[Ohio-Talk] wifi and BARD set up for the Library for the Blind Braille display

Sun May 8 22:01:26 UTC 2022

Hello Cheryl,
There is something in the Contents titled Wifi. Yet set up Wifi and then go to Bard. I have to get a new password for BARD tomorrow.
I did set up Newsline. You do not use Computer Braille, you use UEB with the number sign followed by numbers in the upper part of the cell, not Nemeth.
When you set up Newsline you also use numbers the same way.
Be sure to press enter when setting up your username and then when prompted your password.
I like having Newsline in Braille because I can read things and know how to spell them.

Where are the directions for getting connected to wifi and BARD on this eReader? Do I need to download an app to my iPhone?
