set to use "US", "UEBC", (Unified English Braille Code) or "Spanish".

67 The original intent of the UEBC was to explore the possibility of bringing together three of the official Braille codes that are used for Braille in English-speaking countries for various purposes, viz.: literary material (English Braille, American Edition), mathematics and scientific notation (Nemeth Code), and computer notation (Computer Braille Code). Choosing "Spanish" allows you to input Braille according to Spanish Braille rules, and read documents created in Spanish using Spanish Braille translation. The short cut key used to jump to the Braille code option is "c". The default setting is "US". Use "Space" to change to "UEBC" or "Spanish". Note: If you change the Braille Code option while you are editing Braille in the Word Processor, the meaning of the Braille in your current document will be changed to reflect the current Braille Code setting. To avoid this problem, the Braille Code option should be changed before launching the Word Processor. 3.2.6 Message Display Time This option defines how the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY deals with system messages. You can set the unit to ignore system messages, to stand by until you press a key, or, if the Braille display is on, you can define how long the message remains on the display before automatically disappearing. Use "m" to quickly jump to this item in "Global Options". The available settings are "Stand by," "Ignore", and display times of 1 to 10 seconds. The default setting is "3 seconds". Use "Space" to increase the message display time by one second and "Backspace" to decrease the message display time by one second. If you read the message before the display time has elapsed, you can clear the message by pressing any key.

68 Set the unit to standby mode by pressing "Space" until you reach "Stand by". In this mode, the message remains indefinitely until you press a key. If you choose "Ignore," messages are ignored and do not appear on the display. 3.2.7 Language The Braille Sense U2 QWERTY can output speech in both US English and Mexican Spanish. You can change the Text-to-Speech (TTS) engine using the "Language" setting in the "Global Options" dialog. The shortcut for jumping quickly to the "Language" setting is "l". Press "Space" to toggle the TTS voice between "English" and "Spanish". Note: you can change the TTS and Braille language from anywhere on the unit by pressing "Alt-Ctrl-v". 3.2.8 Voice This option allows you to toggle the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY voice on and off. The shortcut key is "v". By default the voice is set to on. You can change the status of the voice by pressing '"Space". You can toggle the voice on and off from anywhere on the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY by pressing "F5". 3.2.9 Punctuation Level Use this setting to choose how you want the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY to read punctuation marks. The shortcut key is "p". The available options are "All," "Off", "Punctuation," and "Symbol". The default setting is "All", thus, by default, and the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY speaks all punctuation marks and symbols. Use "Space" to cycle through the four settings. If you select "Off", the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY speaks no punctuation marks. When the option, is set to "Punctuation", the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY speaks

69 punctuation marks; when the "Symbol" option is chosen it speaks all symbols and no punctuation marks. 3.2.10 Keyboard Echo With this option, you can define what the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY speaks as you type. The shortcut key is "k". The setting values are "On with characters and words," "On with characters," "On with words," and "Off". The default is "On with characters and words," thus each keystroke is announced and each word is spoken when "Space" is pressed. If you select "On with characters," each keystroke is announced as you type it. If you select the "On with words" option, each word is spoken after "Space" is pressed. You can cycle through the options by pressing "Space". 3.2.11 Capitalization alert Use this option to choose how the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY alerts you that a character is capitalized, either when typing or when navigating a document or edit box by character using “Left arrow key” or “Right arrow key”. The shortcut key is "u". The setting values are "Off", "Say cap," and "Pitch". The default value is "Pitch". If you select the default, when you encounter a capital letter, the pitch of the voice is raised to indicate it. If you select "Off", the voice remains the same regardless of upper or lower case. And if you select the "say cap," option, "cap" is spoken before the letter to indicate capitalization. For example, when you encounter the capital letter "V," Braille Sense U2 QWERTY speaks "cap v". 3.2.12 Numbers This option defines how you want the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY to speak numbers. The shortcut key is "n". The default value is "On". If "numbers" is set to "On", "2007" is read as "two thousand seven". If "numbers" is set to

70 "Off", numbers are spoken as digits, and "2007" is read as "two zero zero seven". You can change the value by pressing "Space". 3.2.13 Abbreviations You can turn the translation of acronyms on/off on Braille Sense U2 QWERTY. Use "a", to jump quickly to the "Abbreviations" option in the "Global Options" dialog. If "Abbreviations" is set to "On", when the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY encounters "Ala" it speaks "Alabama". But if "Abbreviations" is set to 'Off', it speaks "Ala". 3.2.14 Voice Volume Use this option to set the volume level of the voice on the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY. The shortcut key is "l”. The volume level can be set using values 1 to 21, with 1 being the lowest volume level and 21 being the highest. Use "Space" to increase the volume by 1 increment, and "Backspace" to decrease it. Ffrom anywhere on the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY, you can increase the volume with "F6" and decrease it with "Shift-F6". 3.2.15 Voice Rate This option controls the rate of the speech on Braille Sense U2 QWERTY.

82 4. File Manager 4.1 Overview The functionality and structure of the "File Manager" on the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY are very similar to "Windows Explorer" on a personal computer. To run the "File Manager", press "f" from the "program" menu or press "Enter" when your cursor is placed on "File Manager". The "File Manager" contains 2 basic areas: an "address window" and a "file list". When you first open the "File Manager", you are placed in the drive list. By default, you are placed on the internal flash drive, named "flashdisk". You can use the up and down arrows (“up arrow button” or “down arrow button”) or the scroll buttons to navigate the items in the drive list. Press "Enter" on the drive you want to open. The Braille Sense U2 QWERTY then displays the list of the files/folders on the drive you have opened. When you press “Tab” or "shift-tab" on the "file list," you enter the "address window". The "address window" contains the path of the current directory or file. For your convenience, the "File Manager" contains both menus and hot keys, allowing you to easily activate items in the program with a single keystroke as well as access and select a function through the menus even if you have not memorized the associated keystroke. YOU can bring up the menus by pressing “Alt”. WARNING!! The Braille Sense U2 QWERTY makes it possible to format the flashdisk to solve corruption problems and/or start over with a clean internal drive. Formatting the flashdisk erases everything on the flashdisk. Be extremely cautious when executing this command. If you execute this command, you will lose all of your data. You will NOT be able to retrieve this data once the command is executed. To format the flashdisk, press and hold "Ctrl-Fn-Left arrow key". While holding down "Ctrl-Fn-Left arrow key," quickly press and release the reset button. Continue holding "Ctrl-Fn-Left arrow key" until you hear the "format start" announcement.

83 4.1.1 Navigating the File List The "File Manager" contains two kinds of lists: the "file list" and the "menu list", or rather, the list of items contained in the "File Manager" menu. The menus in the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY wrap. This means, when you reach the end of the list of items in a menu, the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY automatically brings you back to the top of the list when you press “down arrow button”. However, when you reach the end of a "file list," the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY remains at the end of the list, even if you press “down arrow button”. The following is a list of the keystrokes used for navigating lists: 1. Move to previous item: Up arrow key or up scroll button 2. Move to next item: Down arrow key or down scroll button 3. Move to the beginning of a list: Ctrl-Fn-Left arrow key 4. Move to the end of a list: Ctrl-Fn-Right arrow key The following keystrokes are valid only in a "file list". 1. Jump to folder or file list: Ctrl-Down arrow key 2. Move between file list and address window: Tab / shift-tab 3. Enter the selected folder or open the selected file: Enter 4. Move back a level in the folder structure: Backspace 5. Jump to the drive list: Shift-Backspace 6. Move to the previous group of 32 items: Fn-Up arrow button 7. Move to the next group of 32 items: Fn-down arrow button 8. Jump to a file or folder by pressing the first character of the folder or file name. You must use ASCII characters. 4.1.2 Selecting folders and files 1. Select individual items "Space": * is displayed in front of the item to denote its selection. Pressing "Space" again on the selected folder or file cancels the selection.

