10.1.1 Vibration Settings.
Audible Tones is the default alert setting in VarioUltra. The Vibration Settings option in the Settings >
Alerts submenu is where you can toggle the vibration feature on or off.
In the dialog, check or uncheck the check box that you find here. You can toggle by pressing the cursor
routing button above the checkbox, or by tapping the Navistick to the right. Go down one line to confirm
with OK, or down two lines to CANCEL.
Note: if the vibration option is unchecked (off), this will disable all vibration functions including the silent
alarm option.
10.1.2 Device volume.
The device volume governs the general volume for the audible tones in VarioUltra.
From Settings > Alerts, open the Volume option to view the edit box, which also contains the current
value. At this point you can either enter a value between 0 and 100, or toggle left or right with the
Navistick to adjust the value by increments of 10.
Shortcut command system key S4+B1B2B3B4B5B6B7B8 (all braille keys, B1 through B8) can also be
used to set the device volume. You can also lower or raise the volume in increments of 10 by using
shortcut commands system key S4+B3B7 and system key S4+B6B8 respectively.
10.2 Braille.
The Braille entry and its submenus allow you to change the way braille is managed and displayed.
Options include:
Setting the left and right margins
Braille display movement when margins are reached
Cursor style in Editing Mode and Reading mode
Braille input and output tables.
Braille code used for the presentation of menus, dialogs, system messages, etc.
As with all menus in VarioUltra, you can scroll up and down with the Navistick or with display keys D1 and
D3. To scroll left and right, again use the Navistick, or display buttons D2 and D5.
10.2.1 Braille Presentation.
The Braille Presentation option is used to set a left and/or right margin, and allows you to determine
whether the braille display should jump or drag when the left and right margins are reached. These
settings are valid both when editing texts in the word processor and in edit boxes. When reading
(scrolling) with display buttons D2 or D5, these settings are ignored.
Note: The settings made in the Presentation dialog are ignored in the word processor when the "Show
Whole Word" function has been activated.
10.2.1.1 Left/Right Margin.
Margin settings can be useful when creating or proofreading documents. VarioUltra allows you to set a
left and/or a right margin via the Settings > Braille > Presentation menu. When you enter Presentation,
the first option presented on the display is for the left margin; the right margin setting is one line down.
Whichever margin you wish to set, the process is the same. The braille display will show an edit box into
which you type how many characters from the edge you wish the margin to be. The number you enter
here represents the number of characters from the edge of the left or right side of the braille display that
the margin will start from or end at.
10.2.1.2 Line Jump/Drag.
When the cursor moves next to a margin, VarioUltra will move the display left or right accordingly. If
movement is set to jump, VarioUltra will scroll one line to the left or right. If you have a 20-cell model, your
display will move left or right by 20-characters; naturally, the 40-cell model will move the display left or
right by 40-characters. If movement is set to drag, VarioUltra scrolls the braille display one character to
the left or right in place, with the cursor remaining at the respective margin.
