Connecting iOS with Bluetooth

Connecting the Orbit Reader 20 Plus to an iOS device provides both braille
feedback and the ability to type and control the device with the Orbit Reader 20
Plus keyboard and directional buttons.
You must set the Orbit Reader 20 Plus to emulate RB18 in the menu.

with iOS via Bluetooth. Follow these steps to pair with Bluetooth:
1. Turn on Bluetooth. Bluetooth can be turned on in the Menu or by pressing
Space + Dots 4 7 on the Orbit Reader 20 Plus.

3. Look for the name of the unit in the list of possible braille displays. It
shows up as Orbit Reader 20 Plus or Refreshabraille18 plus the last four
digits of the serial number.
4. Activate the Orbit Reader 20 Plus device in the list to pair.
Confirm code configuration shows a random number on both the Orbit Reader 20
Plus's braille display and on the host device. To confirm the request, ensure that
the numbers match and then press Dot 8 on the Orbit Reader 20 Plus. Then
press the Pair button on your iOS device.
Once you pair the unit, iOS starts sending braille to the Orbit Reader 20 Plus,
and you can use the Orbit Reader 20 Plus input and navigation keys to control
your iOS device.
