Getting Started Guide

Orientation and Description
With the device on a flat surface in front of you, the proper operational orientation is with the
braille cells closest to you.
The top surface includes the braille display and the braille keyboard. Beginning with the braille
cells (closest to you) and moving away from you are the small round Cursor Routing buttons,
located just above the braille cells. You use the routing buttons to move the braille cursor when
reading and editing and to activate items in a menu.
Continuing away from you, on a small rise in the surface is the braille keyboard. The layout of the
keys for the braille keyboard is similar to most braille displays, with the traditional six braille input
keys, a Backspace key (Dot 7), an Enter key (Dot 8), and two Space keys.
Along the front edge of the device (closest to you) are five controls. The two outermost
rectangular buttons are the Up and Down thumb keys and are used to move between items in a
menu.
Moving inward along the front edge, are two more rectangular buttons called the Panning keys.
These allow you to move to the previous and next 20-cell section of the text you are reading.
In the center of the front edge is the small, round Enter key. Use this key to activate menu items
and exit the braille terminal when in Terminal mode.
On the left edge of the device, from front to back, is the lanyard slot followed by the USB-A port,
used to connect a USB drive or other external USB storage device to the eReader. Next is the
Power button, which has a small dot on it for easy recognition. Next is a small LED display, which
shows the status of your device. The last port is the USB-C connector, used to connect the eReader
to a host device or the AC adapter.
On the back edge of the device and to the far left is an SD Card slot. Use an SD card for storing
documents and for updating the software and firmware on the device.
On the right edge, from front to back, are the lanyard slot, the speaker, Volume Down and Volume
Up buttons, and the audio jack (for future use).
Charging the Device
NOTE: Make sure to charge your eReader completely prior to use.
Connect the USB-C end of the USB cable to the USB-C port located on the left edge of your
eReader. Very little effort is required and forcing the connection can damage the cable or the
device.
Connect the other end of the USB cable to the power adapter. Then plug the power adapter into
a power outlet. The USB connector and power adapter are included with your eReader. Use the
provided power adapter for optimal recharge.
