2. Basic Functions of the Braille Sense U2
QWERTY
2.1 How to Enter Commands
The commands used to operate the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY are
comprised of various combinations of the Braille and function keys. In this
user manual, the “-“(dash) is used to indicate that keys should be pressed
simultaneously. For example, "Alt-F4" indicates that the user should press
"Alt" and "F4" at the same time. This manual also contains expressions like
"Ctrl-c". This means that the Ctrl button with letter ‘c’ should be pressed
and released simultaneously.
If you are in a menu or dialog, and your cursor is placed on the command
you want to execute, you can execute most commands by pressing "Enter".
If you want to cancel the execution of a command, and return to your
previous location, press "Alt-F4." "Alt-F4" is a very important command to
remember, as it allows you to abort programs and menus if you have
pressed keys accidentally.
2.1.1 Basic Alerts and Messages
There are instances where the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY alerts you to
events for which you have asked it to notify you. For example, by default,
the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY checks the Schedule Manager when you
power on, and notifies you of any appointments scheduled for that day.
When you are notified of an appointment, you can interact with the
Schedule Manager as you normally would. To exit the Schedule Manager,
press "Alt-F4" or "Esc," and you are returned to your previous location.
If you do not want to be alerted of "today's schedule" when you turn on the
Braille Sense U2 QWERTY, you can turn off the "Check today's schedule"
option in the "Global Options" dialog. (See chapter 3)
When you turn on the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY, you are returned to the
same location at which you turned the unit off. The Braille Sense U2
