Appendix C: Braille Display Information

Part A: Using a refreshable Braille display with the Ace

(See Part B of Appendix C for details on supported Braille displays and which

controls on each particular display corresponds to which control on the Ace).

To use a refreshable Braille display with the Ace, turn on the Ace device by

pressing the power button. Please wait until the device is fully booted and you

hear “Scan and Read,” and then connect the Braille display to the Ace using the

USB port located on the left side of the device. The Braille display should start

within 10-30 seconds.

Please note, if you want to use Grade 2 Braille, after the device has booted up

you will need to turn on the Grade 2 Braille display capability. To do this, press

the Home Button to get to the Main Menu. Use the Right Roller to Scroll down to

Settings and select this option by Pressing the Action Button. Next Select

General Settings by pressing the Action Button. Scroll down to Grade 2 Braille

and Select it with the Action Button. Scroll to “On” and Select it with the Action

Button. Connect the Braille display to the Ace using the USB port located on the

left side of the device. Wait for about 30 seconds for the Braille display to start.

Choose the Scan and Read menu option from the Main Menu. Take a picture by

pressing the Scan button. It will start reading aloud. When scanning a document

by pressing the Scan button on a Braille display, there is no voice output.

Use the right or left button on the Braille display to move back and forward line

by line. Cursor will move accordingly.

To use Braille without the voice output, press the Action button to pause and use

the buttons on your Braille display to navigate through the text (see Appendix C

for details on your specific display). The cursor will follow along as you read. The

Ace, however, will not read out load if you are reading through the text using the

panning buttons (sometimes called Back and Advance) on the Braille display.

Please note: If you are doing a quick check of the battery status and network

connection status by pressing the Center Daisy Button, and you are using a

Braille display, once you press the Center Daisy Button on the Ace, you can use

the Right Roller or equivalent controls on your Braille display to scroll to the

battery status and the Network Status. Once you have read the status, press the

Back Button (or equivalent) to return to the screen you were on.
