Orbit Reader 20 Plus – User guide

Connecting Mac with Bluetooth

The default configuration for pairing with Mac through Bluetooth is 'just-works'. If
Bluetooth has been turned off, it can be turned on in the menu or by pressing
Space + Dots 4 7 on the Orbit Reader 20 Plus.
If the Orbit Reader 20 Plus is in default connection, follow these steps to pair the
device with a Mac:
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.
2. When VoiceOver is on, open VoiceOver Utility by pressing VO-F8
3. Click the Braille category, click Displays, and then click the Add (+) button
4. Select Orbit Reader 20 Plus in the list. VoiceOver filters the devices it
detects to list only the Bluetooth braille displays that are within range of
your computer and that appear to match a VoiceOver braille display driver.
5. 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. Follow steps 1 through 3. Mac
shows you a dialog with a security code. To confirm the request, compare the
numbers in the Bluetooth dialog on the Mac with the code shown on your display.
If they are the same, press Dot 8 to select 'Yes' in the dialog on Mac. If the
numbers do not match, press Dot 7 to select 'No' and try the next the Orbit
Reader 20 Plus in the list. Pairing requests can be accepted by pressing Dot 8 or
rejected by pressing Dot 7 from the Orbit Reader 20 Plus device. The purpose of
this procedure is to allow more than one the Orbit Reader 20 Plus device to be
paired in the same room at the same time without pairing the wrong device.
If the Orbit Reader 20 Plus does not work with VoiceOver, it is possible that you
are not using the latest Mac OS. In that case, you have two choices:
1. Put the Orbit Reader 20 Plus in Refreshabraille 18 (RB18) Emulation
mode. Then connect it as an RB18,
2. Check for updates. We suggest you update to the latest operating system.
If the Orbit Reader 20 Plus is not listed, make sure you have turned on Bluetooth
in the Menu.
