2.2. Power Up Cosmo
The USB connection and Power connection are to the rear of Cosmo. The Power unit is a
standard 12 Volt Universal power connector. Just plug the power adapter into the wall
outlet and connect the barrel connector into the receptacle at the rear of Cosmo. The on /
off switch is on the left side of Cosmo about three inches from the front edge. You will
hear Cosmo cycle up and then a series of audible beeps when Cosmo is turned on. Cosmo
is ready to work. If you have the optional Battery pack and charger for the Battery these
options work separately from the Universal power supply that comes with Cosmo. The
Battery simply plugs in to the rear of Cosmo using the same size of barrel connector as the
power adapter uses and the battery is inserted in the same connection port where the
power adapter would normally be connected. The battery is charged with a smart charging
unit.
2.3. The Sounds of Cosmo
When you first turn on Cosmo you hear the emboss head zero. This is the emboss head
finding the start position for the logic circuits. If the emboss head is in the correct position
you will hear two beeps. If the emboss head is not aligned at start up there will be four
beeps.
When you reach the last line on a page where Braille can be embossed there will be two
beeping sounds.
If there is no paper in Cosmo and you try to Braille in from the keyboard in stand-alone
mode each key depressed will make an audible beep.
If you try to load paper and the paper is not completely against the paper feed rollers you
will hear four beeps .Any time you hear four beeps there is an error.
