DESCRIPTION OF ESYS

On the left-hand side, from back to front (Braille line facing user and buttons facing upwards):

Mini standard USB connection, for power supply connection or connect esys to a PC

A small round ridge with a hole in its centre enabling to reset the device with a straightened paper

clip. This should be carried out exceptionally and only if the device is not responding to a soft reset

using the on/off button.

On the right-hand side, from back to front:

A stand-by button (on/off function)

A horizontal slot for micro SD-card

To turn the device on, simply press the stand-by button. The Braille display will now show the main

menu options. If this does not occur, the battery is empty; and it is recommended that the esys

12/24/40/64/80 is connected to its power supply for immediate use.

NOTE: esys charges through USB when connected to a PC and it is not necessary to use power

supply.

On the upper side of esys the following keys are located:

Braille keyboard keys reading left to right: KEY 7 3,2,1,4,5,6,8

Braille line – 12/24/40/64/80 cells

Cursor routing keys located above the Braille line – 12/24/40/64/80

Below the Braille line: left button = Braille key backspace (9) right button = Braille key space (A)

esys comes with two 5 contact-joystick keys located on each side of the Braille display (left, right,

up, down and middle). Each of them will be referred to as <LJ> (left joystick key) and <RJ> (right

joystick key).

esys has between 2 and 6 wheels with three contact points (right, left and middle) depending on if

it has 12 to 80 Braille cells. All wheels have the same function regardless of which wheel you are

using. In this manual, these wheels are referred to as <W>

28/02/2011 4/48

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

The Lithium-Ion battery included inside the device allows for up to 20 hour continuous use

depending on model; recharging time is up to four hours; you can recharge esys using the included

USB cable and a normal electronic socket OR the USB port of a PC. esys does not have an on/off

button but a stand-by mode in which it can remain for up to 10 days.

You will not need to go through a full discharge of the device before recharging it again. Recharging

starts automatically as soon as esys is connected to its battery block, whether it is in sleep-mode

or not; charging will take slightly longer if esys is used simultaneously (PC USB charge).

NOTE: When esys is reset, it automatically starts in Braille line test mode.

The USB connector can only be connected one way. Using force may heavily damage the connector.

Insert/removal of the SD-card should be carried out gently. The SD-card slot has an auto-locking

mechanism, you just need to press, and then release it in order to unlock the card. To lock the SD-

card into the device, you have to insert it a bit further than its original locking position and then let

go of the card. The SD-card side with a notch should be oriented to the front of the device.

The SD-card should not be removed while the device is in use, as this may cause damage to open

files. To remove the SD-card, you first need to close any open files in the note-taker directory then

toggle to sleep-mode. As a result, the pins of the Braille display will erase partially and the device

enters sleep-mode. It is now safe to remove the SD-card.

Connecting esys via USB or Bluetooth to a computer enables it to run in combination with screen

reading software such as Jaws, Windows Eyes, HAL, SuperNova and Cobra.

You can also connect esys via Bluetooth to a mobile phone featuring Talks, Mobile Speak, Mobile

Accessibility or VoiceOver (Apple), or to a PDA (via Bluetooth) with Mobile Speak Pocket or Pocket

HAL.

ESYS MAIN MENU

This part explains esys main features; .menu navigation, the edit box principle, navigates while in a

tree folder structure and the main shortcuts.

QUICK START-BASIC INFORMATION

NOTE: esys has its own operating system and can work independently without any other device. It

can also work in combination with computers or mobile phones. For advanced users, the structure of

esys is comparable to the DOS operating system.

Click twice centrally on the left joystick <LJ>opens the main menu.

In the main menu, application menus and sub-menus, the principle consists of an horizontal

navigation through several items.

To access an application menu, press centrally on the Left Joystick <LJ>, this displays the application

menu. The left joystick acts like the context menu button of a keyboard.

When the wheel <W> is moved towards the right, the Braille line will move to the next

12/24/40/64/80 characters. When it is moved to the left, the Braille line will move to the previous

12/24/40/64/80 characters. Moving wheels only has influence on the content of the cells of the

Braille line and not the device cursor itself.

The cursor of your esys is represented by blinking dots 7 and 8 in the cell where the cursor is

located.

The 2 methods of navigation are described below:

Cursor routing method:

This is the most common method used because it is fast. It consists of “read and click” to enter a

menu item. In the main menu, the following line is written: “Bluetooth USB Notepad Diary etc...” and

when the cursor routing key above any of the letters in the word “notepad”, is pressed, the notepad

application is opened.

In order to display all menu items you have to use the wheels below the Braille line to scroll through

the options (X characters by X characters according to your esys model).

You can move back to a previous menu item when navigating in a sub-menu by using the following

example:

When entered into the diary application and then the diary menu, “dry:goto delete view T” will be

displayed on esys. If one of the cursor routing keys above one of the 3 characters composing the

prefix “dry” is pressed, you will be returned into the diary application.

This kind of hierarchy also works while navigating within folders such as in the “save as” or “file

manager” function (for further information, refer to the notepad section).

