Using Varioultra As A Bluetooth Braille Display - Baum VarioUltra 20 User Manual

** New ** with v1.4: When Enable Bluetooth Automatically is checked,
Bluetooth will always be switched on when you start VarioUltra. This is
especially helpful on those occasions when your VarioUltra may have
entered suspend mode because of inactivity.
This new feature can be enabled in menu item Settings > Braille Display
Mode. Refer to section 10.9.2 for additional information.

2.5 Using VarioUltra as a Bluetooth Braille Display.

VarioUltra can be used via Bluetooth with a variety of different devices.
Out of the box, VarioUltra works with:
1) Most Bluetooth equipped Windows computers.
2) Any Mac computer that runs on Max OSX Yosemite or newer.
MacOS Sierra is the current version.
3) An iPhone or iPad running iOS 8.3 or newer.
If you're using older technology, or an Android device, you may need to
use the Bluetooth Emulation option in VarioUltra, which disguises
VarioUltra as an older BAUM braille display or notetaker.
There are three emulation modes for Bluetooth:
1) VarioUltra: this is the default mode, and works when connecting via
Bluetooth to a Windows computer when using COBRA, JAWS, or
NVDA, with a Mac computer running OSX Yosemite or El Capitan,
and with iOS devices running iOS 8.3 or newer.
2) VarioConnect: use when connecting to an Android device.
3) Pronto: use when connecting to an iOS device with iOS 7 or iOS 8, or
when connecting via Bluetooth with a Windows computer for use with
the Window-Eyes screen reading software.
It is only possible to select one emulation mode for all connections. This
means that if you use emulation mode "VarioUltra" to connect via
Bluetooth to a computer, you would not then be able to connect via
Bluetooth to another device that requires Pronto or VarioConnect
emulation.
Here are the steps needed to change the VarioUltra emulation setting:
1) From the VarioUltra main menu, go to Settings > Braille Display
Mode.
2) From the horizontal list of three options that now appears, use the
Navistick to move left or right to select the desired emulation mode.
