additional items to the Home screen, or you may remove existing applications. For a list of all the
applications on your device, see the All Applications folder on the Home screen.
To select an option on the Home screen, use the arrow keys to move from item to item. As you move,
the Home screen announces and shows on the braille display the item that is highlighted. To start using
that application, press the Select key or Space+dots 4-6.
To close an app and return to the Home screen, press the Back key or press Space+Z. You may also
press the Home key or Space+H to leave the app running so you may continue to use it later.
Some of the options on the Home screen are applications, and some are folders that contain several
applications, documents, or other files. If the item is a folder, Home indicates it with the label, "folder"
following its name.
To close a folder, press Back.
Menus
Many apps, including Home, feature a menu of activities associated with the app. Press the Menu key to
open this menu. Note that if the app does not have a menu, pressing Menu does nothing.
Press Menu while in the Home screen to list activities that relate to the Home screen and to the system.
The Home menu includes Settings, Notifications, and Search.
Note that most top level menus are horizontally oriented, so use the Left Arrow and Right Arrow to find
the appropriate menu option. Most secondary menus are vertically oriented, so use the Up Arrow and
Down Arrow to select the appropriate option.
Speech, Braille, and Status: S2
The S2 key serves as the gateway to controlling other braille and speech settings and obtaining system
information. It works in two ways--press or hold. Pressing the S2 key makes the currently running app
speak as much as it can. If in the Word Processor, pressing the S2 key makes it start reading the current
document. If on a Web page, it reads the Web page from the current position to the end of the page. If
on a status item, it repeats the item. Once it starts reading, stop it by pressing the S2 key again or any
key that does not affect the current document. The Shift or Alt keys are usually good choices for this.
To open the Braille and Speech Preferences, hold the S2 key. The Braille and Speech Settings screen
appears. It contains several items as follows:
The Time option shows the current date and time. To set the time, press Select.
The Battery option shows the state of the battery. It shows the percentage of battery life left and
indicates whether or not the device is charging.
The Sleep Timer sets the amount of time the device continues to read before sleeping.
Speech Rate sets how fast speech talks.
