Subject: Connecting to wifi, downloading and reading books from NLS BARD
with Victor Reader Stream Made Easy, very late tip from Dan for Wednesday
September 24 2014
This is a document I put together after helping several individuals connect
to bard. I did encounter one person who did not yet register their VRS
withBARD. If this not done, books from BARD can not be played on the VRS.
I hope this makes the process easier.
Have an great evening!

You can press number six to explore more books as download continues.

9. If the VRS gets shut off during download, or connection to the wifi is
broken due to out of range, the download will continue once connection is
established again.
You can move to internet radio or any other service on the online menu and
the download continues. A tone will be heard when download is completed no
matter what service is currently being accessed.
*III. Reading a book and moving it from the NLS BARD bookshelf to your SD

Note: Reading downloaded books from the nls bard site can only be done via
wifi.
So moving them to the SD card is good for accessing the book
1. When online, press number one until reaching "NLS BARD." If there is a
book downloaded, VRS will voice "NLS BARD, (number of books), search NLS
BARD books" So if there is one book available from downloading, VRS says,

into the "search NLS BARD books."

book to the sd card. VRS will ask you to press pound (confirm) and the book
will be moved with progress percentages announced.
The book is removed from the nls bard book shelf.
