the message 'Battery state not available' you are supposed to charge the
Battery for approximately 4 hours until the Basic Braille shows 'Battery FULL'.

Bluetooth settings (only Basic Braille with Bluetooth)
Here you can enable or disable the Bluetooth interface.
'Bluetooth OFF': You can connect the Basic Braille only via USB cable to the
PC.
'Bluetooth ON': You can also connect the Basic Braille via Bluetooth to the PC.
'Bluetooth AUTO': The Basic Braille will look for a Bluetooth connection for 15
minutes. If no connection will be established, the Bluetooth interface turns off.
PC or mobile device cannot find the Basic Braille until you switch it on again.
The chosen setting (ON, OFF, AUTO) will be shown in the welcome message
after switching on the Basic Braille.

Toggle Battery warning on/off (only Basic Braille with Bluetooth)
If the battery is low, the Basic Braille can remind you to charge it.
'Low battery warning ON': If the battery life reaches a critical value, dots 7 and
8 are blinking every 15 seconds. The battery life will then last approx. 10 to 15
minutes more. Please charge the battery immediately.
'Low battery warning OFF': The Basic Braille does not remind you to charge
the battery.

Permit battery charging (only Basic Braille with Bluetooth)
'Battery charge disabled': The battery will not be charged if the Basic Braille is
connected via USB to a PC. This setting is useful if you are on the road with a
laptop which has a lower battery life than the Basic Braille. It's saving the
laptop's power. But if the Basic Braille is turned off, it´s battery will be charged
anyway, even if you have chosen "Battery charge disabled". If you want to save
the laptop's power, we recommend disconnecting the Basic Braille. This
message will be shown before the welcome message, while turning the Basic
Braille on to remind you that the battery will not be charged. If the battery is low,
the Basic Braille takes only a little power (100 mA) from the laptop for operating
the Basic Braille and slowly charging the battery. Therefore you can always use
this setting for USB connection.
'Battery charge enabled': The Basic Braille´s battery will be charged via USB.
We recommend this setting, if your PC is connected to a power outlet.