84 2. Continuous selection (“Ctrl-b”): This selects all of the items from the point where this command is executed to the item where the cursor is located. * appears in front of the selected items. 3. Select all (“Ctrl-a”): This selects all the files and folders in the current list. You can use navigation keys to move among the selected items to check their selection status. You can cancel selections or reselect de-selected items by pressing "Space". When the "Select All" command is executed, the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY says the number of selected files, and * appears in front of the selected files on the Braille display. 4.1.3 Cancel / Exit Cancel (“ESC”): This command will cancel a function. Exit (“Alt-F4”): This will cancel or stop a selected function or program. 4.2 Working with Files and Folders When you open the "File Manager," the list of available drives is displayed. Navigate to the drive you wish to access, and press "Enter" to open it. The Braille Sense U2 QWERTY displays the list of folders and files on that drive. The items in quotation marks are folders, and the items without quotation marks are files. The items in the list are followed by numbers, such as 1/5 or 2/5. The numbers following the items indicate an item's placement in the list and the total number of items in the list. For example, "database 1/5," indicates "database" is the first folder in a list containing five items. 4.2.1 Selecting drives When you open the "File Manager," the first item in the list is "flashdisk". If an SD card or USB flash drive is inserted, it also appears in this list.

85 Navigate to and select a drive by using the up and down arrows or the scroll buttons.

Within the list, you can select the next item by pressing "down arrow button" and the previous item by pressing “up arrow button”. When the dialog box opens, "Open with: Word processor" is displayed. In this list, you can select a program, the Word Processor, Media Player, or Web Browser. Pressing “down arrow button” selects the next program, and “up arrow button” selects the previous program. Once you have selected the program with which to open the file type, press “Tab” to move to the "adopt" list. If you have selected the Word Processor, pressing “Tab” takes you to an additional list called "Open mode". Using this list, you can specify whether the file is opened as a Braille file or a text file. Press “down arrow button” or “up arrow button” to select one of the two file types, then press “Tab” to move to the "Apply to" radio button. Use this radio button, to specify whether only the currently selected file or all of the files with the same file extension are opened with the specified program. After setting your preference, press "Enter" or “Tab” to move to the "Confirm" button, and then press "Enter" to apply the settings. If you have specified a program that does not support the file type, nothing is displayed or played after the program is launched. If you activate the "Open With" menu after focusing on folders that have DAISY or media files, the associated program, DAISY or Media Player is displayed. If you activate the "Open With" menu, and encounter a folder that does not have the DAISY info file (discinfo.html or ncc.html), the DAISY Player is not displayed as an associated program. You can play all of the files after selecting either the DAISY or Media Player.

For example, if you type in "flashdisk/download" in the address window and press "Enter," the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY displays 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 U2 QWERTY loads the Word Processor, and opens the file "sample.txt". When the file is open, 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 the history list from within the address window by

97 pressing the down arrow (“down arrow button”). Use the up and down arrows (“up arrow button” or “down arrow button”) to review the history list. You can also use the scroll buttons to navigate this list. To open a file in the history list, press "Enter". The file opens with the appropriate application. (See section 4.2.3). While navigating the history list, you may type in new path names or file names to instantly access a file or folder. 4.4 Network and sharing The network file sharing function enables you to share files between your Braille Sense U2 QWERTY and computers connected to the same network, and access files on other computers just as you would files located directly on your Braille Sense U2 QWERTY. In other words, you can copy files on the Braille Sense from other computers on the network, edit files on other computers with the Word Processor or even open media files on other devices and play them in the Media Player on the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY. In addition, you can share folders on your Braille Sense U2 QWERTY and access them from other computers connected to the network. You can share files over a network using LAN or WIRELESS LAN. When using LAN, once the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY is connected, you can easily find and access the shared files of other computers connected to the network. However, when using wireless LAN, it is only possible to access shared files when your Braille Sense U2 QWERTY and the connected computer are at the same layer. This means that you can't search for a computer connected to router A if you are connected to router B, a wireless LAN sub-connection of router A. For more detailed information on LAN/WIRELESS LAN configurations, refer to the "Setup Internet" section of the "Utilities" chapter in this user manual. 4.4.1 Search for shared computers and add to the network

$98 list. When you open the "File Manager", network is displayed in the drive list. The network list consists of the shared folders on computers connected to your network that you have added to the network list. From the network list, you can open the shared folder, or delete the network location from the list. If you have not added shared folders to the network list, this list is empty. To add items to the network list, you must search the network for devices, then select the shared folders on these devices and add them to the network list. To search shared computers connected to the network, Use the "Network Connection Setting" dialog to search for computers with shared content. You can open the "Setup Network connection" dialog box, by pressing "Alt-e" regardless of your position in the File Manager. Or Press “Alt” to open the menu and navigate to "Network Connection Setting" and press "Enter". The "Network Connection Setting" dialog box contains the following controls: "Remote name" computer edit box "Remote folder" list box "Add/Remove" button "Cancel" button When the "Network connection Setting" dialog box is opened using "Alt-e", you are placed on the "Computer name" edit box. Type the computer name with or without backslashes and press "Enter". For example, if the computer name you want to search is "hims", type "\\hims" or "hims" and press "Enter". If the shared computer is found, a login prompt may be displayed according to the shared computer setting. If the computer is running Windows vista or Windows 7, you must enter the folder path as shown below. Ex) "\\hims\sharing", "hims\music" Note: if the shared folder name exceeds 11 characters, it cannot be recognized by the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY.$

99 If the computer you are trying to access does not have a network user name and password specified, type "guest" in the Login edit box and press "Enter". If the computer requires a specific network user name and password, make sure they are entered correctly. If login is successful, you are placed in the Remote Folder list and the folders shared on that computer appear in the list. Move to the desired folder in the list and press "Enter" on the "Add" button. The network location of the shared folder is added to the network list in the File Manager. You may select as many folders as you wish from the Remote Folder list and add them to the network list. Use the following keystrokes to navigate the "Network Connection Setting" dialog: Move to the next control: "Tab” Move to the previous control: "Shift-Tab" Use the following keystrokes in the Remote Folder list. Move to the next item in the list: "down arrow button" Move to the previous item in the list: "up arrow button" Select current item: Space Select all items: Enter-a Use the "Add" button, to add the selected shared folder from the Remote Folder list to the File Manager's network list. From the Remote Folder list, press "enter" to exit the "Network connection Setting" dialog box. YOU can also cancel using "Alt-F4" or "Esc". Once the network locations of the shared folders have been added to the list, they are accessible from the "network" option in the File Manager as long as you are connected to the network where they reside. In other words, if you have added a location for a shared folder on your home network, you cannot access this location from your office as you are no longer connected to the home network on which the shared folder is located. Also remember that you cannot access shared folders on a network if you do not have a wireless or LAN connection to that network.

100 4.4.2 Remove Remote folder(modify) There are 2 ways to remove a remote folder from the File Manager's network list: using the "Remove" option in the network list, or via the "Network Connection Setting" dialog. Using the network list: Execute the File Manager and choose "network" from the drive list. Navigate to the remote folder you want to remove and press "Alt-d". You can also access this function using the menu. Press “Alt” to open the menu. Arrow down to "Remove this remote folder on network" and press "Enter". Using the "network connection setting" dialog: Press "Backspace-e" to open the "network connection setting" dialog. Navigate to the remote folder you want to remove. Press “Tab” to navigate to the "Remove" button and press "Enter". 4.5 Hot Keys in the "File Manager" The following is a list of hot keys that can be used in the File Manager 1. Open: Ctrl-o 2. Open with: Ctrl-h 3. Zip: Ctrl-z 4. Unzip: Ctrl-u 5. Send To: Ctrl-s 6. Copy: Ctrl-c 7. Cut: Ctrl-x 8. Paste: Ctrl-v 9. Delete: DEL 10. Rename: F2 11. New document: Ctrl-n

