2) The pairing was performed with VarioUltra emulation in the default
mode, which is VarioUltra. If you have never changed the emulation

2.5.2 VarioUltra with Windows PC (Bluetooth).
Pairing and connecting VarioUltra via Bluetooth with a Windows
computer may vary by PC manufacturer and/or the version of Windows
you are using. These instructions are based on our experience using
Windows 10 Home Edition with VarioUltra version 1.33.
A new feature with VarioUltra version 1.33 is the ability to initiate pairing
from the PC, which is exactly what we describe below.
In VarioUltra Braille Notetaker, enter command B9+D1 to switch to
Computer Braille.
Make sure that Bluetooth on both the computer and VarioUltra is set to
the on position. On VarioUltra, go to Settings > Bluetooth and confirm
that the checkbox is on. On the PC, go to Settings > Devices >
Bluetooth, and make sure that Bluetooth is on. Leave VarioUltra in the
Bluetooth settings.
After a brief period, your PC should discover VarioUltra and display its
name and Bluetooth identifier. For example, our VarioUltra appears as
"VarioUltra 40 E25560A9000". The words "Ready to Pair" appear directly
beneath.
Select the VarioUltra from this list and a button with the word "Pair"
appears. Select this button and your PC will prompt you to enter the
pairing code, which is 1111. Enter this code and then press enter.
VarioUltra will prompt you to accept the pairing from the windows
computer. Using Navistick, move down a line, and type 1111 using the
B2 key for #1, and then press B9 to confirm.
A confirmation message on your PC will confirm that VarioUltra is now
connected. You are now ready to use VarioUltra as a braille display with
your screen reading software.
2.5.3 Bluetooth COM Ports for use with JAWS.
If you plan to use VarioUltra with a screen reader such as JAWS, you
will need to know the outgoing COM port range during braille display
selection and setup.
