If you are currently using the Focus display over USB and you want to switch

2.
Press
ALT+O
to open the Options menu and select Braille to open the
Braille Basic Settings dialog box.
3.
In the Default Braille Display combo box, make sure Focus is selected
then choose Modify Settings.
4.
In the Select the output port edit combo box, choose Bluetooth.
5.
Select OK and you are instructed to restart JAWS in order for these
changes to take effect. Select OK to close this message and once
more to close the Braille Basic Settings dialog box.
6.
Quit and restart JAWS and your Focus Blue is now communicating
with JAWS over Bluetooth.
Once JAWS is configured to communicate with the Focus Blue over Bluetooth,
you can switch back and forth between USB and Bluetooth and JAWS will
automatically detect the connection without the need to change any settings.
For example, if you connect the USB cable and restart JAWS, the display will
work with JAWS over USB. If you disconnect the USB cable, then power on the
Focus Blue and restart JAWS, the display will work with JAWS over Bluetooth.
To check the battery status, press the
Menu
button to display the status
message which includes the percentage of battery power remaining. The letters
“BT” are also shown in the cells near the right end of the display to indicate the
Bluetooth connection is active. Press the
Left Selector
button to return to
normal operation.
