2. The program will automatically run if the autostart feature of your CD-ROM
drive is enabled.
a. If the autostart feature is not enabled, open the Windows Start Menu,
select 'Run' and type d:\setup.exe (assuming d: is the letter assigned
to your disk drive) and press Enter.
b. Or, locate the ALVA_BC640 or ALVA_BC680 folder on the ALVA
BC6-series removable drive and run the "ALVA BC6 Setup.exe".
3. Select "Install screen reader drivers"
4. The setup program will guide you through the installation.
5. The setup program will automatically search your system for installations of
JAWS, Window-Eyes and Dolphin screen readers and will install all
necessary drivers, manuals and the ALVA BC6 Control Panel. Please note
that the ALVA BC640 and BC680 is only supported by Windows XP and
Windows Vista.
Drivers for screen readers other than Dolphin, Window-Eyes and JAWS are included
in the products themselves and are not found on the ALVA BC6-sereis CD-ROM.
Please refer to your screen reader documentation for more information about the
setup of the ALVA Braille Controller. You have the choice between two setup types: a
complete and a custom setup. We recommend that you use the "Complete" setup.
The "Complete" setup will automatically install and update all the necessary
components. If you would like to install the ALVA BC6-series software manually you
can choose the "Custom" setup option. This option is for advanced users only. The
"Custom" setup will ask you what components you would like to install. For each
component chosen you will need to provide the correct installation location.
Note:
The USB audio channel in Windows is configured to mix the microphone audio with
the playback audio. This can result in a beeping sound when connection the Braille
Audio Feature Pack to the PC via USB. To prevent Windows from mixing the
microphone with the playback device mute the microphone in the playback mixer of
the Windows volume control.

Bluetooth® connection
3.3.1. Preparing for Bluetooth® connection
With the ALVA BC640 and ALVA BC680 a class 1 high range USB Bluetooth®
dongle for Windows XP and Windows Vista is included. Depending on the
Bluetooth® software included with other Bluetooth® modules, it will be possible that
not all ALVA BC6-series functionality will be supported. The Bluetooth® dongle and
software, which is included with the ALVA Braille Controller, is optimized for best
performance and Bluetooth® range. We therefore highly recommend using the
supplied dongle for best results and ease of installation.
3.3.2. Setting up the Bluetooth® USB dongle
Once the screen reader drivers have been installed, the next step is the installation of
the supplied Bluetooth® USB dongle.
