Installation and Connection

Please set the Braille display in working position, in front of a keyboard or notebook. Put your hands in
reading position on the Braille cells. The thumbs rest on the Easy Access Bar. Correct the Braille display until
you obtain the best setting for your working position.
You will find the only connection on the Braille display at the rear of the right side panel. This is a mini USB-
connector. A suitable connection cable will be included in the delivery. The smaller connector has to be
plugged into the port of the Braille display. By means of the USB connector data will be transferred from a
PC or note book to the BRAILLEX device. The Braille display is also supplied with power via the USB
connector. That is the reason why an external power supply unit is not required.
BRAILLEX ELc units may only be used in combination with computer systems supporting USB. Microsoft
Windows NT4 und DOS are not supported.
When you connect the USB cable to the switched-on PC or notebook the LED close to the USB-connector
indicates that the connection between Braille display and PC/notebook is established. On the Braille display,
a starting message will appear.

Panels

Top

The Braille display is placed along the front line. It almost occupies the whole width of the device.
