The last item is: "End of Menu." Having stepped forward along the menu by pressing
SPACE or ADVANCE repeatedly, you can step back by pressing

move to the next item by pressing SPACE or BACKSPACE. This speech cut-off occurs at all points

1.16 A First Experience.
Most people hate reading User Guides. They would much rather just have a go, on the presumption
that if the product is any good, it should be obvious how it works.
If that's you, then this is your section. We'll go through two simple demonstrations: in the first we'll
create a basic word processor document, and in the second we'll do an addition with the calculator.
You should only need the simple commands that have been introduced so far.
If you are not keen on jumping in at the deep end, don't panic. It's not essential to follow these
demonstrations, because after this part we'll revert to normal manual mode, and describe in detail all
the wonderful things that the BrailleNote QT can do.
Important: The BrailleNote QT can be used immediately when you first receive it. For its first use
however, it is recommended that it be plugged into an electrical outlet to ensure that the battery is
fully recharged. For additional information on charging the battery, please see 2.1.1 Charging the
Battery.