102 5. Word Processor When you launch the Word Processor on the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY, it places you in a new, blank document. The menu can be opened by pressing “Alt”. Don't worry if you can't remember the exact shortcut keys for all of the Word Processor functions, as you can activate all the functions of the Word Processor via the Word Processor menu. The menu in the Word Processor consists of File, Edit, Go To, Read, and Layout. To access these menus, press “Alt” in the Word Processor, select a menu item, and press "Enter". Or, you can press “Alt” followed by the shortcut for the corresponding menu item. For example to open the edit menu, press “Alt” to open the menu, and navigate to the Edit menu by pressing up and down arrows (“up arrow button” and “down arrow button”) and press "Enter". Or, press “Alt” and press "e". 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 discover your location by pressing "Fn-s". In addition, if you are editing a document, and turn the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY off, it announces the status when you power back on. In the next few sections the features of the Word Processor are explained in more detail. The functions of each of the available menu items are also explained. 5.1 File Menu The "File" menu contains the functions that allow you to create new documents, open documents saved to a disk, save edited documents, and print and emboss. It also contains various option settings. To select the file menu, press “Alt”, and press "f". Or, press "Enter" on "File". 5.1.1 New The new command creates a new, editable document. By default, the name of the new document is "noname.brl". The extension, ".brl" is the extension

103 given to documents that are created in Braille on the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY. It is the same file name that is created automatically when the Word Processor opens. Note: if you have changed your default document type in the "Global Options", the extension may be _TXT or HBLIND, as your default document type can be set to Braille, text, or Sense document. To create a new document, select "New" from the "File" menu. Or, press "Ctrl-n". If "New" is executed while editing another document, you are prompted for the file type of the new document: "Sense Document (s)" is displayed first. If you press “down arrow button” repeatedly, "Braille Document (b)" and "Text Document (t)" are displayed. Select the document type you want, and press "Enter". "New" refers to creating a new, blank document after closing the document that is currently being edited. Closing the document currently being edited means that the document is erased from the temporary memory. If a new document is created or opened without saving the document currently being edited, the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY asks whether to save the current document, so that changes to it are not lost. When "Save: Yes" is displayed, users can select "Yes" To save the current document or select "No" in order not to save the changes. If you press "Space" once more and select "Cancel", the Word Processor cancels the new document, and returns to the current document. 5.1.2 Open (modify) The open command opens a document that has already been saved on to a disk. Select “Open” on the “File” menu, or press “Ctrl-o.” You can access the “File” menu by pressing “Alt”. 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

104 “tab” or “shift-tab.” 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 Braille Sense U2 QWERTY 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 “Down arrow key.” The file names that were opened recently are displayed one by one by pressing “Down arrow key.” If the file open 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 “Up arrow key.” In order to open a file with a different file format, press “tab” to move to the file format selection, and then press the up arrow or down arrow 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” 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” when you are at the “File name:” dialog box. The files in the “file list” have the file format that was selected in “file type.” You can select a file that you want by using the up and down scroll buttons, and you can open the file by pressing “Enter.” If you select a folder and press “Enter,” you will see the list of files in that folder. If you want to access a file that is on a compact flash card, or USB memory stick, you can access the file in the “Open” dialog box by first moving to the “file list” by pressing “shift-tab. Then, press “Backspace” until you hear the USB stick memory or the compact flash card. Then, press “Enter” to open the memory. The Braille Sense U2 QWERTY will choose the Braille mode depending upon the file type. For example, if you press “Enter” to select a file that has the extensions hbl or brl, or if you type in a file name with those extensions and press “Enter,” the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY will open the selected file in Contracted 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 grade” of “global options”. After the file opens, you can switch the Braille

105 mode, as was explained in section 3.4. If you press “Enter” at the other file format, you can select the file format; Braille format, or text format. You can toggle between “Braille format” and “Text format” by pressing the “Space”. Press “Enter” when the desired format is displayed. If the Braille format is selected, the document will be opened in Contracted Braille. And, if the text format is selected, the document will be opened in Braille mode that is currently set in “View grade” of “global options”. In the word processor of the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY, it is possible to open and work simultaneously with up to 10 files at one time. If you already have one document open, and you try to open another document, the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY will ask you if you want to save changes to the document that is already open. Then, you can save the file. Once you have completed saving the document, an open dialog box will appear. However, you will still have the two files open. It only seems that you closed one without saving it. With the new document open, if you want to go to the previous document, you can press “shift-tab.” If you want to go back to the other document again, press “tab.” 5.1.3 Save The save command saves a document to a disk. To use this option, press “Alt” to open the "File" menu and execute the "Save" command by pressing "Enter" on it, or you can press "s" to quickly jump to and execute it. You can also use the hot key, “Ctrl-s” while editing a document. If the document has not been saved previously, when you execute "Save", "Save as dialog" opens. You can refer to section 5.1.4 for information on how to use the "Save as dialog". If you execute "Save" after editing an existing document, Braille Sense U2 QWERTY saves the document with your changes under the same file name without opening a dialog. After saving a document, you are returned to document editing.

106 When you have several documents open, you can save and close the focused document, by pressing "Ctrl-F4". The document is saved and closed, and your focus is placed in the previous document in the tab order. Note: 1) Though you can open PDF and unprotected EPUB files in the Word Processor, they cannot be saved under these file types as editing in these formats is not supported. If you save one of these documents, the "Save as" dialog opens so that you can save in one of the file types supported by the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY. 2) When saving as "rtf" and "doc", the file formatting is lost as the creation of advanced formatting is not supported in the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY. 5.1.4 Save As The "Save As" option is used to save a document under a different file name, in a different location, or as a different file type. To execute this command, press “Alt”, and press "Enter" when the "File" menu is displayed. Move to "Save As" by pressing “down arrow button”. Then, press "Enter". Or, use the hot key, "Ctrl-s", while editing a document. If you execute "Save As", the "Save as dialog" is displayed. This dialog is almost the same as the "Open" dialog. It consists of "file list", "File name", "Type" (representing the file format), a "Confirm" button, and a "Cancel" button. When the dialog opens, "File name:" is displayed. You can move among the controls by pressing “Tab” or "shift-tab". If you execute "Save As" when you are editing an existing document, the displayed file name, file format, and the folder are the same as those of the existing file. When executing "Save as", on "PDF" and "EPUB", documents, the formatting is lost as these files are converted to txt format on opening. If you execute "Save" or "Save As" while in a new document, the displayed default file name is "noname.brl" and the file path is "flashdisk/My Documents/". To edit the displayed file name, press the cursor routing key at the position you want to edit, and modify it. Or, to create a new file name, simply type in

$107 the new file name to overwrite what is currently in the edit box. You cannot use the following characters in a file or folder name. “|, \, <, >, ?, :, *” To change the file format, navigate to "Type". Move to your desired file format by pressing “up arrow button” or “down arrow button”. To save a file with a file name that is in the file list, move to the "file list" by pressing "shift-tab". 5.1.5 Close Current Document The "Close Current Document" command allows you to close the currently focused document without closing the Word Processor. You can access the "Close Current Document" command by pressing “Alt”. Then, press "Enter" on the "File" menu. Use the up and down arrows (“up arrow button” and “down arrow button”) to navigate to "Close Current Document", and press "Enter". Or, you can press "q" in the "File" menu. You can also access this function by pressing "Ctrl-F4" while editing a document. Please note that this function is not available if you only have one document open. You must have at least two or more documents open to execute the "Close Current Document" command. 5.1.6 Print The "Print" command is used to print or emboss the current document. To execute this command, press “Alt”, and press "Enter" on the "File" menu. Then, move to "Print" by pressing “down arrow button”, and press "Enter", or just press "p”. While editing a document, the hot key for printing is "Ctrl-p". There are two lower level dialogs for the "Print" option. One is for printing with an ink printer, and the other is for embossing in Braille. Remember that you can move between the menu items by using “up arrow button” or “down arrow button”. 1. Embossing in Braille Open the document that you want to emboss. Press “Alt” to activate the menu. Locate "print" in the "File" menu and select "Embosser", or press "b".$

