9.2 Panning Keys

The Panning keys are two-function rocker keys found at either end of the braille
display. These keys control how you read the lines of the text: either next or
previous. Pressing one end of the key results in one action, while pressing the
opposite end results in the opposite action.
To read the next display of text (panning forward), press the bottom part of the
key (down) on either Panning key. To read the previous display of text (panning
backward), press the top part of the key (up) on either Panning key.

9.3 8-Dot Braille Cells

The Orbit Reader 20 Plus is a six-dot braille device with two additional dots
below Dot 3 and Dot 6. These two additional dots are Dot 7 and Dot 8, which are
used to indicate capitalization while reading and editing the file. These dots also
indicate a selected item in the menu, text with attributes or accent marks or a
cursor. Their exact use depends on the application you use with the display.

10 Getting Started

The Orbit Reader 20 Plus has two modes: Stand-Alone mode and Remote mode.
In Stand-Alone mode, the device is a book reader that uses an SD card as
storage media. In Remote mode, the device works like a braille display and
needs to be connected to a computer or other host with a screen reader.
This section explains how to charge, turn the device on and off, insert the SD
card, and enter and exit the menus.

10.1 Charging the Device

When you receive the Orbit Reader 20 Plus, it may be already charged; however,
we recommend that it should be fully charged before or during first use. You can
use the device and charge it at the same time, so it saves reading time. When
the battery in Orbit Reader 20 Plus gets to 10% of its capacity, Dot 8 of the 20th
cell on the display starts blinking on and off. This behavior is normal and
indicates that the battery is low.
To charge the device, use the Standard-A to Micro-B USB cable and the charger
power plug provided with the unit. Insert the small end of the cable into the Orbit
Reader 20 Plus's USB port. It should slide in without resistance; do not force it.
Now insert the large end of the cable into a computer's USB connector or the AC
adapter provided. Plug the adapter into an AC wall connector.
If the device is on when you connect the charger, the display shows "-- Charger
connected". When you unplug the charger, it shows "-- Charger unplugged". The
charger plugged and unplugged indications are displayed briefly even when the
unit is off. The language of the message depends on the language you select for
