9.1 Key Location and Use

When properly oriented, the space bar is closest to you. The panning keys are at
each end of the braille display. See the Panning Keys section for more
information. Below the space bar are the braille cells.
For orientation purposes, there are three slightly raised tick marks located above
the braille cells. These orientation marks are spaced at every fifth braille cell. For
example, the first tick mark from the left is between the fifth and sixth braille cell.
Moving toward the top and away from you, find a row of three keys, with a wider
one - in the middle. The wide key is the Space bar. The Dot 7 input key is to the
left of the Space Bar, and the Dot 8 input key is to the right of the Space Bar.
As you continue toward the top of the face of the display, there is a navigation
pad in the middle, between the Braille Input keys and Space bar.
The navigation pad contains the four directional arrow buttons (Up, Down, Left,
Right) and the Select button.
The six traditional braille input keys are aligned horizontally along the top edge of
the face of the display, Dots 3 2 1 on the left and Dots 4 5 6 on the right.
In Stand-Alone mode, the braille input keys are used for navigation and
editing/writing.
In Remote mode, while using the display with a screen reader on a host device,
like an iPhone, the braille input keys can be used to input text or control the
functionality of applications on the host device.
