Powering the device
This section explains how to charge and how to turn on & off the device. Refer to
subsequent section for additional support. BrailleMe has two modes: a Stand-Alone
mode and a Remote mode. In the Stand-Alone mode, the device is a book reader that
uses an SD card as the reading media. In the Remote mode, the device works like other
braille displays and needs to be connected to a computer/smartphone/tablet and a
screen reader. This section explains how to charge, turn the device on and off, insert
the SD card, and enter and exit the menus. Refer to the following sections for additional
support.
3.1.
Powering On/Off
To turn on the device just press the power button for 1 sec and instantly the device will
boot and you would hear an audio notification – a short beep. Along with this beep,
the braille display will get activated, and all dots will toggle up and down. Post this
toggling the braille display will show “menu.” As soon as “menu” is displayed, you can
start your work. This entire process should take less than four secs.
There are two ways of shutting down the device. One way is to long press the power
button for three secs and the second is by using the shutdown menu item in the menu.
While using the power button to turn off a double beep is given and in the case of
shutdown menu item a long beep is given. After the beeps all the dots will move down.
3.2.
Charging
When you receive Braille Me, it may already have some charge; however, we
recommend charging it fully before or during first use. You can use the device and
charge it at the same time, so this does not hinder your reading time.
When the battery in the Braille Me gets to 15% and 7%, you will receive a notification
indicating that battery is low. At 2% charge, the battery shuts down without notification.
During shutting down Braille Me give a long beep, and all the braille dots will move
down.