108 When you select "Embosser (b)" above, the "Embosser dialog" is opened and contains the following items: 1) Start page number This is the first 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 a new value. Press “down arrow button” to move to "End page number" 2) End page number This is the last page number to be embossed. The default value is set to 100000. This means the document is embossed to the end of the document, unless the document exceeds 100000 pages. To change the value, input the number of the end page. Use “down arrow button” to move the "Number of copies"). 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 your desired number of copies. Press “down arrow button” to navigate to "Set Braille format". 4) Set Braille format In this option, you can set whether or not the Braille document layout settings specified in Braille Sense U2 QWERTY are used when embossing. If you set this to "Yes", the document is embossed using the Braille document layout settings in Braille Sense U2 QWERTY. If you set it to "No", the document is embossed in the format specified in the original document. 5) Confirm / Cancel To begin embossing the document, move to "Confirm" by pressing “Tab”, and press "Enter". Or, to cancel embossing, move to "Cancel" by pressing “Tab”, and press "Enter". When "Enter" is pressed on "Confirm", "Print: Yes" is displayed. Press "Enter" on "Yes", and embossing commences. If you do not want to emboss, press "Space" to select "No", and press "Enter". You can also choose to

109 create an electronic Braille file of the document according to the embossing preferences. To do this, press "Space" once more to select "Save as file", press"Enter", and the current document is saved as a "brl" file. If you've chosen to emboss, and there are problems with the Braille printer, the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY shows an error message and returns to the open document. 2. Print Text This option is used when you want to print a document on an ink printer. To do so, open the document to be printed and press “Alt”, and press "Enter" on the "File" menu. Move to "Print" by pressing “down arrow button” repeatedly, and press "Enter". Or just press "p" from the "File" menu. The dialog for the "Printer" is almost the same as for the "Embosser". After you input the values as in the embosser dialog, press “Tab” and press "Enter" on "Confirm". "Print: Yes" is displayed. If "Enter" is pressed, printing commences. If you press "Space" to move to "No", and press "Enter", printing is canceled, and the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY returns you to the open document. Note that the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY is compatible with all HP printers (level PCL 3 or higher), and with HP-compatible printers. 5.1.7 Settings To change your Word Processor preferences, press “Alt”, and press "Enter" on "File". Move to "Settings (e)" by pressing “down arrow button” repeatedly, and press "Enter" or just press "e” from the "File" menu. While editing a document, pressing "Ctrl-e" opens the "Settings" dialog. The "Settings" dialog contains the following: the "settings" list, "Default folder" button, "Confirm" button and a "Cancel" button. You can move among the controls by pressing “Tab” or "shift-tab". And you can move among the items in the settings list by pressing “up arrow button” or “down arrow button”. The following are the settings that can be changed: 1. View format character (Yes/No): If this option is set to "Yes", all of the format characters are displayed. Use "Space" to toggle this option.

110 Formatted characters are marked as "carriage return ($p)", and the "mark indicator ($pl)". 2. Reading unit (Line/Paragraph): Defines the unit of movement when pressing “up arrow button” or “down arrow button” while reading a document. If this option is set to "Line", “up arrow button” moves up line by line. If this option is set to "Paragraph", “up arrow button” moves backward in a document paragraph by paragraph. 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 to protect the document from any unintentional modifications. To change it to "No", press "Space". 4. Reading mode (Original/Compressed): This option sets the reading mode. Original reading mode shows the document in its original format. In "Compressed" reading mode, The Braille Sense U2 QWERTY displays document content on the Braille display continuously without regard to formatting such as carriage returns ($p). To toggle between "Original" and "Compressed" reading modes, press "Space". 5. Auto scroll speed (1~35): This option sets the duration of displaying one Braille display length while you are auto scrolling in a document. Thirty-five is the fastest scrolling speed. Pressing "Space" increases the scroll speed and "Backspace" decreases it. 6. Automatic save interval (Don't save automatically, 10~60): This option defines the automatic save time interval for 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. If you do not wish for the document to be saved automatically, choose "Don't save automatically". 7. Apply settings to all documents (Yes/No): This option allows you to apply the current settings to all documents. If "Yes" is selected, the settings apply to all documents, if "No" is selected, the settings affect only the document currently being edited. To toggle between "Yes" and "No", press "Space". To change the default save-to folder, move to the "Default folder" button by pressing "tab" and press "Enter". You are placed in the "file list". Navigate to

111 the folder or disk you want using normal navigation keys, press "Space" on the folder you wish to select, and press "Enter". When you are finished setting your preferences, move to the "Confirm" button by pressing "tab" and press "Enter". If you do not want to save the settings, press "Enter" on the "Cancel" button. Activating the "confirm" or "Cancel" buttons performs the operation and returns you to the document you are currently editing. 5.1.8 Exit This command closes the Word Processor. To execute this command, select "Exit" from the file menu, or press "Alt-F4". If you have edited the document and have not saved the changes, when you select "Exit", you are prompted to save the current document. You can select "Yes" or "No" with the spacebar and press "Enter" to exit the Word Processor. 5.2 Edit Menu On the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY, you can edit all files regardless of what the view/input grade is set to. The "Edit" menu contains 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". To open the menu, press “Alt”, and press "Enter" on "Edit". Or, you can press "e" from the menu. 5.2.1 Start Selection The "Start Selection" command allows you to select a certain portion of text that you would like to edit. When you use the "Start Selection" command, the cursor appears as blinking "dots 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8" to indicate what text is being selected. When text is selected, you can make changes to only the selected text, without affecting the text in the rest of the document. This command is especially useful for copying, cutting, and pasting.

112 To select text in a document, place your cursor on the location at which you want to start selecting text. Press “Alt” to open the "Edit" menu, and press "Enter" on "Start Selection", or you can press "b" in the "Edit" menu to get to this option. While editing a document, pressing “Ctrl-b” activates this command. The end point of the selected text is determined by the location at which you place the cursor after setting the start point. For example, if you have typed the word, "mother" in a document, and you want to select the word "mother", place the cursor on the letter m, activate the "Start selection command", and place the cursor directly after the letter rather. The word "mother" is selected. 5.2.2 Copy After selecting text in a document, press “Alt” to open the menu, and move to "Edit" by pressing “down arrow button”. Press "Enter" to open the "Edit" menu. Press “down arrow button” to move to "Copy" and press "Enter", or press "c" from the "Edit" menu. While editing a document, pressing "Ctrl-c” activates this command. When you copy the selected text, it is copied to the clipboard. The clipboard is the virtual space that is used for storing copied data temporarily. If you copy new text to the clipboard, the data in the clipboard that you copied previously is erased, and is replaced by the current text selection. 5.2.3 Cut To cut a selection of text, press “Alt”, and press "Enter" on "Edit". Move to "Cut" by pressing “down arrow button” repeatedly, and press "Enter", or press "x" from the "Edit" menu. While editing a document, pressing "Ctrl-x" activates the "Cut" command. The difference between "Cut" and "Copy" is that if you execute the "Cut" command, the selected text is moved to the clipboard and the selection is removed from the document. The "Copy" command simply copies the selection to the clipboard, and the selected text remains in the document.

113 5.2.4 Paste To paste selected text to the clipboard, press “Alt”, and press "Enter" on "Edit". Move to "Paste" by pressing “down arrow button” repeatedly and press "Enter", or press "v" from the "Edit" menu. While editing a document, press "Ctrl-v" to paste the text from the clipboard to your current cursor location. 5.2.5 Delete To delete selected text, press “Alt”, and press "Enter" on "Edit". Move to "Delete" by pressing “down arrow button” repeatedly, and press "Enter", or press "d" from the "Edit" menu. While editing a document, you can press "Del" to delete selected text. 5.2.6 Delete Blank Lines To delete blank lines, you must select the area of the document from which you want the blank lines to be deleted. Once done, press “Alt”, and press "Enter" on "Edit". Move to "Delete blank lines" using “up arrow button” or “down arrow button” and press "Enter", or press "l" from the "Edit" menu. To delete empty lines while editing a document, press "Alt-e". 5.2.7 Add to Clipboard To add selected text to the clipboard, press “Alt”, and press "Enter" on "Edit". Move to "Add To Clipboard" by pressing “down arrow button”, and press "Enter", or press "p”. While editing a document, pressing "Ctrl-Insert" activates this command. "Add To Clipboard" is almost the same as the "Copy" command. However, while the "Copy" command replaces the text copied previously with the newly selected text, the "Add To Clipboard" command does not erase the previously copied data, but appends the newly selected text to the clipboard.

