Pairing your

via USB. As soon as you launch Braille Terminal, you will be asked to select how you want to connect to
your device. Select and press ENTER on the option of your choice.
17.2.1 Connecting via Bluetooth
To connect via Bluetooth, select Bluetooth and press ENTER. If Bluetooth was OFF in the Android
settings, it will be turned ON automatically. You can now pair your BrailleNote Touch with the device
you want to use with your Touch. Turn your screen reader on and connect to the BrailleNote using the
Brailliant / BrailleNote Touch Bluetooth name. Once the pairing is complete, you will be ready to use
your BrailleNote Touch display.
Note that often external devices will require you to either, or sometimes on both devices, confirm you
want to make a pairing. Simply confirm this on either the Touch and/or external device.
17.2.2 Connecting via USB
To connect via USB, connect your BrailleNote Touch to the host device using the USB cable. On your
host device, turn on the screen reader of your choice. You are now ready to use your BrailleNote Touch
as a Braille display.
