emulation mode can be set to VarioUltra. Please refer to section 2.4 for instructions on setting the emulation
mode.
Instructions for pairing now follow. Please ensure that VarioUltra is in Braille Notetaker mode by sliding the Device
Mode switch away from you.
1. On your Mac computer, go to System Preferences > Bluetooth. Enable Bluetooth if it is turned off.
2. On VarioUltra, go to the Settings menu and select the Bluetooth option.
3. In Bluetooth you will be presented with an on/off option, and a check box on the left side of the display. If
the checkbox at cell 6 is empty, it means Bluetooth is off. Switch it on by tapping the cursor router button
at cell 6, by tapping either of the cursor routing buttons above the word "On", or by moving the Navistick to
the right.
Note that Bluetooth is off by default from the factory, as well as following a system reboot or
software update.
4. The message "Please wait while Bluetooth is turned on" will appear on your display for a few seconds.
When the message disappears, move the Navistick up or down until you find "Scan", and select it by
tapping B9.
The display will ask you to wait while it searches for Bluetooth devices that are in range. Once the
scanning is complete, you should be presented with the name of a device. Bear in mind that if you
have multiple devices in range, the device you're attempting to pair with may not necessarily be
the first one you see. Moving the Navistick to the right will scroll you through the horizontal list of
devices that are in range.
5. Once you come to the Mac you wish to pair with, scroll down with the Navistick and you will see the word
"Pair" on the braille display. Select "Pair" by tapping B9, or by pressing one of the cursor routing buttons
above the word "Pair". A message will be displayed letting you know VarioUltra is attempting to pair with
your device.
6. Now turn your attention back to your Mac. If the pairing is working as planned, your Mac should present
you with a code dialog where you can enter code 1111, and then select "Pair".
7. VarioUltra will say that it is now pairing with your Mac.
8. On the Mac, go to System Preferences > Accessibility and select the "Open VoiceOver Utility..." button.
9. Select "Braille" inside the VoiceOver Utility dialog by moving your cursor down until you hear VoiceOver
announce "Braille" or by hitting hotkey "B".
10. Under the braille section, switch from the "Layout" tab to the "Displays" tab. To do this, tap the tab key until
you hear VoiceOver say "Layout", at which point cursor to the right to hear "Displays", and press the space
bar to select.
11. Tap the tab key again to enter the braille display table. Tap the tab key again to hear "Add", and select by
hitting the space bar.
12. At this point, your Mac will search for paired devices. When VoiceOver announces that a new line has
been added, scroll down with CTRL-OPTION-SHIFT and down arrow on the Mac. When you hear "BAUM
VarioUltra", select the "Select" button to connect.
13. Remember that in step 2 of the pairing instructions above, we instructed you to set VarioUltra in Braille
Notetaker mode. Well now we need you to change it to Braille Display mode, which you accomplish by
sliding the Device Mode switch toward the front of the device.
14. With that done, we only need to select the Mac on VarioUltra. This is done very easily by pressing and
holding down S2, and then tapping B4, B5, B6, or B8 to select Bluetooth channel 1, 2, 3, or 4 respectively.
When you select a Bluetooth channel, VarioUltra will display the letters BT and a number 1
through 4 for the different channels. If a device is attached to a selected channel, you will find the
device name appearing after the BT channel number on your display.
If the shown device name is in parenthesis the device is assigned to this channel but currently not
connected.
15. Once you find the channel with your connected device, your work is done. Enjoy!
