Introduction.
Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of the new VarioUltra, and are no doubt keen to learn how it works.
The purpose of this user guide is to introduce you to the main functions of the device, with a number of step-by-
step examples that you can follow along with on your VarioUltra. These steps in turn will help you gain experience
with your new device.
Note:
1. Your VarioUltra is shipped with the Device Lock switch in the locked position. On the left side of
VarioUltra, it will be necessary to slide the switch away from you to unlock the device and be able to
switch it on.
2. VarioUltra ships by default with Computer Braille selected. To toggle between computer braille and
contracted braille (grade 2), use the Master Switch command, B9+D1. Refer to section 3.1.2 on page 16
of this manual for additional details on configuring this feature.
3. We encourage you to first read chapter 1, starting on page 6, in order to first familiarize yourself with
VarioUltra, especially the keyboard and button layout, and the command structure.
4. If you're looking for information on pairing via Bluetooth and/or connecting via USB, refer to chapter 2,
which starts on page 9.
5. Finally, for lists of VarioUltra commands, and commends that you can use when working with VoiceOver,
JAWS, or BrailleBack, please refer to chapter 15, starting on page 64.
If you need assistance at any time, please email us at
