BT: Braille keyboard stereo mono
Bluetooth® Menu. The Bluetooth® Menu shows the status of the various
Bluetooth® connections. If a connection is activated dot 7 and 8 will be raised to
indicate the connected state. Clicking on a connection with the cursor routing keys
will connect or disconnect the particular Bluetooth® connection. Note that the
Windows drivers will try to reconnect the Braille connection. Therefore it is highly
recommended to disconnect the Braille in the screen reader and not in the ALVA
BC640. Secondly, dismantling the keyboard from the ALVA BC640 will prevent the
ALVA BC640 driver from reconnecting the keyboard until it is connected from the PC
again. In general, it is recommended to have the ALVA BC640 software taking care
of the connections. Manually connecting and disconnecting any Windows Bluetooth®
connection from the ALVA BC640, except the stereo connection, may result in
incorrect behaviour.
When the ALVA BC640 tries to reconnect the audio and keyboard for the first time,
the Windows Bluetooth® software will generate a sound and show a popup window,
asking for permission to automatically reconnect the ALVA BC640 to the audio and
keyboard. To make sure the audio and keyboard automatically reconnect when a
connection is lost or when Windows or the screen reader is restarted, please select
the checkbox to always allow the connection and click the OK button. Please follow
this procedure for the keyboard connection, mono connection and stereo connection.
Should the popup not appear at the Bluetooth® notification sound, click on the
Bluetooth® icon in the system tray next to the clock.
