which is perhaps known to you from Windows.
When using the Braille keyboard the command to jump to the end of the file is executed by
pressing the Braille keys B4B5B6 together with the left thumb key B9.
Practice by writing a few more sentences.

9.4 Reading Text

To read through your practice text, jump to the beginning of the file by pressing the left FN key
together with the Control key and the left arrow key or Braille keys B1B2B3 together with the left
thumb key B9.
To read line by line, either go down the text with the Navistick or the down arrow, or similarly up
with the Navistick or the up arrow.
When reading, only 40 characters of the text are displayed on the Braille display. You can see the
remaining part of the text with the help of the display keys - three small round buttons in a row on
the right and left of the Braille display. By pressing the right middle display key (D5) you will see the
next 40 characters of the text line, and by pressing the left middle display key (D2) you will go back
40 characters. This is called scrolling.

9.5 Call up Values, Stand by and wake up Pronto!

Some time has now passed and you would like to know what time it is: briefly pressing the System
key S4 will give the local time (S4 is the second key on the right along from the Navistick). Pressing
this key briefly twice in succession will give the date. If this key is pressed for a little longer, however,
you will not hear the time but instead you will hear a faint signal and Pronto! will switch to Stand-by
mode; even when Pronto! is "asleep" you can still consult the time or date by pressing S4 briefly.
So, how do we now wake Pronto! up and get back to our practice text? Simply press the extreme
left System key (S1) for a short while – if you do not hold it down long enough Pronto! will carry on
"sleeping" and this time will read out the temperature. Out of curiosity you once again press the S1
key twice briefly and this time you will hear the air pressure.
If you press the left System key (S1) long enough, Pronto! will wake up. This will take you back to the
Word processor where you can read your practice text by moving up and down through it.
If Pronto!'s announcements are too loud or too quiet, the volume can be adjusted with the wheel
on the left side of the device. Turning the wheel towards you will decrease the volume, and turning
it away from you will increase it. The volume cannot be turned off completely with this wheel and it
will always retain a minimum value.

9.6 Help

How can the practice text be saved, or a new blank document or new file opened (e.g. the manual)?
Pronto!'s help system can help with these tasks. There are two types: the automatic Quick Help, and
the context sensitive Long Help. Quick Help provides information on the highlighted element of a
menu or dialog, and is given automatically via the speech output. For more detailed information on
