There are two USB ports on the left edge of VarioUltra. The standard
USB port is for use with a standard USB stick. The smaller, micro USB
port is used to connect to power, or to connect to a Windows or Mac
computer.
There are two slider switches on the left side of VarioUltra: one is the
Device Mode switch; the other is the Lock Switch. The one next to the
micro USB port is the Device Mode switch. When facing toward the back
of VarioUltra, you will be in Braille Notetaker mode. When facing toward
the front, you will be in Braille Display mode. The Lock Switch is closest
to the front. When facing away from you, VarioUltra is unlocked. When
facing toward you, VarioUltra is locked. When locked, no buttons work,
including the power button.
The power button can be found on the right side of VarioUltra. When
switched off, a short press of the power button starts VarioUltra. Once
on, a short press of the power button puts VarioUltra into Suspend
mode. A short press wakes it up again, and so on.
If you hold the power button for 15-20 seconds, VarioUltra will reboot. To
shut down VarioUltra completely, hold down the S4 key, press and
release the power button, and immediately release S4. VarioUltra will
vibrate and shut down.

1.3 Switching on VarioUltra for the First Time.

Your VarioUltra should arrive with the lock switch in the locked position.
Slide this switch to the unlocked position, and press and release the
power button. From a cold start, VarioUltra boots up in about 45
seconds.
During the boot up process, you will witness a progress bar of dots 7
and 8, followed by a flashing cursor at cell position 1, and the name
"VarioUltra 20" or "VarioUltra 40" displayed beside it. When this
message disappears, your device is ready to use. If your device is in
Braille Notetaker mode, you will be at the top of the main menu, which
means Word Processor is displayed. If your device is in Braille Display
mode, you will probably see USB displayed for a few seconds, and then
the display goes blank until you choose to connect to something.
Note that if VarioUltra was previously in suspend mode, a short tap of
the power button wakes up the device in a couple of seconds. It just
wakes up where you left off. Note too that VarioUltra will switch off after
13
