reading media. In the Remote mode, the device works like other braille displays
and needs to be connected to a computer and a screen reader.
This section explains how to charge, turn the device on and off, insert the SD
card, and enter and exit the menus.
10.1 Charging the Device
When you receive the Orbit Reader 20, it may already have a charge; however,
we recommend charging it fully before or during first use. You can use the device
and charge it at the same time, so this does not hinder your reading time.
When the battery in the Orbit Reader 20 gets to 10%, Dot 8 of the 20th cell on
the display blinks on and off. This behavior is normal, indicating that the battery is
low.
To charge the device, use the provided Standard-A to Micro-B USB cable and
the power plug. Insert the small end of the cable into the Orbit Reader 20's USB
port with the bumps facing down. It should slide in without resistance; do not
force it. Then insert the large end of the cable into a computer USB connector or
the AC adapter provided. Plug the adapter into an AC wall connector.
If the device is on when you connect the charger, the display shows "-- Charger
connected" When you unplug the charger, it shows "-- Charger unplugged" The
charger plug and unplug event indications are briefly displayed even when the
unit is off. For more information, see the
section under
If you have charged the device for 4 or more hours, and it does not power on,

10.2 Powering On and Off
A square Power (on/off) button is found in a recessed area on the back of the
device. See
To power the device on or off, press and hold the Power button until you feel the
all the cells flash up and down. This is how the Orbit Reader 20 lets you know it
is coming on or shutting down.
When you turn the device on, Orbit Reader 20 resumes from the last place of the
last file in use. If this is the first time you are using the device or if this is the first
time you are inserting a new SD card, Orbit Reader 20 shows the first file or
folder name on the SD card.
If the operating mode of the unit was Bluetooth when last powered off, then the
device turns back on in Bluetooth mode.
