On the left side of the display, going from front to back, you will find the Power
button and a micro USB-C port. The USB port allows you to connect the display
to a computer using the supplied USB cable, or to the AC adapter.
The refreshable braille cells are located toward the front of the unit. There is a
Cursor Router button above each braille cell. At each end of the display's
surface are NAV Rockers used for easy navigation. Positioned above each
NAV Rocker is a NAV Mode button which cycles through the different
navigation modes.
Positioned directly above the Cursor Router buttons, there are eight keys
similar to those on a Perkins-style braille keyboard. Going from the center, the
left-hand keys contain the following: Dot 1 under the index finger, Dot 2 under
the middle finger, dot 3 under the ring finger, and dot 7 under the little finger,
while the right-hand contains: Dot 4 under the index finger, Dot 5 under the
middle finger, Dot 6 under the ring finger, and Dot 8 under the little finger.
These keys are used to enter text or perform commands. Between dots 1 and 4
is a Menu button which is used to access the Focus configuration menu. On the
front edge, directly under and in the center of the display is a SPACEBAR. This
key is used together with the braille keys when entering commands. A
command that includes the SPACEBAR is commonly referred to as a chorded
command. For example, L CHORD or DOTS 1-2-3 CHORD.
On the front edge of the display are the following controls, located from left to
right: Left Panning button, Left Rocker bar, Left Selector button, Left Shift
button, Right Shift button, Right Selector button, Right Rocker bar, and
Right Panning button.
Note: The following sections describe how these controls work when using the
Focus Blue with JAWS. If you choose to use the Focus display with a
third-party screen reading application on a computer or mobile device,
refer to the documentation that came with the software as the functions
of these controls may be different from how they work with JAWS.
