1.1 What’s in the Box?
VarioUltra is shipped inside 2 cardboard boxes to help protect it during
transit. We recommend you keep these in case VarioUltra ever needs to
be sent to us for service.
The contents of the box include:
1) A braille Quick Reference Guide
2) A braille Product Registration Card. Customers in the USA can also
register online at http://www.baumusa.com/support/product-
registration/
3) A VarioUltra braille display; it can be found inside additional protective
packaging.
4) A carrying case and strap. They’re contained inside a plastic bag. The
strap connects to the strap anchor clips that are already added to
VarioUltra
5) A USB to micro USB cable, and a square USB plug. The USB plug
has the US-style prongs folded into the square. Unfold them to plug
into a power outlet.
6) A small box with a variety of international plug adaptors. Unless
you’re using VarioUltra outside of the USA, there should be no need
to worry about these adaptors.
Although the VarioUltra battery is charged during the production
process, the battery may not be at 100% charge by the time it reaches
you. You can charge it at any time by connecting the micro USB end of
the cable into the micro USB port on the left side of VarioUltra, and plug
the other end—the USB plug—into an electrical outlet. When VarioUltra
is connected to a power source, braille cells will fill to indicate how fully
charged the battery is. For example, if your device is 50% charged, you
can expect to find all the dots raised on cells on the left half of the
display. When fully charged, all dots on all cells will be showing.
We recommend using the carrying case when traveling with VarioUltra.
While the device is very durable, it is still an electronic device. Take care
to avoid dropping VarioUltra, or exposing it to liquid, as damage is not
covered under warranty.
