Connect Braille
Start-Up
Page 14
1. Start-up sound: This is a low tone which sounds during start-up. If the start-up
sound is preceded by a very short, high tone, followed by a pause, then the
Connect Braille is in work mode.
2. Warning signal: This consists of two rapid, consecutive tones and may sound, for
example, when you have reached the bottom of the menu and try to go down.
3. Error signal: This is a series of warning signals, which may be emitted, for example,
if no microSD card is inserted.
Note: You can specify which types of acoustic signals you want the Connect Braille to emit
(see chapter 5.1.4 and 5.1.4.4). In this manual, the assumption is that this setting is set to
'action Confirmations'
. This is also the factory default.
3.3.3 System Messages
The Connect Braille will display messages to indicate the successful completion of an
operation or to alert you to possible operating errors. If the message is an error message
or if it is an important message, a beep will also sound. We recommend carefully reviewing
these messages before continuing with your work. They frequently contain instructions on
how to proceed.
Most error messages will be in your local language however, there are some system
messages that are only provided in English. In regard to these messages, all messages
beginning with
'fatal'
,
'fer:'
,
'error'
or
'wrn:'
should be attended to.
After you have read the message, you can exit by pressing [TLC], which in most cases will
return you to the place from which the message was initiated. If the message text does not
fit on the Braille display, you can scroll through it by means of the [TD] and [TU] keys.
In chapter 12 you will find a list of the most important messages with explanations.
3.3.4 Check Boxes
Check boxes are switches that can be in either an "on" or "off" state. A check box consists
of a symbol indicating its state, and a designation. The symbol "[X]" indicates that the
check box is "on", or active, whereas "[ ]" is an inactive, or "off" check box.
Toggling the state of the check box between on and off is accomplished by pressing [SPC]
or [TRC]: the state is toggled upon each keystroke. Alternatively, you can also press the
cursor routing key above the check box to toggle it. As soon as you move on to a new
menu item, the last state indicated by the check box remains in force. However, the
settings are not permanently saved until the
'Options'
menu is closed.
Check boxes are used for controlling your Connect Braille's functions and are found in the
Options menu. For example, you can choose either 6 dot or 8 dot Braille this way.
Note:
If the Connect Braille is turned off without having closed the Options menu, the last
changes to be entered will be lost. The new settings are saved only upon exiting the
Options menu!
