Menu items description:
Battery indicator:
this displays the percentage of battery life remaining.
Sleep x minutes:
This item refers to the length of time BraillePen 12 Touch will stay active after the last
keypress. The default sleep time is 25 minutes; this can be changed in 5-minute increments
to a high of "never" or to a low of 1 minute. We don't recommend leaving the sleep timer at
high settings indefinitely, since this will diminish the life of your battery.
In the sleep time menu item, press Joystick Enter to see the display "time x mins". Press
Joystick Up to increase the time, and Joystick Down to decrease the time. When BraillePen
12 Touch displays the sleep time you want, press Joystick Enter to confirm. When you press
Joystick Enter to confirm, you are returned to the menu, and BraillePen 12 Touch displays
sleep x min, showing your new setting. The sleep time setting will be saved and become
active when you exit the Settings Menu.
Feedback beep
The user can decide whether or not the acoustic feedback is set to a beep or is turned off.
When it is off, no beeps or chirps will be heard; to change, press Joystick Enter, and then
Joystick Down to change, then Joystick Enter to confirm.
Cursor delay
The user can set the cursor routing delay ranging from 0 to 9. This delay changes the time
users needs to touch the cursor sensor to route the cursor.
Vibrate
When routing the cursor the unit will vibrate if the value is set to a minimum of 10 ms. The
vibration time can be changed by 10s up to 200 ms. If the value is set to off, no vibration will
be felt.
Cell Test
It will check whether all Braille dots function correctly. First dot 1 will be displayed, and then
dot 2, and then 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 in sequence. If all dots are in good health, the message
"cells ok" will appear on the display. This sequence takes around 20 seconds. To repeat this
test, press Joystick Up, and the display will clear; then press Joystick Enter and the display
will show "cell test" once more. From here you can either repeat the test by pressing Joystick
Enter, or move to the next menu item with Joystick Down. To exit immediately from the test,
press the Escape combination, Shift and Space.
Key test:
This test allows you to check all keys. Press each key separately to test the key;
combinations of keys will have no effect. Use this test to also test the joystick function. Use
the Escape combination, Shift and Space, to exit to the menu.
Bluetooth chip test:
This test will check whether the Bluetooth chip functions correctly. If the Bluetooth chip
functions correctly, the text "bt test ok" will be displayed. If there is any problem, the test will
display "bt test fail". If you receive this message, please contact your distributor for
assistance.
Firmware version:
This item displays the currently installed firmware version number, which only alters after
your BraillePen 12 Touch has been updated.
Cbrd run
This setting can be either off or on. When it is set to on, the user can work with the Clipboard
regardless of whether the BraillePen 12 Touch is connected or not to the external device (e.g.
iPhone, Android phone, or a computer)
Exit:
Press Joystick Enter to return to normal operation.
