If the Orbit Reader 20 is on, when you wake up or turn on the host device, it
connects automatically. When the host device enters sleep mode or is turned off,
Orbit Reader 20 reverts to showing stand-alone content or if connected to a
device through the USB port, reconnects to the screen reader on the other host
device.
It is currently not possible to wake up the host from the braille keyboard on the
Orbit Reader 20, like you can with a Bluetooth keyboard.
There are only two ways to wake up a host:
•
Pressing the Power button
•
Receiving notification
Before you can take advantage of Bluetooth, you must perform the one-time
procedure of pairing Orbit with the host device. With newer devices, Orbit Reader
20 makes pairing easy by employing a Bluetooth profile named "Just Works." If
you use an older host device that does not support this profile, you need to alter
this setting in Orbit Reader 20's menu.
If you set Emulation to RB18, it shows up in the remote device pair list as
Refreshabraille#### (where the # sign represents the last four digits of the serial
number of your Orbit Reader 20).
To pair Orbit Reader 20 to a host device, see the Bluetooth section for the device
type.

17.3 Manage Connections
When you use Bluetooth, it is possible to interrupt Orbit Reader 20 activities with
a connected host device. Each time you wake up the host device, it takes over
the Orbit Reader 20. This behavior makes it very convenient to interact with your
host in braille, but if you use Orbit Reader 20 in Stand-Alone mode or connect it
to a screen reader with USB, you may not want the interruption when your phone
wakes up. To return Orbit Reader 20 to what you were doing before the
interruption, put the host back to sleep by tapping the Power button.
To prevent interruptions from occurring altogether, turn off Bluetooth in the Orbit
Reader 20 menu or temporarily turn off notifications on the host device. When
