Subject: [Ohio-Talk] Information on e-reader,

Hello Everyone,
I have been asked to share this information far and wide. 
I spoke with one of the Technical Team for the e-reader today. We had
exchanged a couple of emails and she had shared them with the person in
charge of the e-reader Project.
I will give you some suggestions and I will also share some things which may
help you with the operation of the e-reader.
This will be a long email so please be patient. I do not know any other way
to share this information with all of you. 
When you have trouble with some thing please call the Library for the Blind.
If they cannot answer your questions ask them to file form with the
Technical Department. Do not hesitate to do this. You should also ask to put
on the Listserv for the e-reader. This is a low traffic list but has very
good information.
There is a Quarterly Zoom Meeting which may receive information about via
email. This is not the Listserv, it is something different.
If you do not receive anything in two weeks call the Library back. I have
some information for those who do receive a Response or are not getting
questions answered.
The next answers are for questions I asked. The File Manager and the Book
Manager are the same. Books which are produced in BRF, (braille ready
format) do not have levels. You will need to move by paragraph. You can also
use find, that is, f-chord, dots 1-2-4 with the spacebar pressed together.
The spacebar is referred to as a Chord.
If you want to move in a book you can press j-chord, dots 2-5 with the
spacebar. You can then down arrow with the outer Thumb Key to find the
Navigation Key you want. Press Enter. Then choose the Keystrokes for
theNavigation unit you wish to use. NLS Magazines usually work the same as
books. Newsline Articles are set up differently. Level 3 is for Articles.
When you use the outer thumb key you should be able to go to the next
Article. When you want to read an Article use Inner Thumb Keys to read the
Article. If you want to skip a Section enter j-chord and scroll down to
Level 2. Press Enter and press Outer Thumb Key to skip that section. You
will need to go to Level 3 to read next Article.
If you wish to auto-scroll make sure your Auto-scroll is enabled in
settings. To start Auto-scroll press dots 3-4 chord. That will start
auto-scroll. You will note that this is the ST-SIGN Chord. You can increase
and decrease the Auto-scroll rate.
Please call the Library with your questions first. If they cannot answer
them ask them to file a Report. This report will go to the Technical Team
and you will get a Response. Also please sign up for the listserv.
Be persistent, you have the right to receive the information you request.
If you do not get the answers you need and you contact me I will give you
information so that you can get the Information you need.
I learned this next technique myself. I you are in a book or magazine and
you need to change volumes enter h-chord, dots 1-2-5 chord together. You
will be in a list. Scroll down with the outer thumb key. You will see
volume. Press enter and choose previous or next volume. It really works.
Please be patient. I learned so much today that I would not even consider
returning my device. Remember that there is a Users Guide in your Unit. Also
remember that the Select Button in the middle on the front of your unit is
usually interchangeable with the Enter Button.
Please spread the word. Chapter Presidents please share this information
with those who do not have ohio-talk.
Also for everyone the Technical Team has asked us to be proactive and
proceed as described in this email.
