and it will start running. If you press “Enter” in the “Countdown timer”,
the Braille Sense OnHand will tell you the remaining time, and then it will
pause. If you press “Enter” again, it will restart. Pressing “Backspace”
will clear the “Countdown timer”. If the timer reaches zero, you will hear
a 10-second alarm, and the “Countdown timer” will clear. If you press
“Backspace-Enter” while the alarm is sounding, the alarm will stop and
your timer will clear, and will be ready to accept a new time.
If you press “tab (“Space-4-5”)” or “shift-tab (“Space-1-2”)” again
anywhere in the count down timer, the stopwatch will be ready. If you
want to exit the “Stopwatch” or “Countdown timer”, press “Space-z (dots
1-3-5-6)” anywhere within the “Stopwatch” or “Countdown timer”, and
you will return to the “Stopwatch” menu.
17.9 Terminal for Screen reader
The “Terminal for screen reader” function allows the Braille Sense
OnHand to be used as a Braille display when hooked up to a computer
that uses a compatible screen reader such as Window-Eyes or
Supernova. Before using this function, make sure that the Braille
Sense OnHand is connected to your personal computer via a Bluetooth
serial or to the USB client port. To turn on this function, go to the
“Utilities” menu, and press “Enter”. Then, press “Space-4”, until you
hear “Terminal for screen reader”. Then, press “Enter”. If you activate
“Terminal for screen reader”, you will see the list of connection methods.
In the list, you will see “Bluetooth serial port” and “USB port”. Press
“Space-1” or “Space-4” until you reach what you want to select. If you
have selected one, press “Enter” and you will hear “Terminal mode”.
The Braille Sense OnHand will no longer say anything, as it is now
simply acting as a Braille display for your computer. If you fail to
connect, you will be returned to the list of connection methods.

OnHand to the USB port with Window-Eyes see:
