For more information on a specific program, please see the section of this user
manual related to that program. For information on using Android apps, see
chapter 12.
The "F1" command for accessing the "Program" menu is an example of a global
hotkey. This means that pressing the "F1" key takes you to the "Program" menu
immediately from anywhere on the Polaris MINI.
There are also global quick launch commands for most Polaris MINI programs,
usually comprised of either F1 or F3 and a letter or dot combination. These quick
launch commands immediately launch their associated application from
anywhere on the Polaris MINI. See section 15.2 for a complete list of the quick
launch commands.
2.2.1 Control Symbols
The BrailleSense Polaris MINI uses several control symbols to note the type of
information being displayed: examples are list items, menus, and edit boxes.
These symbols can appear "Before" or "After" the text, or the appearance of this
information may be set to "off", determined by the "Control information" setting in
the "Global Options". For example, if "Control information" is set to "before", and
you bring up the Word Processor's program menu, The BrailleSense displays,
"MN File (f) pull down".
Note: In the Web Browser, the control symbols are displayed even if the
"Control information" is set to "off".