114 5.2.8 Clear Clipboard To clear the clipboard, press “Alt”, and press "Enter" on "Edit". Move to "Clear Clipboard" by pressing “down arrow button” repeatedly, and press "Enter". Or, you can press "e" from the "Edit" menu. Executing the "Clear Clipboard" command erases everything on the clipboard. While editing a document, you can press "Ctrl-Del" to activate this command. 5.2.9 Select All The "Select All" command selects all text in a document. To activate this command, press “Alt”, and press "Enter" on "Edit". Move to "Select All" by pressing “down arrow button” repeatedly, and press "Enter", or press "a" from the "Edit" menu. While editing a document, press "Ctrl-a" to activate this function. 5.2.10 Insert from File This command inserts another file in the document you are currently editing. To execute this command, press “Alt”, and press "Enter" on the "Edit" menu. Move to "Insert from File" by pressing “down arrow button” repeatedly and press "Enter", or press "I" from the "Edit" menu. While editing a document, pressing “Ctrl-i" activates this function. When you use this option, an insert dialog is displayed similar to the "Open" dialog. Select file you want to insert, and press "Enter". The selected file is inserted at the beginning of the paragraph on which your cursor is located. When you execute "Insert from File", if the format of the inserted file differs from your current document, the text inserted from the file is converted to the file format of the current document. For example, if you insert "sample.txt" in "sample.brf" and save it, the saved file is "sample.brf".

139 6. Address Manager 6.1 What is the "Address Manager"? The "Address Manager" is a program that you can use to keep track of your contact information for friends and colleagues, such as company addresses, home addresses, e-mail addresses, as well as other information. The "Address Manager" consists of two main dialogs: "Add Address" and "Search Address". In the "Add Address" dialog you can enter contact information, such as names, company addresses, home addresses and so on. In the "Search Address", dialog you can look for information that is stored in the "Address Manager". You can edit or delete information you find. You can also select addresses to be printed using an ink print or Braille printer. IN addition, you can 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 the "Address Manager" by typing "a", or by selecting the "Address Manager". Press “down arrow button” or “up arrow button” 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 the "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.

140 6.2 Starting the "Address Manager" When you press "Enter" on the "Address Manager" in the "program" menu, the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY says, "Search Address", and displays the prompt, "Last name:" and the "Search Address" dialog is opened. In the "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 you want to execute, you can press “Alt” to open the menu and access all of the functions there. 6.3 Using "Add Address" This dialog allows you to enter new addresses in the "Address Manager". To use the "Add Address" function, press “Alt” to bring up the "Address Manager" menu, then press “up arrow button”, “down arrow button” or the up and down scroll buttons to move to "Add Address". Then, press "Enter". Or, press "Ctrl-n" directly from in the "Address Manager". 6.3.1 Adding an Address "Add address" is a dialog 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” or "shift-tab". Among the 22 input fields, you can move from one field to the next by pressing the “up arrow button”, “down arrow button” or the up and down scroll buttons. Type in the appropriate information for each field, and press the down arrow button to move to the next field. You do not have to fill in all of the fields. To skip a field, press the down arrow (“down arrow button”), and the field is left blank. You are then prompted for the information for the next field.

141 When you have entered information in the desired fields, you can save the information by pressing “Tab” or "shift-tab" repeatedly to move to the "Confirm" button and press "Enter". Or, you can press "Enter" in any field. If you don't want to save the information, press “Tab” or "shift-tab" repeatedly to move to the "Cancel" button, then press "Enter". After you cancel the entry, you are prompted to enter information into another record, beginning with the "Last name" field. You can 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 to the left, the first input field ("Last name:") is displayed and you can type a name. To enter a mobile phone number without entering other information, press the 5th cursor routing key, then enter the phone number. To jump to the "Home e-mail" field, the 20th field, press the 20th cursor routing key. If you have pressed the 23rd cursor routing key, or any key to the right of the 23rd key is pressed, you will hear a warning sound because there are only 23 fields in a record. You can enter telephone numbers. To type in a dash (-) while typing in a telephone number (e.g. 000-000-0000), you should press “-”. If you want to put an extension number after any phone number, enter the phone number as described above, and then type a comma (,), followed by the extension number, as in “000-000-0000,100.” When you enter a home page address or an e-mail address, you should enter the information using keys. For the @ (at sign), you should press “@.” A period in a home page address (or an e-mail address) should be entered as “.” A colon (:) can be typed in using “:” and a slash (/) can be typed in using “/”. By pressing “tab,” 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” until you reach the “Confirm” button. Then, press “Enter” on “Confirm.”

142 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 “Alt” to bring up the menu, then select "Set Address Field", or press "o" then press "Enter". Or, you can press “Ctrl-o” from the "Add Address" dialog. On the right side of each field name, "used" or "unused" is displayed. The default value is set to "used". To toggle the value, press "Space". After setting all the fields you want to change, move to the "Confirm" button or the "Cancel" button by pressing “Tab” or "shift-tab", then press "Enter" to save or cancel the changes. You can also cancel the changes by pressing "Esc" or "Alt-F4". 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 “Alt” to open the menu. Next move to "Search Address", then press "Enter", or press "s". You can also press “Ctrl-s” from the "Add Address" dialog. If you have entered information in a record before executing "Search Address", you are asked, "Save changes? Yes/No". After you make your choice, the "Search Address" dialog is displayed. 6.4 Searching For an Address 6.4.1 Using "search address" The "Search Address" dialog enables you to search for information stored in the "Address Manager". If you execute the "Address Manager" from the "program" menu, the "Search Address" dialog is opened automatically. To

143 open "Search Address" from "Add Address", you can either select it from the menu, and press "Enter", or press “Ctrl-s” from the "Add Address" dialog. If you press "Enter" in the "Search Address" dialog, without typing any text, when "Last name:" is displayed, you can browse through all of the records that are stored in the "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 “down arrow button”. To move to the previous record, press “up arrow button”. To navigate fields and records in the search result list, you can use the following hot keys: Move to a previous field in a record: Ctrl-Left arrow key Move to the next field in a record: Ctrl-Right arrow key Move to the first field in a record: Fn-Left arrow key Move to the last field in a record: Fn-Right arrow key Move to the previous record: Up arrow key Move to the next record: Down arrow key Move to the first record: Ctrl-fn-Left arrow key Move to the last record: Ctrl-fn-Right arrow key Move to previous same field different record: Left arrow key Move to next same field different record: Right arrow key You can also search records using the other fields. To find records with a company name, press “down arrow button” repeatedly until "company name:" is heard. Then, type the company name, and press "Enter". The first record that has the company name is displayed. When you enter text to be searched, you do not have to type the entire content of a field. For example, to find a record about "Edward", type in "ed" in the "search name" field. Then, all the records whose name field contains "ed" is found. 6.4.2 Setting Searching Address Fields

144 This option enables you to select the fields that you want to search. Press “Alt” to bring up the menu, and select "Set Address Search Fields". Then, press "Enter". Or, you can press “Ctrl-o” from the "Set Address Search Fields" dialog. To search only the name, mobile phone number, and company telephone number fields, move to those fields that you do not want to search by pressing “down arrow button” or “up arrow button”, 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". 6.4.3 Using "Add Address" In "Search Address" You can also access the "Add Address" command from the "Search Address" dialog. To do this, press “Alt” to bring up the menu, then select "Add Address". Then, press "Enter". You can also press "Ctrl-n", from the "Search Address" dialog. 6.5 Backing up and restoring the address list 6.5.1 Backup Address List If you perform a hard reset, or if your battery dies, all of the data in the "Address Manager" is 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 “Alt”. Then, use the up and down arrows button, to navigate to "Backup Address List". Then, press "Enter". You can also press "u" from the menu to get to "Backup Address List". Or, you can press "Ctrl-u" to activate this function directly. If you already have a backup file, you are prompted, "Backup file already exists. Continue to backup? Yes". If you have made changes to your address list, press "Enter" to create a new backup file. To keep the previous backup file press “down arrow button”, to move to "No", and press "Enter". When you create a backup file in your address list, you will have a new

