In addition, Smart Beetle can maintain both a Bluetooth keyboard connection as well
as a Braille display connection to a screen reader on the same device, and instantly
switch input modes.
- Note: regarding connection to iOS devices: Due to the nature of the operating
system, if an iOS device is connected to an additional Bluetooth device such as a
Bluetooth QWERTY keyboard or speaker, it may disable Smart Beetle's capability of
entering pairing mode. To prevent this problem, it is best to connect to your iOS
device after you have connected to other devices. In some cases, it may be
necessary to disconnect the i-device and re-establish the connection.
Once connected to a device, you can connect to additional devices simply by
pressing "Power-F1" to enter pairing mode again. The process for establishing
additional connections is exactly the same as it is for establishing the first. You may
not establish more than 5 Bluetooth connections at once. The 5 simultaneous
connections can be any combination of Bluetooth serial (BRL) and Bluetooth
keyboard (KBD) connections.
6.1 Switching connections
You can switch among connections either by using the pairing list, or by cycling
through connections according to their type.
To switch to a connection using the pairing list, press "Power-F 4" to open the pairing
list. The list is presented by category, BRL connections, and then KBD connections.
Use "Space-1" and "Space-4" to navigate to your desired connection, and press
"Enter".
You can also press "Power-right Scroll" to immediately cycle and switch through the
BRL connections and "Power-Left Scroll" to cycle through the KBD connections. You
may also do this by entering the menu with a short press of the "Power" key, and
choose "Bluetooth Serial" or "Bluetooth KBD".
6.2 Using Combo Mode
As previously mentioned, you can connect Smart Beetle to a single device using
both the Bluetooth serial (BRL" and the Bluetooth Keyboard (KBD" connections and
instantly switch which input mode you are using. This allows you to enter traditional
QWERTY keyboard commands while continuing to receive Braille output via the
screen reader.
To connect using combo mode, simply press "Power-F1" to enter pairing mode and
choose "BRL". Establish the connection with your screen reader as described in
chapter 4. Once done, enter Pairing Mode once again using "Power-F1" and choose
"KBD". Establish the connection to your device as described in chapter 5. Note: it
does not matter in which order you establish the 2 connections.
When you have established both the Bluetooth Keyboard and Bluetooth Serial
connections, you may switch input modes using "Power-F3". "Power-F3" is a toggle
and will continue to toggle you between "BRL" and "KBD" input modes as long as
both connections remain active.
