Appendix C: Braille Display Information

Part A: Using a refreshable Braille display with the Ace Plus

(See Part B of Appendix C for details on supported Braille displays and

information on which controls on each particular display corresponds to which

control on the Ace Plus).

To use a refreshable Braille display with the Ace Plus, turn on the Ace Plus

device by pressing the power button. Please wait until the device is fully booted

and you hear “Scan and Read,” and then connect the Braille display to Ace Plus

using the USB port located on the left side of the device. The Braille display

should start within 10-30 seconds.

the Home Button to get to the Main Menu. Use the Right Roller to Scroll down to
