12. Bluetooth Manager
The Braille Sense Plus B32 is Bluetooth capable. Bluetooth is the
latest in wireless technology that allows for a Personal Area Network
(PAN). Unlike a traditional Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN),
these networks are limited to approximately 30 feet or less. Bluetooth
enables users to exchange various types of information. In order to
use Bluetooth with the Braille Sense Plus B32, you must change the
Bluetooth option to “on” in the option menu. Please refer to the
section 2.4.2.34 in this user manual.
Bluetooth on the Braille Sense Plus B32 allows you to transfer files
from the Braille Sense Plus B32 to a computer, use the Internet
connection your computer is using, or use the Braille Sense Plus B32
as a wireless Braille display. To use the Braille Sense Plus B32 as a
wireless Braille display, you must be running the screen readers;
Window-Eyes, JAWS or Supernova. Please note that Bluetooth is
currently an evolving standard, and you may experience different
functionality, depending on the operating system that you are using.
The Braille Sense Plus B32 uses the built-in Bluetooth Manager
program to allow the user to use the Bluetooth functionality in the
Braille Sense Plus B32. You can access the Bluetooth Manager in
several ways. To access Bluetooth Manager from the Program menu,
you can either press “space-1” or “space-4” until you hear Bluetooth
Manager, or press the “space” until you get to Bluetooth Manager.
When you hear Bluetooth Manager, press “enter” to activate it. Or,
you can press “l (dots 1-2-3)” to open the Bluetooth Manager from the
“program” menu without having to press “enter” on it.

the Bluetooth devices in range, so expect to wait about 30 to 40
