If multiple braille keys are required, the documentation indicates those keys
by showing the numbers separated by a space like this: dots 1 4.
When modifier keys are used, the documentation separates the modifiers
from the rest of the keys with a plus (+) sign like this: Space + dot 1. Recall
that modifiers, like the Shift key on a regular QWERTY keyboard, are keys
you hold down while pressing another key. This modifies the effect of the
pressed key. On a braille keyboard, Space is often used as a modifier to alter
the effect of the input keys.
Key mnemonics are written in capital letters for emphasis, but are typed in
braille lowercase (unless otherwise stated). When one key follows another,
the two keys are shown with a comma between them. For example, the
command Select, M means to press and release the Select key, then press
and release M (dots 1 3 4 simultaneously).
The Up, Down, Right, and Left directional buttons on the navigation pad are
interchangeably referred to as arrows, buttons, arrow buttons, and arrow
keys.
The words Keys and Buttons are used interchangeably.
In the descriptions of each menu option, this documentation indicates the
default setting.
Orientation
Orientation to the positioning of buttons, keys, cells, and slots is important
for understanding how the device operates and how you input and receive
information on the device.
To begin exploration of the Orbit Reader, place the device on a flat surface in
front of you with the row of braille cells closest to you. This is the proper
operational orientation.
