VoiceOver first. Please follow these steps:

Basic Braille from the list.

device on the Braille display.

the Basic Braille and/or the Apple device, please turn on/wake up the Basic Braille first.

Connecting the USB Cable

To connect your Basic Braille to a PC or laptop computer via USB interface, you will need
one of the two USB cables that came with your Basic Braille. The USB cable has a small
micro USB plug on one end. The other end features a bigger flat plug. If you want to use a
different USB cable, please make sure that it is not longer than 3 meters (118 inch).
