5.1.4 Options (O)
The options described below are used for customizing your Connect Braille's features. The
various options are specified by using check boxes or radio buttons contained in the
submenus. You can review additional information regarding check boxes and radio buttons
in chapter 3.3.4 and 3.3.5. Entries, which lead to a sub menu are marked with an angle
bracket at the end.
The Options menu is closed as usual by pressing [TLC]. Closing the menu will
automatically save the new settings, so that they will still be in force even when the device
is turned off and then on again. The saving process is usually completed in less than one
second.
5.1.4.1 6 dots braille (6)
This option allows you to toggle between 8 dot Braille (computer Braille) and 6 dot Braille.
The 6 dot representation suppresses dots 7 and 8. Even if you enter text in 8 dot Braille,
e.g., for capitalization, your entries will be saved correctly.

If this option is enabled, menu items can be activated in the relevant menu level via
hotkeys. This means:
•
sub menus will be opened immediately
•
check boxes change their state
•
radio buttons will be activated
