All settings will now be saved automatically.
Press one of the cursor routing/position keys above the word ”off” to execute this
command.
5.3 Self-test
The Self-test function can only be accessed from the advanced System Menu.
In the System Menu, press the first two and the last two cursor routing/position keys
on the Braille display together to launch Self-test. The dots of each Braille cell will be
activated one after the other and then cleared; the pressed keys will also be
displayed. As soon as data have been transferred from the PC to the Braille display
the Self-test will end and the display will return to normal.
Once Self-test has been launched, dot B1 then B2, B3, B7, B4, B5, etc. will be set on
each cell until all 8 dots are set. They will then be cleared one by one until all are
cleared. This process is then repeated.
Press and hold the keys as follows:
D1 to set dots B2B5 in the first cell
D2 to set dots B3B6 in the first cell
D3 to set dots B7B8 in the first cell
D4 to set dots B2B5 in the last cell
D5 to set dots B3B6 in the last cell
D6 to set dots B7B8 in the last cell
Turning a roll bar moves a pattern of B2B3B5B6 to the left or right depending on the
direction.
Pressing a roll bar produces a dash with B7B8 above this roll bar.
Pressing a cursor routing/position key sets B1B4 in the Braille cell underneath.
5.4 Switch on/off, Reset
The Braille display switches on when power is supplied to it, and switches off when
the power supply is disconnected. Power is supplied either through the mains
adapter with a serial port connection, or via a USB cable if VarioPro is connected to
the PC’s USB port. Appropriate tones are emitted when the display is switched on
and off. There is no on/off switch.
When communication ceases with the PC and no keys are pressed on the Braille
display, the device will switch off automatically once the ‘auto-power-off’ time span
