4. File Manager
4.1 Overview
The functionality and structure of the "File Manager" on the Braille Sense U2
QWERTY are very similar to "Windows Explorer" on a personal computer.
To run the "File Manager", press "f" from the "program" menu or press
"Enter" when your cursor is placed on "File Manager".
The "File Manager" contains 2 basic areas: an "address window" and a "file
list". When you first open the "File Manager", you are placed in the drive list.
By default, you are placed on the internal flash drive, named "flashdisk". You
can use the up and down arrows (“up arrow button” or “down arrow button”)
or the scroll buttons to navigate the items in the drive list. Press "Enter" on
the drive you want to open. The Braille Sense U2 QWERTY then displays
the list of the files/folders on the drive you have opened.
When you press “Tab” or "shift-tab" on the "file list," you enter the "address
window". The "address window" contains the path of the current directory or
file.
For your convenience, the "File Manager" contains both menus and hot keys,
allowing you to easily activate items in the program with a single keystroke
as well as access and select a function through the menus even if you have
not memorized the associated keystroke. YOU can bring up the menus by
pressing “Alt”.
WARNING!! The Braille Sense U2 QWERTY makes it possible to format the
flashdisk to solve corruption problems and/or start over with a clean internal
drive. Formatting the flashdisk erases everything on the flashdisk. Be
extremely cautious when executing this command. If you execute this
command, you will lose all of your data. You will NOT be able to retrieve this
data once the command is executed. To format the flashdisk, press and hold
"Ctrl-Fn-Left arrow key". While holding down "Ctrl-Fn-Left arrow key," quickly
press and release the reset button. Continue holding "Ctrl-Fn-Left arrow key"
until you hear the "format start" announcement.
