Once the display is connected to the device you wish to use, configure the
software to use Orbit Reader.
Connecting Windows with Bluetooth
When connecting the Orbit Reader with Bluetooth, follow these steps:
1.
On the PC, perform a Bluetooth search.
2.
Select the Orbit Reader from the list of Bluetooth devices.
3.
Compare the code shown in the Bluetooth dialog on the Windows PC
with the code shown on your display. If they are the same, press Yes.
If the code does not match, select No and try the next Orbit Reader in
the list. The purpose of this procedure is to allow for more than one
Orbit Reader device to be paired in the same room at the same time
without pairing the wrong device.
The device pairs with the Orbit Reader and an incoming Bluetooth virtual
serial port is set up on the PC.
Next, check the Ports list in the Windows Device Manager to find the COM
port number assigned to the incoming Bluetooth serial port. Make a note of
this number.
In your screen reader on the PC, set the active Braille display COM port to
use as the relevant Bluetooth serial port COM number.
NonVisual Desktop Access (NVDA) (Version 2016.3 or
later)
If you have NVDA installed on your PC, it may automatically recognize the
Orbit Reader, depending on the settings. If NVDA is not recognizing the
display, go to the NVDA Preferences menu and select Braille Settings from
the list. From the braille display drop-down menu, select
"Baum/Humanware/APH/Orbit Displays" and click OK.
If Orbit Reader 20 is not one of the displays shown in the Braille Display list,
upgrade NVDA to the newest version and repeat the process.
NVDA turns on braille output when it is configured for the display. To turn off
braille support, select No Braille from the Braille Display options in the Braille
Settings menu.
