17.1 Before you Connect

Before you connect the Orbit Reader 20 Plus to a host, it is important to set the
device so that the screen reader(s) you use, recognize it. Newer versions of
screen readers recognize the Orbit Reader 20 Plus. The table below shows the
first version of the screen reader to directly support Orbit Reader 20 Plus.
Screen Reader
VoiceOver on iOS
VoiceOver on Mac
NVDA
ChromeVox
System Access
Dolphin ScreenReader
If you have an earlier version of a screen reader, or one that does not yet support
Orbit Reader 20 Plus, you must set Orbit Reader 20 Plus to emulate
Refreshabraille 18.
Note: In Refreshabraille 18 emulation, only the first 18 braille cells are used.
To set the device to emulate Refreshabraille 18, select Emulation from the Orbit
Reader 20 Plus menu and select RB18. If you plan to connect multiple host
devices and any of your preferred screen readers do not support the Orbit
Reader 20 Plus, you must use the same emulation setting for each device. Note
that if you already have emulation set and you want to change the setting, you
must disconnect the device from the host first. Temporarily turn off your screen
reader's braille support before altering the setting.
If you have paired the Orbit Reader 20 Plus with Emulation off, unpair it from
Bluetooth connections before using it again.
