For added security, passwords are presented in hidden mode by default.
In this mode, all characters are shown as asterisks (*). This mode does
not allow you to confirm that the password has been entered correctly. If
you would prefer that passwords are shown on the braille display as you
enter them, go to Settings > Presentation > Password Options to
deactivate the default hidden mode for the password presentation.
Passwords will then be shown on the braille display until such time that
you return to Password Options and select the hidden mode again.
10.4.5 Display Settings > Messages.
VarioUltra presents messages at different times to provide hints or
warnings. Hint messages will contain the letter “h” on the first module;
warning messages contain the letter “w”.
Please note the following:
1. Warning messages must be confirmed by pressing any routing
key, other than the one for cell number one. An example might be
that battery power is low.
2. Hint messages disappear automatically after 5 seconds by default.
An example might be that Bluetooth is being activated.
3. If you need more time to read hints, you can freeze the message
by pressing the first routing key. Thereafter, a frozen hint message
will only clear after you confirm by pressing any cursor routing key,
except for the first one.
4. If you do not want to wait the 5 seconds for a hint to disappear,
press any cursor routing key except the first one.
If you go to Settings > Display Settings > Messages you will find controls
to enable and disable hint messages, deactivate the automatic
disappearance after 5 seconds, or to change the amount of the time until
the message disappears.
10.5 Settings > Keyboard.
The Settings > Keyboard menu is where you can change the way certain
keys function inside VarioUltra’s word processor and edit boxes. It’s also
where you can adjust settings relating to the Auto Scroll feature and the
Key Mapping feature.
