4.9 Exiting KeyBook.
Exit KeyBook in the usual way by pressing ESCAPE to take you back to the Main Menu. The book
is closed when you exit. To reopen the book from anywhere in the Main Menu, press B, then
ENTER a number time depending on where you are in the system. You are returned to the place
where you were last reading.
Remember that you can switch to another task while using KeyBook, as described in 1.18
Switching Between Tasks. For example, to make an entry in the Planner, press FUNCTION with 6.
When you have completed your entry, press FUNCTION with 9 to return to KeyBook. The
BrailleNote QT may beep once or twice, indicating it is busy preparing to resume from where you
were when you switched tasks.
