[icon-discuss] Re: Think Outside Sierra and the Braille+

I hate to ask, but did you reset the Braille plus and then try again?  I
imagine you probably did though.

Subject: [icon-discuss] Think Outside Sierra and the Braille+

OK, before I throw the Think Outside Keyboard against the wall, does anyone
have a sure-fired way to get the two devices to see each other and actually
work?

I had it working twice.  Then, nothing.  I tried every combination I could
think of in the order I turned each one on, etc.
I finally removed the Think Outside from the Bluetooth list on the Braille+.
I then turned them both off.  I even took the battery out of the keyboard
and let it sit for a while.
I turned the braille+ back on.  I put the battery in the keyboard and closed
the sliders that lock the keyboard in place and supposedly turn it on.
No lights were flashing, so I held in the button until the green light was
flashing to say it was in discovery mode.
I opened the Bluetooth control panel on the Braille+ and selected find
devices.  It came back with an empty list.
I tried holding the button in on the keyboard for a couple of seconds as
Michael Jones had suggested I do.  Nothing.
I tried several times with different timing, order in which I did things,
etc.

At this point, I'm hoping it isn't too late to get a refund on the keyboard
from the place I bought it.  

So, unless someone has dealt with this kind of frustration and found a way
around it, the idea of using a Bluetooth keyboard has lost its luster.

Thanks,
Richard
