Pam,

I just pressed Pound, C and F and later c f. In both cases bp said empty file. Is this ok? Can I now start brailling? Also, do I give the same command press Pound, C and F to come out from note mode?

Hi:

Turn the unit so that the flash card is closest to you and the headphone jack is to your right (90 degrees from normal operation). Then, press Pound, C and F (which are now on the bottom row) at the same time. Before using it for the first time, you'll want to familiarize yourself with the Braille Keyboard Layout, which can be found in Appendix C of the manual. From the manual:

New Note: #+C+F

To start a new note, use the New Note command. When you press the New Note command, the device opens a new file in the \Notes folder. If there is no \notes folder, Book Port creates it. Once Book Port creates the new file, it switches to the braille keyboard layout. All commands you use after using this command come from the braille keyboard layout until you press Escape to exit the note.

Edit Note: 3+6+9

To edit an existing note, use the file movement commands to point to the note, then press the Edit Note command. Once the unit opens the existing note, it switches to the braille keyboard layout. All commands you use after this command come from the braile keyboard layout until you press Escape to exit
the note.

The software remembers the last position in the note file when you edit.

Inserting Text

To insert additional text into a note, use the navigation keys to move to the place in the note where you wish to add the new information, and begin typing.

Exit Note: Escape

When you finish with a note, press Escape to exit the note taker. The software leaves you pointing to the current file in the notes folder. Once you exit the note taker, the unit switches back to the normal keyboard layout, and you may use the normal file navigation commands to move from file to file or
to back out of the Notes folder.

See Appendix C for more on the Braille Keyboard layout.

Hello,

Would anyone please explain to me how do I enter Note Taking mode?
I'm trying to find this info in the manual right now, but I don't understand.
Thank you,
