you are editing documents, you can use these keys to route your cursor to the

character of the corresponding Braille cell. The cursor routing keys also serve as

shortcut keys for navigating lists and groups of fields in certain places on the

unit. A dot is placed on each 5th cursor routing button for easier orientation.

On each side of the Braille display are two capsule shaped keys. These are the

"UP" and "DOWN" scroll keys. The scroll keys are used to scroll the Braille

display through menus, fields, lists or text. You can use the scroll keys to scroll

by display length, paragraph, line, sentence, or character. You can set the left

and right sets of scroll keys independently in the "Global Options". (See chapter

3.)

Near the top center of the unit's top panel, is a liquid crystal display (LCD). The

LCD displays the output of the unit visually so that a sighted person can see

what is shown on the BrailleSense 6. There are also 2 LED indicators to the

right of the LCD. The indicator nearest the LCD shows On/Off status, and the

LED to the right indicates charging status.

Stereo speakers are located on the top left and right corners for audio output.

1.2.2 THE RIGHT PANEL

The Right edge of the BrailleSense 6 contains 3 USB ports, 2 USB C ports with

a USB A port between them. The USB C port nearest the rear of the unit is for

powering and charging the unit, as well as connecting to a PC for use as a

Braille display, to transfer data, or operate the BrailleSense using Android

companion software for Windows. The USB C port nearest the front of the unit

will host other compatible USB C devices as well. To eliminate confusion over

which port offers which functions, Braille letter indicators are placed on the top

of the casing near each port: the letter p for the power and data port, and the

letter v for the host port.
