2. Basic Functions of the Braille Sense OnHand 2.1 How to Use the Commands All of the commands that you will use on the Braille Sense OnHand are comprised of different combinations of the Braille keys. In this user manual, the “-” sign is used to indicate key combinations. For example, “Space-z (dots 1-3-5-6)” indicates that the user should press the “space bar” and “letter z (dots 1-3-5-6)” simultaneously and then release them at the same time.
you the name of the program that was running on the Braille Sense OnHand when you turned it off.

the “File” menu in order to move directly to “New”. “Enter-n (dots 1-3-45)” is what you would press to access the function “New” from anywhere in the word processor. The “n” is the shortcut key and “Enter-n” is the hotkey. It is important to note that not all shortcut keys work from anywhere in the Braille Sense OnHand; some commands will only work while you are in a specific program. For example, if you want to activate the “new document” option in the word processor.
pushing the power switch toward you. Now, bring up the “program” menu. You can bring up the “program” menu by pressing “F1”. The “program” menu is the top menu in the Braille Sense OnHand. That is, the “program” menu is the parent directory for everything, as there are no directories or menus above the “program” menu.
The following table shows the names and the symbols of the control symbols that are displayed in front and back of menu names. Name Menu Menu item List item Edit box Multi edit box Computer edit box Symbol Comments MN It means the menu that has submenus. MI It means the menu that does not have a submenu. LI The item name after this symbol represents the name of the item in any list. (Ex: “LI database” or “LI sample.
Combo box CB Edit combo box ECB Prompt button PB Static box ST Link LN Anchor ANC Radio button RB (Ex: “CE To: (cursor) “ in the email program) It represents the combo box in which you can choose an item by pressing the up scroll button or the down scroll button. (Ex: “CB Type: *.*” in the “Open dialog box” of the word processor program) You can choose the desired item by pressing the up or down scroll button, or by directly typing in the item name.
Radio button SRB select Radio button URB unselect Check box check SCHB Check box uncheck UCHB button, down scroll button, space, or Backspace. Also it cycles between items when pressing this key. (Ex: “RB Attribute: Write” in the “Information dialog box” of the file manager) It means that the radio button is selected in the web browser It means that the radio button is not selected in the web browser. It means that the check box is selected. It means that the check box is not selected.
“Space-m (dots 1-3-4)” and the “F2” key will open the specific menu for each program. The “F3” key has the same function as “tab (“Space-45”). If you press “Space-F3”, this will have the same function as pressing “shift-tab (“Space-1-2”)”. The “F4” key will function just like the “escape” key does on a personal computer. This key performs the same function as pressing “Space-e (dots 1-5)”. Please note that the “escape” key does not exit a program, as does “Space-z (dots 1-3-5-6)”.
battery power. The power source indicates whether power is coming from the battery or the AC power supply. If the battery power level drops under 15 percent, the Braille Sense OnHand will display the battery status on the Braille display, and it will announce (through the speakers) that the battery has less than 15 percent of its power left.
books into categories. Each category can be compared to what are called “folders” on the Braille Sense OnHand. The books in each section can be compared to what are called “files” on the Braille Sense OnHand. You can save files into any folders at your convenience. If you make the proper folder names for files you are saving, it will make it easier to find saved files when you need to access them later.
