The Braille Trail Reader's battery management system includes a battery protection circuitry that
prevents it from being damaged by total discharge. If the battery is low, the Braille Trail Reader
will warn you with a beeping sound before switching off automatically.
Never try to replace the battery yourself. This will likely damage the device and void the warranty.
If your device is in need of repair, please contact APH Customer Service at 800-223-1839.
Powering On/Off
Pressing and holding the power button for approximately three seconds will turn the device on or
off. A beeping sound will be heard, and "starting" will appear on the braille display.
When pressing and holding the power button for approximately 15 seconds, the Reader will
reset.
If there is no action on the device (no communication with the PC and no user action on the
buttons), the device will turn off after the "auto-power-off" period expires. The Reader will beep
twice when there is one minute left in the power-off time period. This counter/period will reset
every time data is received from the PC or a user action occurs.
Installation and Connectivity
Interface Ports
You can connect your Braille Trail via USB or Bluetooth to your PC or Bluetooth for your
mobile devices. If you use USB to connect to a Notebook or PC, the Braille Trail battery will be
recharged in the process.
USB Port
USB connectivity is supported by Windows computers (32 and 64 bits).
Please install the Braille Trail Reader driver prior to connecting the braille display to your PC.

Please visit the Brailliant BI 14 section on the support page at
to download
the drivers.
Then, when you connect Braille Trail Reader LE for the frst time, it will be recognized
automatically.
Plug the rectangular USB Connector into your PC. Plug the small Micro USB Connector at
the other end of the USB cable into the Braille Trail Reader micro USB port. This is the small,
rectangular socket along the left side.
Once the Braille Trail Reader driver has been installed, and the Braille Trail Reader has been
connected to the USB port, the braille display will stay connected as if it was connected to a
serial port; the driver is simulating what is known as a virtual serial port. This has the advantage
that the Braille Trail Reader can be used with screen readers that can only support serial braille
displays.
Installing this driver means that one USB port on the computer will be perceived as a serial port,
such as COM3. To ascertain which virtual COM-port has been created, go to the Start menu