145 backup file with the extension DAT, and you will have another file with the extension BAK created from the previous "address.dat" file). 6.5.2 Restore Address List To restore the address list after a hard reset, press “Alt” to open 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" from the menu to find "Restore Address List". You can also press "Ctrl-r" to activate this function, directly. If you activate the "Restore Address List" function, and you already have an address list, you are prompted, "Address file already exists. Which do you prefer? Append". If you press "Enter", the backup address list is appended to the current address list. If you press “down arrow button” once and press "Enter" on "Overwrite", the new backup file is restored, 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 are deleted. If you don't want to either "Append" or "Overwrite", press “down arrow button”, to navigate to "Cancel", and press "Enter". 6.5.3 Setting Backup Options You can back up your address list manually using the "Backup Address List" function. You can also backup your address list automatically using the "Set Backup Options". To activate the "Set Backup Options" function, press “Alt” to open the menu. Then press “down arrow button” or “up arrow button” repeatedly to locate "Set Backup Options". Then press "Enter". Or, you can press "e" from the menu to go to "Set Backup Options". You can also activate the function directly by pressing "Ctrl-e". When you activate this function, a dialog opens. The dialog has three controls: "Backup mode" radio button, a "Confirm" button, and a "Cancel"

146 button. You can move among the controls by pressing “Tab” or "shift-tab". To move among radio buttons, press “up arrow button”, "Backspace", “down arrow button”, 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 is automatically created when you exit the "Address Manager" if you modify the address list or add other information. 2. If you select the "Manual backup", it does not create a new backup file even if there are changes to the address list. In this case, you can only create a new backup file using the "backup address list" menu option. 3. If you select the "Prompt backup changes when exiting", the message "Backup changes? Yes" appears when you exit the "Address Manager", if you have modified the address list or added other information. If you press "Enter" on "Yes", a new backup file is created and the "Address Manager" is closed. If you press “down arrow button” once and press "Enter" on "No", it will exit without making a new backup file. You can change the backup mode by pressing "Enter" after focusing on one of the three radio buttons. Or, you can press "Enter" on "Confirm" after moving to it using “Tab”. The default backup mode is set to "Prompt backup changes when exiting. 6.6 Importing and Exporting CSV "CSV" is the acronym for Comma Separated Value. A CSV file is used for the digital storage of data structured in a table form, with the information in the various columns separated using commas.

157 7. Schedule Manager 7.1 Overview The "Schedule Manager" is a program used to manage important information about appointments, anniversaries, and events. The Schedule Manager can also inform you of appointments at a specified time using alarms. You can start the "Schedule Manager" from the "program" menu, by pressing the up or down arrows (“up arrow button” or “down arrow button”) to move to "Schedule Manager". Then, press "Enter". Or, you can press "s" from the "program" menu. The "Schedule Manager" has two main dialog boxes: "Add Schedule" and "Search Schedule". In "Add Schedule", you can enter information for a new appointment. Using "Search Schedule", you can look for information about a specific appointment stored in the "Schedule Manager", and edit or delete the schedule information. 7.2 Starting "Schedule Manager" When you press "Enter" on "Schedule Manager", or press "s" from the "program" menu, the "Search Schedule" dialog box is displayed so you can quickly search for an appointment. You are prompted for a "Find date:" with the current date filled in as the default. To add a new appointment or schedule, press “Alt” to open the menu. Then, select "Add Schedule", then press "Enter". Or, you can quickly open the "Add Schedule dialog" by pressing "Ctrl-n" from the "Search Schedule" dialog. As with other programs on the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY, you can use menus and shortcut keys in the "Schedule Manager". 7.3 Setting time and date Due to the nature of appointments and schedules, it is very important that dates and times are entered correctly to ensure that your schedule is accurate and you are alerted to your appointments at the proper times

158 through the "Check Today's SCHEDULE" option as well as the alarms that can be associated with appointments in the "Schedule Manager". As date and time entry is associated with several programs on the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY, such as the "Wake up Alarm", the "time And Date" option in the Utilities Menu, and of course the "Schedule Manager", The Braille Sense U2 QWERTY provides you with a consistent interface for entering time and date information in these dialog boxes. Before we start talking about using the "Schedule Manager" we will 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, outlined at the end of this section. When you type numbers in date/time, you can use either computer Braille (without a number sign) or regular grade 1 Braille (with or without a number sign). When entering time, use "hh mm" format, two digits for the hour, and two digits for the minute separated by a colon.. For example, use "10 05" to enter 5 minutes past 10. You can enter a date in "mm dd yyyy" format, two digits for the month, two digits for the day, and four digits for the year, as in "09 01 2004", with slashes separating the day, month, and year. You may also select the various components of your date and time using navigation keys: 1. Date setting keys Move to the next day: Right arrow key Move to the previous day: Left arrow key Move to the next week: Ctrl-Right arrow key Move to the previous week: Ctrl-Left arrow key Move to the next month: Down arrow key Move to the previous month: Up arrow key Move to the next year: Ctrl-Down arrow key Move to the previous year: Ctrl-Up arrow key 2. Time setting keys Move to 1 hour after: Down arrow key Move to 1 hour before: Up arrow key

159 Move to 10 minutes after: Ctrl-Right arrow key Move to 10 minutes before: Ctrl-Left arrow key Move to 1 minute after: Right arrow key Move to 1 minute before: Left arrow key 7.4 Adding a Schedule To add a new appointment, press “Alt” to open the menu. Select "Add Schedule", and press "Enter", or press "Ctrl-n" from the "Search Schedule" dialog. The "Add Schedule" dialog 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". You can move among the input fields by pressing “Tab” or "shift-tab". For the "Subject" and "Memo" fields, you can type 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 the shortcut keys described above. If you press "Enter" on the "Confirm" button, the schedule information is saved. If you press "Enter" on the "Cancel" button, the entry is not saved. 7.4.1 Start date When you start "Add Schedule", the "Start date" edit box is displayed. To use the date displayed, simply press “Tab” to move to the next field. To enter a new date, type month/day/year. Press “Tab” to move to the next field. If you press "Enter" accidentally after filling in this field, you are prompted, "no subject", then the focus moves to the "Subject" field. Note: The default "Start date" varies in the following 2 ways: 1. If you have not searched for an appointment, the default start date is today's date. 2. If you have searched for an appointment on a specific date, the default start date is the last date you searched. If you search appointments by subject, the default start date is today's date.

160 7.4.2 Start time "Start time" is the second field in the "Add Schedule" dialog. By default, this field shows the current time. If you set the time format as "12 hour" in this option, the time is displayed in "am/pm" format. Otherwise, the time is displayed in 24 hour format. If you have set the time format to "12 hour" press "Fn-x" to change between am and pm. After you have entered the time, press “Tab” to move to the next field. If you press "Enter" accidentally after entering this field, you are prompted, "no subject", then the focus moves to the "Subject" field. 7.4.3 End date The "End date" is the third field in the "Add Schedule" dialog. By default, the date is the same date as you set in the "Start date" field. To use this date, press “Tab” to move to the next field. To enter a new date, type month/day/year. Press “Tab” to move to the next field. 7.4.4 End time "End time" is the fourth field in the "Add Schedule" dialog. By default, the end time is the same time as you set in the "Start time" field. To change the time, type the time as hhmm. Press “Tab” to move to the next field. 7.4.5 Subject "Subject" is the fifth field. Type the subject of an appointment. If you do not enter anything in this field, you cannot save the record. If you press "Enter" after typing in the subject, the record is saved, leaving the "Location" and "Memo" field empty, and the "Alarm time" field set to its default value ("Time of appointment"). To move to the next field press “Tab”.

