from these services, you must register your Braille Sense U2 QWERTY with
the National library Service.
Note: the following instructions assume you already have an account with

library or visit:

To register your Braille Sense U2 QWERTY with NLS BARD, follow these
steps:
1) Log in to your account on the BARD main page.
2) Choose the "Update Account Settings" link.
3) Choose the "Add a purchased player" link.
3) Fill out the form as requested; choose "Sense Notetaker" as the player
type.
4) You will receive an email confirming your request to add a purchased
player.
6) If there are no problems with your eligibility, within a couple of days, you
will receive another email confirming your eligibility to add the Sense
Notetaker to your account. This message also informs you that an email has
been sent to HIMS to confirm your eligibility.
7) When HIMS receives the email confirmation of your eligibility, we will send
an email requesting your key number and notetaker model, including
instructions for obtaining your key number.
8) When we receive your key number and notetaker model, we will send the
key file via email. (The key file is a small file with a .kxo extension.)
9) Save the attachment, and copy it to the root of your notetaker's flashdisk.
(Please be sure to copy the .kxo file to the root of the flashdisk. It must not
be contained in a folder, but must reside at the top level of the flashdisk
directory.)
10) Play an NLS book. The key file installs itself on a special protected area
of the flashdisk.
