Your EasyLink12 at a glance
Exploring the EasyLink12
Illustration 1: The EasyLink12, with all features labelled.
Your EasyLink12 has a 6-dot Braille keyboard, with the keys from left to right:
dot
3, dot 2, dot 1, dot 4, dot 5, dot 6
. Below the Braille keys there are
three function keys, from left to right:
Shift
,
Space
and
Control
. In the centre of
the keyboard area, between the Braille keys and the function keys there is a joystick
with 5 directions of movement: left, right, up, down (towards you) and enter, which is
activated by pressing the joystick towards the keyboard until it clicks.
Below the keyboard area is the Braille area. In the centre of the Braille area you will
find the 12-cell refreshable Braille display, with one round Braille navigation key either
side of the display. These keys are known as
left pan
and
right pan
, or
left
nav
and
right nav
.
On the rear edge, the connector for the battery charger is situated at the right-hand
side; on each side towards the front are two loops for attaching the lanyard.
To use the EasyLink12 pouch, open the pouch and locate the velcro patches inside.
This is the base of the pouch; place your EasyLink12 on these, keys uppermost, so
that the velcro dots on the base of the EasyLink12 attach to the velcro patches on the
pouch. Close the pouch snugly with the velcro strip.
Switching EasyLink12 on and off
