[blindkid] blindkid Digest, Vol 122, Issue 14

[Pui]

Thanks, that's interesting the first few pairings are more difficult. Today, the unit is going back to APH so they can take a look at it. Looking forward to getting it back and having it work per the instructions. Just shows that technology is great, but it's always good to have the basics on hand too....

> We just got the APH Refreshabraille18 for our son, and trying to pair it with our iPad iOS 7. We followed the print instructions with it, as well as followed tutorials on YouTube. We did try to pair it via Bluetooth under accessibility/voice over/Braille. It locates the device and is able to stay connected for one second and then disconnects. We went to the Apple store and they could not pair it either. We are thinking that it's an issue with the Refreshabraille. Any one have ideas? We did contact APH.
