5) Braille tables need to match on VarioUltra and your mobile device. If
you copy contracted text from your VarioUltra, your iPhone needs to
be set to contracted braille as well. If not, the braille translation will be
affected.
6) The braille language needs to be the same also. If you copy Spanish
text from VarioUltra and paste to an iPhone that is programmed for
English, errors will occur such as accented characters not translating
correctly.
7) The transfer can take some time. Sending 5,000 characters can take
about a few minutes, also depending on the type of mobile device.
8) While the S2+D2 command will stop the transfer, there is a point
when all text has already been sent. All you can do then is to wait
until the end.
9) If you copy and paste more than 10,000 characters, only the first
10,000 characters will be sent to your mobile device.
2.5.8 VarioUltra with Mac OS & VoiceOver (Bluetooth).
For this section, we are using a MacBook Pro with macOS Sierra and a
VarioUltra 40 with version 1.33 software.
New for VarioUltra version 1.33 is the ability to initiate pairing from your
macOS device. Here are the steps you need to follow:
1) In VarioUltra Braille Notetaker, enter command B9+D1 to switch to
Computer Braille.
2) Next go to Settings > Bluetooth. If Bluetooth is off, switch it on now.
Do not exit from Bluetooth settings.
3) On your Mac, go to VoiceOver > Open VoiceOver Utility > Braille >
Displays, and select the + symbol to add a new braille display. Your
Mac will open a new window and begin searching for braille displays
in range.
4) Once found, select VarioUltra. An Option button will appear beside
the name of VarioUltra. Select this button to enter the pairing code
1111.
5) VarioUltra will then prompt you for the same code. Type 1111 using
the B2 key for #1. Press B2 four times to enter the code, and tap the
left thumb key B9 to accept.
6) To revert to contracted braille, enter command B9+D2.
You're all done! You may now switch to Braille Display mode on
VarioUltra and start using it with your Mac.
