3.2.30 Hot Key Information
As described previously, hot keys are keystrokes used to immediately
access or activate an item, such as a menu, or a particular item in a list. Use
this option to define how hot key information is announced. The short cut key
is "h" and default is set to “On”. The setting values are “On,” and “Off.” You
can cycle through each of the options by pressing the “Space”.
If you select "On", the "Open" option in the File Menu of the Word Processor
is announced, "Open (o) Ctrl-o".
And if you select “Off,” you can’t hear the
hot key information.
3.2.31 Announce shortcut keys
The "Announce shortcut keys" option lets you choose whether the Braille
Sense U2 QWERTY speaks the shortcut key for a function. The shortcut key
for this option is "s" and the default is set to "On". For example, if you press
"F2" to bring up the program menu in the Word Processor, you may hear,
"File (f) pull down". In this case, the shortcut key for accessing the Word
Processor's "File" menu is the letter "f". If you do not wish to hear the
shortcut keys announced, toggle "Announce shortcut keys" off by pressing
"Space".
3.2.32 Power Saving Mode
Use this option to set the Braille Sense U2 QWERTY to save power by
automatically shutting down after a certain period of time. The shortcut key is
"p". The default setting is set to "On". Use "Space" to cycle through the
available values: "On", "Off", and "Message". If you never want your Braille
Sense U2 QWERTY to shut down automatically, set the option to "Off". If
you set the option to "Message," The Braille Sense U2 QWERTY gives you a
warning message that says "power on" to remind you the unit is still powered
