Switch On The Device; Writing Text - Baum Pronto! 18 V4 Short Manual

Let's look more closely at the sloped front side. We already know the 2 square thumb keys left (B9)
and right (B0) of the Navistick. Further to the left and the right we find each 2 small round buttons.
These system keys are used to switch Pronto! to stand-by mode, to switch it back on, and to switch
between various applications. They can also carry out other functions that we will learn later.
From left to right on the sloped front side we find the following elements:
S1 and S2 keys, the thumb key B9, the Navistick, the thumb key B0, the S3 and S4 keys.

9.2 Switch on the Device

To switch Pronto! on (either for the first time or after recharging the battery) press and hold the
on/off button for ca. 3 seconds.
NB: if this button is pressed again, Pronto! will shut down completely. Pronto! should normally be
switched off by using the system keys to switch to Stand-by mode.
After switching on you will hear a two-tone rising signal; if you hear a falling two-tone signal
immediately afterwards, Pronto! will shut down automatically as it is not receiving enough power. If
so, the battery must be charged: take the charger, insert the small round plug into the small
opening on the far back at the left of Pronto!, and connect the second cable to a power socket. Then
press the on/off button on the right-hand side of the device once again and wait for the rising
signal.
During the switching-on procedure short signals will be emitted and after about a minute you will
hear the message "main menu Word processor".
Now press Return or on the Braille keyboard the left thumb key B9 to confirm, and a blank
document will open.

9.3 Writing Text

Now type your first practice text: "Pronto! is wonderful and very useful. We enjoy working with
Pronto!". Then press Return or Braille key B8 to start a new line.
If you make any typing errors, simply press Backspace (the last key on the right of the top row) or
press the Braille key B7 to delete the characters backwards.
There are several ways of placing the cursor at a particular point:
1. move the Navistick with your thumb in the appropriate direction to the desired spot
2. use the right or left arrow key to the desired spot
3. Press the small positioning key to rout the cursor onto the desired position.
When moving through the text the speech output will read out the current character and on the
Braille display the cursor is displayed with dots 7,8.
New text will always be inserted at the current cursor position; please ensure that the cursor is
placed at the end of the line before inputting more text. To do this either use the arrow keys to
move down and then to the right, letter by letter, until you reach the end of the last word, or use the
command to jump to the end of the file – press and hold the left FN key, press and hold the left
Control key, press the right arrow key and then release all three keys. The left FN key is the third key
from the left on the bottom row. This key combination corresponds to the command Control+End,
