Christine,
OK, you can set up your own braille display for the braille you want to use.
From the main menu, go to options with O-chord and hit B for braille. From
there you can set the options you want. You'll want the preferred reading
grade as grade 2 and the preferred English braille code probably set to UK,
but you may prefer one of the other options.
Don't forget, if you don't know how to change an option, use the H-Chord and
get help.
You should manage that now but let me know if you are still stuck.
Sorry I've only just seen this message.
