Getting Started Guide

Powering On and Off
If your device is charged, press and hold the Power button on the left edge of the device for
approximately 2 seconds to turn on your eReader.
“Starting” should appear on the braille display with a tactile loading animation that circles during
start-up. After a few seconds, loading is complete. The “Notetaker” application is shown as
selected on the braille display. Your eReader is now ready for use.
To turn the device off, press and hold the Power button for 2 seconds.
Navigating Menus
To navigate from item to item in menus, press the Up (leftmost) and Down (rightmost) thumb
keys, located on the front edge of your device. As you press the Up and Down thumb keys, the
menu items change on the braille display. Each item represents an application or option you can
activate.
To activate a menu item, press one of the Cursor Routing keys. You can also press the Enter key
(Dot 8) on the braille keyboard to activate a menu item.
Panning Text
Often, sentences may exceed the 20 characters displayed on your eReader. To continue reading
through the end of a sentence or backward towards the start of a sentence, use the Left and Right
thumb keys immediately to the left and right of the Home button to pan text.
Using the Context Menu
The Context Menu is accessible from almost everywhere in your device. It offers useful contextual
functions that are relevant to what you are currently doing on your eReader. This is similar to the
Context menu on a PC. If you are looking for a specific action or shortcut, chances are you can find
it in the Context Menu.
To activate the Context Menu, press Space + H (Dots 1, 2, 5). A menu opens with a list of actions
you can perform at that moment. Scroll through this menu until you find what you are looking
for, then press Enter (Dot 8) or a Cursor Routing button.
Accessing the Built-in User Guide
To access the build-in user guide, activate the Bookreader item from the Main Menu, then select
User Guide. There you find the complete user guide along with a command reference. This is
where to find the most up-to-date information, as well as other resources to help you make the
most of your eReader 20.
Alternatively, you can download the user guide from our website.