NOTE: You can also validate a choice or make a confirmation inside a menu by pressing Enter key (9A

keyboard combination). The hotkey letter of menu items is indicated on the Braille line by dot 7.

Joystick method:

Use the joysticks for navigation instead of the cursor routing keys.

NAVIGATION:

28/02/2011 7/48

The Right hand Joystick (RJ) acts like the 4 arrows of a keyboard while using the 4 directions. When

clicking centrally on this joystick it will act on a focused item like the enter button of a keyboard or

the double left click of a computer mouse.

The item displayed at the beginning of the line will be focused. For instance, if the following line is

displayed:

“goto delete view T”and you press the right hand joystick centrally , you enter the “goto” menu.

If the following is displayed: “delete view T”and you press on the joystick, you enter the “delete”

menu.

In order to move back to a previous menu when navigating in a sub-menu, proceed the same way as

in the “cursor routing method” above.

NOTE: to choose among items move the right joystick forward and backward to shift the cursor from

one element to another. The prefix disappears while moving from item to item, in order to display it

again, use one of the wheels to the left direction until the beginning of the menu. The prefix will be

shown at the very beginning of the line.

In certain cases it is necessary to modify edit boxes. The symbol ”<” at the beginning means the edit

box is changeable. The ”>” symbol means the edit box is locked. To switch between the 2 symbols

press the cursor routing key above the symbol or press on the right joystick when at the beginning of

the item including the edit box.

For instance, when “name<Esys-Serial Port Device pin>0000 ok cancel” is displayed, it means you are

ready to change the name of your esys.

NOTE: In certain cases, some part of an edit box cannot be erased. In the example above, “Esys-“ is

not changeable but only the characters after this word.

When an edit box is opened, the default name is selected (represented blinking dot 7 and 8). In the

example above, as soon as you enter the edit box, “-Serial Port Device” will be selected. If you type a

letter at this moment, all the selected characters will be erased and replaced by the one you just

typed.

Once the new name entered, move to the next menu element and repeat the steps above.

To open or edit a file or folder, first located it on the Micro-SD card. To do so:

The root of the card is called “sdcard”. In this root, additional folders can be added directly from your

esys (for further information, refer to the “file manager” section), or by your PC via the Explorer.

To open a file located within a folder, you must select the folder and click on it. As an example; if you

have a folder located at the root of the card called “transport” which contains 3 files named “truck”,

“plane” and “car” and you want to open or edit the “plane” file the procedure is as follows:

“sdcard>d,transport” means your cursor is placed in a position to open the “transport” folder. To

open this folder click on “transport” and “sdcard\transport>f,plane” will be displayed. To navigate

from one file to another in the “transport” folder, move the right joystick upwards or downwards.

Once the correct file is displayed move to the ok item and click on it.

If you want to return to the source folder level click on the cursor routing located above the letters

corresponding to the desired source folder. The cursor will then be placed inside this folder:

NAVIGATE WHILE IN A TREE FOLDER STRUCTURE:

28/02/2011 8/48

If sdcard\transport>f,plane is displayed, pressing over one of the sdcard characters will open the

root level.

NOTE: the “f” letter of “f,plane” means plane is a file type and the “d” of “d,transport” means that

transport is a folder.

The four directions (up, down, left, right) of the Left hand Joystick are used in combination with

actions on the Right Joystick or navigation wheels to create shortcuts; for example, by using the LEFT

direction of the Left Joystick and pushing on the wheels towards the left, you will go back to the

beginning of a line in the notepad application. Please find a list of navigation shortcuts below:

esys

HOW TO USE ESYS VIA USB CONNECTION

To use esys in this mode, make sure the micro-SD card is correctly inserted and connect USB cable

to esys and to PC. Once the device is recognized, you will be able to directly interact with the

micro-SD Card on your esys via your PC explorer. You can organize your files and folders and put

*.txt, *.brf and *.brl files on it.

NOTE: this mode can be disabled via the main menu. To do so, refer to “USB key” section.

Remove the micro-SD card from the slot before connecting the USB cable to your computer (do not

take this procedure into account if “USB key” option is disabled). The first time you connect the

device, your operating system will automatically recognize the device and set up the driver.

To interact seamlessly, it is necessary to install an esys driver for the screen reader used on the

computer to which esys is connected.

Before installing any driver disconnect the device and follow the procedure described in the driver

set up. Then go to http://www.eurobraille.com/index.php?lg=uk&page=download-

uk&title=download to install the correct driver according for your screen reader software.

After the correct driver is installed, connect the USB cable delivered with esys to the PC. Go to

“USB” menu (for further information, refer to as the “USB” section) of your esys. The following can

be read on the Braille line: “usb cable connected” if the synchronization is established. Otherwise,

“usb cable disconnected” will be read. If the synchronization is established launch the screen reader.

NOTE: esys will automatically switch on when connected to a PC via USB. In order to switch it off

(that is to put it in SLEEP mode), you will need to disconnect the USB cable and press the on/off

button.

While esys is connected, the battery is charged at the same time and NO wall socket connection is

necessary.