161 7.4.6 Location In the "Location" field, type location of your appointment. If you press "Enter" after typing in the location, the record is saved, leaving the "Memo" field empty, and the "Alarm time" field set to its default value ("Time of appointment"). To move to the next field, press “Tab”. 7.4.7 Memo In the "Memo" field, you can enter detailed information about an appointment. This is a multi-line edit box, meaning you can type more than one line of text. You can use most of the editing commands that are used in the "Word processor". Press "Enter" to create a new line. You can leave this field blank if you wish. Press “Tab” to move to the next field. 7.4.8 Alarm Time The "Alarm time" function allows you to set the time when you are 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 sounds at the same time as your appointment. You can set the time as when you set the appointment time. The time can be set anywhere from one minute to forty-seven hours before the appointment. To set the time with shortcut keys, use the following commands. 1. Time setting keys Move to 1 hour after: Down arrow key Move to 1 hour before: Up arrow key Move to 10 minutes after: Ctrl-Right arrow key Move to 10 minutes before: Ctrl-Left arrow key Move to 1 minute after: Right arrow key

162 Move to 1 minute before: Left arrow key If you attempt to set the time to 0, the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY displays the message, "Time of appointment". If you do not want to set an alarm when "Alarm time" is set to "Time of appointment", press “up arrow button”. "Alarm off" is displayed, and the alarm for this appointment is turned off. After setting the "Alarm time", save this appointment by pressing "Enter", or by pressing “Tab” to move to the "Confirm" button, and press "Enter". If you have set the "Alarm time", it sounds at the specified time even if the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY is turned off. To stop the alarm, press "Ctrl". 7.4.9 Setting a recurring Schedule You can set this option when the schedule you are creating recurs periodically. If you clear this check box, the schedule is set to occur once. You can check or uncheck this option by pressing "Space". If you have unchecked this box, press "Enter", or press “Tab” repeatedly to move to the "Confirm" button and press "Enter" to save the schedule. To set a recurring schedule, press "Space" then press “Tab” or "Enter" to move to the combo box where you can set the recurrence pattern. In this combo box, you can select from "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”, the focus moves 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. When you use this option, be sure the difference between the start and end date is 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 receive an error message, "The appointment duration should be shorter than the recurring interval".

163 This is because it is logically impossible that the appointment duration is 27 hours, and the appointment recurs every 24 hours. This rule is applied in the same way when you set weekly, monthly, or yearly recurring appointments. If you press “Tab” after setting the recurring interval, the "Set recurrence end date" check box appears. By default, it's unchecked, which indicates that the appointment recurs indefinitely. If you check this box by pressing "Space", and press “Tab”, the focus moves to the edit combo box for entering the end date. Enter the do 7.4.9.2 Weekly Press “Tab” to move to the "Recurring interval" edit box, after you set the "Recurrence" to weekly. Choose the number of weeks between each recurrence. You can type a number between 1 and 999. If you set it to 1, the appointment recurs every week, and if you set it to 2, it recurs 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. Or you receive the error message, "The appointment duration should be shorter than the recurring interval". Press “Tab” and the focus moves 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 “up arrow button” or “down arrow button”. To select or unselect the current item, press "Space". You can make more than one selection, thus the appointment recurs on more than one day during the week. If you don't select a day, it is set to the today's week day. Press “Tab”, and the focus moves to the "Set recurrence end date" check box. 7.4.9.3 Monthly If you press “Tab” after setting the "Recurrence to monthly", the focus moves to the "Recurring type" combo box. You can set the recurring type as "Date" or "Day of the week". To move between the two options, use “up arrow button” or “down arrow button”. "Date" is used when you want to set an appointment recurring on the same day of a month, for example, on the 17th

164 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 day of the week of a month, for example, on Wednesday of the second week of every month. After selecting the "Recurring type", press “Tab” 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. Press “Tab” and different fields are shown depending on what you have selected in "Recurring type". If you set the "Recurring type" to "Date", an edit box is 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” after setting this option, the focus moves to "Set recurrence end date". 7.4.9.4 Yearly If you set the "Recurrence" to "Yearly", press “Tab” 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 “up arrow button” or “down arrow button”. 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” after setting "Recurring type", the focus moves to the "Month for recurrence" combo box. You can select the month of the year by pressing “up arrow button” or “down arrow button”. If you press “Tab” here, the focus moves to different fields, depending on how you have set the "Recurring type". If you have set the "Recurring type" to "Date", the focus moves to "Day for recurrence" edit box. You can type a number between 1 and 31. If you press “Tab” the focus moves to the "Set recurrence end date" check box. If the "Recurring type" is set to "Day of the week", you have to set "recurring week" and "Day of week for recurrence". 7.4.10 Confirm

165 If you press "Enter" on the "Confirm" button, the appointment is saved, and the "Add Schedule" dialog is closed. 7.4.11 Cancel If you press "Enter" on the "Cancel" button, the appointment information you entered is discarded, and you are returned to the "Add Schedule" dialog where you can create a new appointment. You can also cancel the entry by pressing "Esc". 7.5 Search Schedule "Search schedule" is used for searching Appointments that you have entered previously. When you start "Schedule Manager", the "Search Schedule" dialog is opened. You can also open this dialog from the "Add Schedule" dialog, by pressing “Ctrl-s”. Or you can open the menu by pressing “Alt”, and press "Enter" on "Search Schedule". There are two methods for searching an appointment: "searching by subject" and "searching by date". When "searching by subject", you can find a schedule using keywords in the subject field. When "searching by date", you can find schedules according to a specified date. To toggle the search mode, press “Alt” to open the menu and move to "Toggle Search Mode" and press "Enter". Or you can execute it by pressing "Ctrl-f" directly. Every time you press "Ctrl-f", the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY says, "Search mode: Date" or "Search mode: Subject", and the searching mode is toggled. The last searching mode you used is saved when you exit the Schedule Manager. 7.5.1 Searching by date This mode searches the schedule using a date you specify. When "Search Schedule" is executed in this mode, the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY says, "Find date: (current date)".

166 If you press "Enter" here, the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY searches for appointments occurring today. To search for another date, you can type the date in the format "mm/dd/yyyy", or use the "move by date" hotkeys. If you press "Enter" after entering the date, the appointments occurring on the day are shown. If there is no appointment on that day, the unit announces, "There is no schedule registered". If appointments are present, the first appointment on that day is announced in the form of "date, time, and subject". If the appointment lasts for more than one day, "continuous schedule" is announced. If the appointment recurs, "recurring schedule" is announced. If you scheduled more than one appointment for that day, you can move among the appointments on that day by pressing “up arrow button” or “down arrow button”. To move to the first appointment on a day, you can press "Fn-Left arrow key", and to move to the last appointment on the day, and if you want to move to the last appointment on the day, press “Fn-Right arrow key”. To move to the appointments on another day, press “Ctrl-Left arrow key” or “Ctrl-Right arrow key”. The previous/next appointment occurring within four months is displayed. To move to the first appointment stored in the Schedule Manager, press "Ctrl-Fn-Left arrow key", and to move to the last appointment stored in the Schedule Manager, press "Ctrl-Fn-Right arrow key". To obtain details 7.5.2 Searching by subject When the Search Schedule" dialog is opened in this mode, the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY says, "Search subject:" Type in the keywords to search and press "Enter". All schedules with the keywords are displayed. If you press "Enter" without typing text in the "Search subject:" edit box, the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY displays all appointments in your Braille Sense U2 QWERTY. To move to the next or previous schedule, press “down arrow button” or “up arrow button” respectively. Pressing "Fn-Left arrow key" moves to the first item in the appointment list, and pressing “Fn-Right arrow key” moves to the last item in the appointment list. For recurring appointments and multiple day appointments, the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY only shows the schedules of the first day if you search the

