5 SuperVario2 System Menu
As soon as SuperVario2 is switched on the first line of the basic System Menu appears on
the Braille cells. This menu contains information relating to the Braille display. This
information includes device name, serial number, battery status etc. If necessary, the
settings can be changed on the advanced System Menu. The settings you can change
include interfaces, protocols, sounds and auto power off timer.
The system menu allows fort he same options on all models. However, for the short Braille
displays we abbreviated some words in the system menu in order to fit to the shorter
Braille display. In the examples given below we refer to SuperVario2 40.
The basic system menu shows information about the Braille display like the name of the
device, communication port, serial number and battery status. If you want to change
settings, first enter the advanced system menu. Now you can change settings like
communication port, communication protocol, sounds, auto power off settings.
Usually you will pay no attention to the System Menu, as it disappears as soon as data are
transferred from your PC or mobile device to the Braille display. The easiest way to use the
system menu is to disconnect the Braille display from PC and switch it on then. This
ensures that no data transmission from PC disturbs you.
The basic System Menu consists of six lines giving the name of the device, status, its serial
number, battery status and Bluetooth name.
It will often prove necessary to install special settings or values, which must be done on the
advanced System Menu which can be accessed directly with its own key combination.
The lines in the System Menu can be accessed upwards with D1 (top left), and downwards
with D3 (bottom left). Whenever the System Menu is called up the first line will be
displayed. Items can be selected in the advanced System Menu by pressing one of the
cursor routing keys above the display. The active or selected item is indicated with Braille
dots 7 and 8.
The lines of the System Menu will be described below.
Exit the Menu by moving to the last Menu "Menu off" and press one of the cursor routing
keys behind "off". This will save all changes.
The Menu will also exit as soon as data is received from the PC.
All settings are automatically saved when quitting the System Menu and remain active
until next amended.
After you left the system menu, you may want to re-enter it. This can be accomplished by
turning the device off and on again or even simpler by double clicking the power button.
