18.4 Viewing BrailleNote Touch Software
Version
The fastest way to see the version number of your BrailleNote Touch is to type SPACE with I from the
main menu. This will open the Tablet Status window which gives you useful information about your
tablet – status, Model Number, Android version, and so on.
An alternate way to view your version number is to access the Main menu by pressing the Home button.
Scroll down to the All Applications item located at the bottom of the main menu and activate the item.
Scroll down to the Settings item using the thumb key or by typing the letter S and activate the item.
With the thumb keys, scroll down to the About tablet item located at bottom of the settings list and
activate the item.
You will be directed to the About tablet screen which lists the version number of your tablet as well as
other software information.
18.5 Encrypting your Touch
It is possible for you to encrypt your Touch. Before doing so, you will need to set up a lock screen
password. From the KeySoft Options menu, press SPACE with O. Press A to go to Android System
Settings. Then, press S until you find the security options and activate it with ENTER or a cursor router
key. Press S again until you find the option “Screen security” and navigate down one time with SPACE or
the Next thumb key. Activate the next item to choose the screen lock security method. Then, navigate to
“Password” and activate it. Enter your password using the Braille table for password entry (please refer
to Appendix B for the complete list), then press ENTER. Confirm your password, then press ENTER again.
You are now ready to encrypt your device. You may do so from the Android Security Options. Press E to
select the “Encrypt tablet” item and activate it. This process will take up to one hour. Once this process
is complete, you will need to enter your encryption password every time you restart your device or
unlock your BrailleNote Touch.
