minutes for VarioUltra to attain a minimum amount of power. If you
notice the cells fill up with all dots showing in each cell, you will need at
least 5 cells to be filled before switching on VarioUltra.

1.5 Checking Battery Level.

You can check the battery level of VarioUltra in both Braille Notetaker
and Braille Display modes. In Braille Notetaker mode, give two short
taps of system key S3. If you're in Braille Display mode, press and hold
S2 and then tap the left thumb key, B9.

1.6 Braille Notetaker Commands.

Trying to remember all the shortcut commands on day 1 is probably not
a practical idea. The good news is that while you're learning what the
Braille Notetaker can do, you can achieve virtually all things by using the
menus.
Remember:
1) A long press of the S3 button will always take you back to the last
position in the main menu.
2) When inside an application, a short press of the S3 button will open
the Command Menu in much the same way that the ALT key opens
menus on Windows, or CTRL Function F2 opens them on a Mac.
3) When inside the Command Menu of a VarioUltra application, a short
press of the S3 button exits back to the application.
4) In the case of many other braille notetakers, commands are typically
achieved by pressing the space bar with a braille character. This is
commonly referred to as a chord command. Chord C means you
press the space with dots 1 and 3 on the braille keyboard.
5) VarioUltra provides commands to do virtually anything from any
location inside the device. To achieve this, you will typically use
braille keys B7 and/or B8 along with the chord command. To copy
something in VarioUltra, you press the left thumb key B9 with dots 1,
3, and 8. If you haven't typed with your pinky fingers in a while this
may feel strange at first, but once mastered, it will feel like second
nature.
