[nabs-l] Apex as Braille Display

[helga.schreiber26 at gmail.com]

Hi Mikayla, this is Helga. I just wanted to tell you that in order to 
connect your Apex to your iPad, you need to do these steps.
1. On the braillenote, go to the options menu.
2. Go to the connectivity menu.
3. Press B for bluetooth. Make sure bluetooth is turned on.
4. When the braillenote says, "Search for devices," DO NOT press
Y for yes. Instead, exit to the main menu and press T for braille
terminal. Make sure the braille terminal port is bluetooth, not
USB.
5. On the iPhone, go to settings/general/accessability/VoiceOver.
Flick right until you see Braille. Then go to Choose a Braille
Device. The iPhone should find your braillenote. When it asks for
a pin, type 0000 really fast because it's on a time limit. Then,
press the pair button and you should be good to go.
These are actually steps in order to connect the BrailleNote to the iPhone, 
but I think the iPhone and the iPad are the same kind of device. Hope this 
helps! Thanks and God bless!! :)
P.S. Don't forget to press the enter key when you come to the Braille 
Terminal Port. Thanks again! ;)

Hi Mikayla,

I appologize in advance for this only being semi-helpful.  I believe there 
is a command you first need to enter on the Apex, but I can’t remember what 
that is.  Hopefully someone will answer that part.  Once you’re in the mode 
to use it as a braille display, on your phone, do the following.

1. Go to settings, General, Accessibility, Voiceover, Braille.
2. Swipe right until you hear “Choose braille display”.  You will then see 
your Apex listed.  Double tap on that and, I think you should be good.  I 
don’t have an Apex, so I’m kind of going off the top of my head here, but as 
I recall, that is the procedure.  Hopefully someone can confirm that as well 
as supply the proper command to put the Apex in, for lack of a better term, 
pair mode.

Ryan
