8 Part I - Introduction - First Steps on Pronto! 18

Congratulations! You finally have Pronto! in your hands and are no doubt keen to learn how it
works. The following text is not a complicated handbook, and is aimed at introducing you to the
main functions through practical examples. You will be able to try out everything on your Pronto! as
you read, and thus gain your first experience with Pronto!.

8.1 Set up Pronto!

Back to Pronto!, first things first.
Your fingers should rest on the 8 flat square buttons on the back upper side, with the little fingers
on the outermost Braille buttons B7 and B8, and the thumbs on the two thumb keys on the front
edge. Under your palm is the Braille display. You can thus easily reach the Navistick stick in the
round hole in the middle of the front side with either thumb. The Navistick can be moved up and
down, to the right and to the left, and can be pressed in the middle position.
To the right and left of the thumb keys you will see two small round buttons, the so-called system
buttons. They have various functions that will be described below.

8.2 Switch on the Device

To start Pronto! for the first time or after a total discharge of the battery, press the two outermost
system buttons (S1+S4) simultaneously for roughly 3 seconds.
NB: when Pronto! is switched on and the outermost system keys S1 and S4 are pressed and held for
approximately 10 seconds, Pronto! will completely switch off again. You do not want to do this
unless Pronto has crashed or you do not want to use it for more than three weeks.
