For example, if you are in the Notepad, and press "Space-m (dots 1-3-4)"
or "F2," then press "Enter" on "File," you see "New (n) pull down Ctrl-n".
The word "New" is the menu option. YOU would press the letter "n (dots 1-
3-4-5)" to jump to "New" from within the "File" menu. Press "Ctrl-n" to
access
the "New" document command from anywhere in Notepad. The “n”
is the shortcut key and "Ctrl-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.
Note:
if you are in a sub menu or dialog box, and the Braille EDGE 40is
powered off, when the unit is powered back on, the sub menu or dialog is
closed and you are returned to the location at which you entered the menus.
2.5 Charging and using battery
Though the Braille EDGE 40 alerts you when the battery is low, it is
important to keep track of the battery status so as not to lose unsaved data
or unexpectedly disconnect a Bluetooth Braille display connection.
To check the battery power status, press "Space-P (dots 1-2-3-4)". The unit
displays the following 2 items:
1. Battery power level
2. Power source (battery, AC power or USB power)
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, the AC power or USB power supply.
To close the battery power status dialog, press F1 button (Esc).
When the battery level falls below 15%, the Braille EDGE displays the
message, “battery low” and suggests you connect the AC adapter. When
the battery level falls below 5%, the Braille EDGE displays a warning that
the unit will automatically hard reset in 3 minutes time if the AC adapter is
not connected.
