Toggling Between the USB and Bluetooth
Connection
If you are using the Focus display over a USB connection and you need
to access a Bluetooth device you have previously paired with the Focus,
you can use the Power 123 feature to quickly toggle the active
connection between USB and Bluetooth. For example, if the Focus is
connected over USB to your primary computer running JAWS and you
receive a text message on your smartphone that you want to read and
respond to using the braille display, you can switch to Bluetooth to
access the smartphone and then back to USB to resume braille access to
your computer.
To switch the active connection to use Bluetooth, press the power button
to display the status information and then press
DOTS 1-2-3
from the
Perkins-style keyboard on the Focus display. If the Focus has been
paired and the device is on, the Focus will immediately begin displaying
information from the Bluetooth device. Press the power button and then
press
DOTS 1-2-3
again to switch back to the USB connection.
Note:
When initially pairing the Focus Blue with another Bluetooth
device, ensure the display is powered on and not connected to
USB. Once paired, you can connect the USB cable and then use
this feature to toggle the active connection.
Note:
Android and iOS devices must first be locked before the display is
switched from USB to Bluetooth connectivity. Once the display is
switched to Bluetooth, unlock your mobile device so that it will find
the display and begin using it as usual. Once the connection is
established, you can switch back and forth using the Power 123
command without having to first lock and unlock the device.
