This is not correct. Here is the information I sent to John:

Top row:

DOT 3 DOT 2 DOT 1 DOT 4 DOT 5 DOT 6

Middle row:

ESC LEFT ARROW UP ARROW DOWN ARROW ENTER

Third row:

DOT 7 BACKSPACE SPACE SPACE DELETE DOT 8=20

Der John,
      APH needs to rewrite this part of the manual.
      Holding the BP in the correct position, the 6 keys on the top row=20
correspond to those on a brailler: 321456.
The e cancels braille mode
the 2 exits braille mode.

The bottom row is:
nothing, backspace, space bar, forward, nothing, and nothing.

TO execute find:
Cord f
Type in your search.
Hit the 2 key.
Then 8 and 9 together to search forward or 7 and 8 to search backward.

That string will stay until changed or reset.

HTH
