Hi Tina, one thing you'll need to keep in mind is this. every time you do any kind of reset you will need to go and reactivate the receiver. 1. from the options menu press C for connectivity. 2. press B for Bluetooth. 3. make sure the Bluetooth is set to on. 4. at the search for devices prompt answer no. remember to answer no, answering yes at this point can confuse the Braillenote. 5. space down to your holux and press enter. 6. space to active synk and press enter. 7. Press A to activate the active sync. You should be back in the list of bluetooth devices. If the word active is not there, you will need to press enter again and remove the paring this time. I've seen people need to remove the paring two times before the word paird is gone. Once the word pared is gone press enter on the receiver name, then enter again on active sync. You will be asked pare with and activate? Answer yes. For the authentication code just press enter. To answer your question about going into options connectivity every time, I never do I always leave my bluetooth on. So here are the steps I do. 1. turn on the receiver. 2. turn on the BrailleNote. 3. wait 15 to 20 seconds. 4. press n for navigation. providing the system is pared and active you should be connected to the receiver. Hope this helps. xChris On Sun, 20 Jul 2008 16:17:32 -0700, "Tina B." <tinabir@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Hi. I had a couple questions on the connexction to the receiver. I havethe hollux and this morning it sait it wasn't active, yet was clearly trackingeverything i was doing and later when coming home, I couldn't get connected for anything ! Really irritating so my question is, do you have to go in tooptions in keysoft every time you want to connect and when just usiing the display as i tend to do, how in the world do you know when activesync isactive becaudse it doesnt say active, but i think i saw the question mark byit go away and, do you just do the hot key to go from options in to navigation the spacre with n or do you go all they way back of of optionsbavck to the main menu then to gps . just wondering if i'm mising something.also, do people generallly walk outside then start the gps up or start itinside and is it better to ask it to connext and start moving or wait for it to connect firstsometimes it has worked for me and sohmetimes not, so houghti'd ask and tonight make suret he hollux has a full charge since i forgot last night although it wasn't on loong yesterday.----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Grabowski" <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <gps-talkusers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, July 15, 2008 5:08 PM Subject: [gps-talkusers] Re: rotecting the braille display in travelHi, You can use a feature called stationary mode. 1. set up multiple repeat commands such as intersection nearest address etc. 2. The default interval is every 12 seconds. this will trigger the commands every 12 seconds. 3. in order to use stationary mode set your multiple repeat delay to 0. This will only trigger multiple repeat commands when you stop moving. This way you don't need to mess with the keyboard as you are walking. There are lots of Built in one handed commands for the Braille keyboards. IE next turn is backspace with dots 2-3. Have fun.

I'm out, and right now when I'm not using the display I just close the case, but would that jar anything, interrupt how the program works? What are other braille users doing? Also, after your comfortable with the program, when yo out walking, is it possible to check sreed, pois around you, that stuff when your walking? my friend said she has to stop a lot. I'm a one handed user so may not need to, but wanted to ask.
