5.1.8.9 Startup mode (S)
Startup mode determines what the Braille System will do after it starts up in firmware
mode. The startup mode options are provided in the form of radio buttons. One of the four
possible settings described below is always active.
5.1.8.9.1 Main menu (M)
After start up, the Braille System opens the main menu. From here, you can manually
navigate to the various submenus. This setting represents the classic Braille System
operation.
5.1.8.9.2 autonew (N)
This option makes use of the Braille System's capability to automatically open a new,
empty file within the Editor immediately upon startup in firmware mode. This option comes
in handy if you frequently use the Braille System for entering notes in a new file after
switching it on.
5.1.8.9.3 autoedit (E)
This option activates the Braille System's capability to automatically open the most
recently closed file in the Editor upon startup in firmware mode. After opening the file, the
cursor will be at the same position it was at when the file was closed. Please note that this
option will not open the file that was last opened, but the file that was last edited and
saved.
This option is the most useful one if you frequently use the Braille System to make notes in
the same, already existing file after switching it on.
5.1.8.9.4 PC mode (P)
This feature enables the Braille System to automatically activate its PC Mode after starting
up in firmware mode, so that the display is immediately available to a screen reader, this is
similar to manually activating the menu item PC mode.
You cannot utilize the System's internal functions, such as the Editor, until you have
switched back to internal mode. You can reactivate internal mode by pressing [SPC+1 3 4]
(Chord m) for about half a second.
5.1.8.9.5 Calculator (C)
This option activates the ability of the Braille System to automatically start the calculator
function when it is switched on in firmware mode. We recommend using this option if you
plan to use the Braille System primarily for calculations in the near future.
5.1.8.10 Tone signals (T)
The Braille System generates a range of sounds in certain operational conditions in order
to alert the user unmistakably to successes, errors, or critical situations. Depending upon
the user's experience, or the location in which the Braille System is being used (e.g.,
seminar room, commuter train), these sounds may be inconvenient or even annoying. The
Braille System therefore features various levels of sound outputs.
