Pairing the Braille Trail Reader as a Terminal with a Mobile Phone
The Braille Trail Reader can be paired with mobile phones as a Bluetooth braille display. The
pairing must be initialized from the phone, just as you would pair with any other keyboard or
Bluetooth device. Please note that another connection with your phone will be performed over
Bluetooth Low Energy for application data synchronization, using a special application called
Brailliant Sync.
Please don't confuse the two – look for the terminal connection in the screen reader's menus and
the data synchronization Bluetooth Low Energy connection in the Brailliant Sync app.
Waking Up Your iOS Device Using Braille Trail Reader
When using your Braille Trail Reader, you may wake up your iOS device and initiate a connection
between the Braille Trail Reader without touching the iPhone or iPad. For this, you need the
Braille Trail Reader to be connected to the Brailliant Sync app (see "Synchronization of the Braille
Trail Reader data" section below). This connection is maintained by the devices, so you only
need to establish it once. To perform the wake-up, please turn the Mode switch to Terminal mode
position. If already in Terminal mode – please turn it to Application mode and back to Terminal
mode. The iPhone or iPad that runs Brailliant Sync software synced with your Braille Trail Reader
will wake up for a few seconds, and your iOS device will initiate Terminal connection.
For more information, refer to your mobile device screen reader user guide.
Braille Trail Reader Menu
The Braille Trail Reader Menu is activated with a short press of the power button when using it in
the terminal and application modes.
While in the menu, use the joystick LEFT / RIGHT or PREVIOUS / NEXT thumb keys to navigate
the menu. The UP and DOWN joystick movements or LEFT and RIGHT thumb keys are used to
perform various actions depending on the type of menu. To enter the selected menu item, you
need to use joystick DOWN, ENTER (dot 8) or SPACE, yet another way to choose an item is to
touch the cursor routing sensor above its name. To exit a menu, use joystick UP or ESC shortcut
(Space with E). First letter navigation is available too: in long menus, pressing the frst letter of the
item you are looking for is a quick way to jump to that item. This makes for an extremely effcient
experience. In large menus or long lists of notes, the frst letter navigation is very useful.
Another useful feature is the space with dots 123456 combination that jumps to the main menu if
you are in Applications mode.
There are 3 different types of menu items:
Read Only
System provides information that cannot be modifed.
Toggle
Allows you to toggle settings using LEFT and RIGHT thumb keys.
