The above information is not displayed in a single message, but sequentially. To move
from one line to the next, you must press [Enter]. Pressing [ESC] after the free memory
has been displayed terminates the function. [ESC] can also be used to terminate the
display at any time. If, for example, you want to see only the data and time, you can press
[ESC] immediately after display of the first line and return to wherever you were working
before you called the function.
The system information function can be called from almost anywhere (editor, file list, etc)
in the Braille System. The only exceptions to this are:
The menu "Clock" and its sub-menus
The menu "Scheduler" and its sub-menus
The menu "Info"
The system information function is also not available during communication with other
devices (e.g. file transfer) and when a file is being printed.
5.1.8 Options (O)
The options described below are used for customizing your Braille System's features. The
various options are specified by using check boxes or radio buttons contained in the
submenus. You can review additional information regarding check boxes and radio buttons
in chapter 3.3.6 and 3.3.7.
The Options menu is closed as usual by pressing [ESC]. Closing the menu will
automatically save the new settings, so that they will still be in force even when the device
is turned off and then on again. After closing the menu, the Braille System will display
'Saving configuration, please wait!'; however, since saving the configuration usually
takes less than one second, you will normally only notice that the Braille display changes.

This option allows you to toggle between 8 dot Braille (computer Braille) and 6 dot Braille.
The 6 dot representation suppresses dots 7 and 8. Even if you enter text in 8 dot Braille,
e.g., for capitalization, your entries will be saved correctly.
5.1.8.2 hotkeys Activate objects (A)
If this option is active, menu items in the same menu level are activated by their hotkeys.
This means:
In the case of submenus, that the menu items are both selected and immediately
opened by pressing their hotkey.
In the case of check boxes, that they are both selected and toggled.
In the case of radio buttons, that they are both selected and activated.
5.1.8.3 Highlight hotkeys (H)
When 'Highlight hotkeys' is active, the hotkeys are highlighted by being enclosed in
round brackets, as in the titles in this section. This is useful while you are working in 6 dot
Braille or while you are still learning the hotkeys.
5.1.8.4 exchange Reading keys (R)
This feature is only available on the Braille Wave. Exchanging the reading keys is useful if
the Braille System is being used by a left-handed operator. When this option is activated,