167 schedule by subject. For example, if you have an appointment on January 1, 2007 and it recurs the first day of every month, the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY shows this schedule on January 1, 2007 only when you search by subject. Press "Enter" on an appointment to read the details. Press "Esc" to return to the appointment list. TO SEARCH other keywords, press “Tab” to move to the "Search subject" edit box. 7.6 Modify Schedule You can modify an appointment that you have previously scheduled. Move to the appointment you want to modify. Open the menu by pressing “Alt” and press "Enter" on "Modify Schedule", or press the shortcut key "m" from the menu. Or you can press its hot key, "Ctrl-m" from the search results list. If the appointment is a recurring schedule, a prompt, displaying "Recurrence appointment. Open type?" appears. Choose whether you want to modify the recurring schedule or the schedule for a specific day. If you select "This occurrence", your changes affect the appointment of the day, but the recurring appointments on other days are not changed. If you select "The series", your changes affect all the recurrences. If you select "Cancel", "Modify Schedule" dialog is not opened and you are returned to your last position. Make your selection by pressing "Space" or "Backspace". Press "Enter" to open the "Modify Schedule" dialog. This dialog contains the same controls as in the "Add Schedule" dialog. The only difference is that each field has the value entered previously. If you have made changes you wish to save, tab to "Confirm" and press "Enter". 7.7 Deleting a Schedule To delete a schedule, move to the schedule in the search results list. Press “Alt” to open the menu, and press "Enter" on "Delete Schedule". Or you can press its hot key, "Del" from the search results list. If the selected schedule is a recurring schedule, you are prompted, "Recurring appointment. Delete

168 type?" is displayed. You can choose whether you want to delete the recurring schedule, or just the appointment for that day. If you select "This occurrence", only the current appointment is deleted. If you select "The series", all recurrences of the appointment are deleted. You cannot select and delete multiple schedules at once. You can delete only the currently focused appointment. 7.8 Printing a Schedule After finding an appointment using the "Search Schedule" dialog, you can print an appointment using the "Print Schedule" command. Open the menu by pressing “Alt”, and press "p", or select "Print Schedule" and press "Enter". Or, from the search results list, press "Ctrl-p". The Braille Sense U2 QWERTY asks you to specify the beginning date of the appointments to be printed. By default, the current date is displayed. If you wish, you can specify another date using the entry and navigation procedures described in 7.3. Press “Tab” to set the end date of the appointments to be printed. Again, you can enter or select a different date than what is displayed. Press "Enter" or “Tab”, and you are asked to select the type of printer to use. "Printer" is the default setting. Press “up arrow button” or “down arrow button” to move between "Embosser" and "Printer". If you have selected the appropriate printer type press "Enter" to start printing. Please make sure the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY is connected to the printer and that the printer is ready to receive information. When printing is complete, the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY returns to the search results list. 7.9 Saving Appointments as a File You can save appointments stored in "Schedule Manager" as a document. Open the menu by pressing “Alt”, then select "Save Schedule As File", and press "Enter". Or press "t" from the menu. Or, from the search results list, press "Alt-s". The Braille Sense U2 QWERTY asks you to specify the beginning and end dates of the appointments to be saved just as with "Print

169 Schedule". After setting the beginning and end dates, press "Enter" or “Tab”, and you are prompted to enter the name and the format of the file to be saved. This dialog is the same as the "Save As" dialog in the "Word processor". 7.10 Backing Up and Restoring Your Appointments 7.10.1 Backup Schedule If you perform a hard reset, or your battery dies, all of the data in the Schedule Manager is lost. Thus, it is very important to create a backup file each time you change your schedule. To backup your schedule, open the menu by pressing “Alt”. Then, use the up and down arrows (“up arrow button” or “down arrow button”), to locate "Backup Schedule". Then, press "Enter". You can also press "u" from the menu. Or, you can press "Ctrl-u" to activate this function directly. If you already have a backup file, you are prompted, "Backup file already exists. Backup anyway? Yes". If you have made changes to your schedule, press "Enter" to create a new backup file. To keep the previous backup file, press “down arrow button”, locate "No", and press "Enter" on it. If you make a backup file again in the Schedule Manager, a new backup file is created with the extension DAT, and another file is created with the extension BAK containing your previous backup file. 7.10.2 Restore Schedule To restore your schedule after a hard reset, press “Alt” to open the menu, and use the up and down scroll buttons to locate "Restore Schedule". Then, press "Enter". Or, you can press "r". You can also press "Ctrl-r" to activate this function directly. If you activate the "Restore Schedule" function, and you already have an existing schedule, you are prompted, "Schedule file already exists. Which do you prefer? Append" or, press “down arrow button” to move to "Overwrite".

170 You can choose to add to or overwrite the current schedule with the backup file. If you choose to append, and the backup file contains appointments that also exist in your current file, you will have redundant appointments. If you choose to overwrite and your current schedule contains appointments the backup file does not, these appointments are lost. If you don't want to "Append" or "Overwrite", press “down arrow button” once more, locate "Cancel", and press "Enter" on it. 7.10.3 Setting Backup Option 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 “Alt” to open the menu. Next press “down arrow button” or “up arrow button” repeatedly to locate "Set Backup Options". Then, press "Enter". Or, from the menu, you can press "e" to jump directly to "Set Backup Options". You can also activate the "Set Backup Options" function directly by pressing "Ctrl-e". The "backup Options" dialog has three controls, "Backup mode" radio button, a "Confirm" button, and a "Cancel" button. You can move among the controls by pressing “Tab” or "shift-tab". To move between the radio buttons, you can press “up arrow button”, "Backspace", “down arrow button”, 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 is created automatically if you have modified or added to your schedule. 2. If you select the "Manual backup", a new backup file is not created, even if there are changes to your schedule. If you select this option, you can only create a new backup file by using the "Backup Schedule" function. 3. If you select "Prompt backup changes when exiting", you are prompted, "Backup changes? Yes" if you have modified or added to your schedule. If you press "Enter" on "Yes", a new backup file is created before exiting the

171 Schedule Manager. If you press “down arrow button” once, and press "Enter" on "No", you exit the Schedule Manager, without creating a backup file. You can change the backup mode by pressing "Enter" after focusing on one of the three radio buttons. Or, press "Tab”, and press "Enter" on "Confirm". The default backup mode is set to "Prompt backup changes when exiting". 7.11 Setting Alarm Option You can open the "Set Alarm Options" dialog by pressing “Ctrl-o”, or by pressing "Enter" on "Set Alarm Options" in the menu by pressing “Alt” in the "Schedule Manager". This dialog 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 “up arrow button” or “down arrow button”. You can access the "Confirm" and "Cancel" buttons by pressing “Tab” or "shift-tab". 7.11.1 Alarm Duration With this option, you can change the duration of the alarm sound.

218 9. Media Player The Media Player on the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY is a program you can use to play audio files as well as listen to the audio for some video file formats. The Media Player plays the following formats, ac3, asf, asx, m3u, mp2, mp3, MP 4, mpa, mpg, ogg, pls, wav, wax, wma, flac, midi and wmv. Note: you cannot see the video for "avi" and "wmv" files, however, you may listen to the audio contained in these formats. You can control the playing of audio files using either Braille keyboard commands or the media buttons on the front panel of the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY. The Media Player can play back audio recordings and books as well as music files. 9.1 Using the media buttons Near the center of the front panel on the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY is a group of 5 buttons with varying shapes. These buttons can be used to control the Media Player. Moving from left to right, the buttons are: "Back", "Record", "Stop", "Play/Pause", and "Forward". These buttons are used for playing and recording music or voice quickly and easily. The media buttons can control media playback, DAISY content playback, or FM radio operation, depending on the position of the Media Mode switch, located to the left of the media buttons. Slide this switch to the right-most position, "Media Mode", to control media playback. If the "Play/Pause" button is pressed while you are using another program on the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY, the unit opens the Media Player and begins playing the files in the most recently played list. If there are no files in the playlist, the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY says, "There are no items to display". "Back", "Stop", and "Forward" are available after audio playback is started.
