1 Physical Description
The NLS eReader has a 20-cell braille display; an eight-key, Perkins-style keyboard; three Space
keys; six display keys; four system keys; and five navigation keys.
1.1 Top
The top surface of the device includes the braille display and the braille keyboard. Orient the
device with the braille cells closest to you. Behind each cell, you will find a small round Cursor
Routing button. You can use the routing buttons to move the braille cursor when reading and
entering text and to activate items in a menu.
At each end of the braille display is three display keys. You can think of these as being arranged
like a braille cell with keys d1, d2, and d3 downward on the left and d4, d5, and d6 downward on
the right. Combinations of these keys are an alternate way of entering keyboard commands.
Behind the cells is the braille keyboard. The braille keyboard has the traditional six braille input
keys, a Backspace key (Dot 7) at the left end, an Enter key (Dot 8) at the right end, and a Space
key. These keys are referred to as B1 through B8, and BS, respectively.
