System On and Off
2.4.1 Powering On/Off
When you know you won’t be using your BrailleNote Touch for some time, it may be better to turn it off
completely to preserve your battery. To do so, simply press and hold the power button for
approximately 1 second. Your device will announce "Power Off", and give you the option to either
power off or restart. Select power off, then press Enter or a cursor routing key to shut down your device.
Similarly, to start your device when it is powered off, press and hold the power button for approximately
3 seconds. You will feel a quick vibration and see “Starting KeySoft” on your Braille display after about 8
seconds. After some time, you will be directed to the unlock screen. Simply select Unlock with your
thumb keys and unlock your device with ENTER or by pressing one of the cursor routing keys.
Note: If typing on the touchscreen, you must do a finger recognition on your virtual keyboard before
unlocking your screen with ENTER. To start finger recognition, simply put your ten fingers on the screen
until you feel a short vibration. A quick way to unlock your Touch is with the SPACE with U keyboard
shortcut on the lock screen.
Note: On some occasions, you may feel a long vibration instead of a short vibration when completing
finger recognition on your keyboard. This means that your BrailleNote Touch was unable to recognize
your fingers. When this occurs, simply lift your fingers so they are no longer touching the screen and try
restarting finger recognition.
2.4.2 Standby mode
The BrailleNote Touch gives you the possibility to put your device in standby mode. Standby mode is a
quick and easy way to preserve the battery when you only want to stop using your BrailleNote Touch for
a short period. Standby mode is the most common state the BrailleNote Touch will be in on a daily basis
when not being used.
