Getting Started
Welcome to your new Mantis Q40 keyboard. This keyboard is
both a standard QWERTY keyboard and a refreshable braille
display in one device.
This user guide provides instructions for orientation, usage,
navigation, and updating of the device. For more information
please refer to the Mantis Q40 product page on the APH
website or call APH Customer Service at 1(800) 223-1839.

The box contains the following items:
• Mantis Q40 keyboard
• Protective case (TPU)
• Print and Braille Getting Started Guides
• USB power adapter
• USB-A to USB-C recharge cable
Orientation of Mantis Q40
The Mantis has a 40-cell Braille display, a standard QWERTY
keyboard, a Home button, and four Thumb keys for
navigation. There are buttons and ports on the front, back,
and left edges.
Top Face
The top face of the Mantis can be divided into two sections:
front and rear.
The front section consists of a refreshable braille display
containing 40 braille cells and 40 cursor routing buttons. Each
cursor routing button is associated with the cell directly below
it.
8
When editing text, pressing one of the cursor routing buttons
moves the editing cursor to the associated braille cell. For
any other instance, pressing any cursor button activates a
selected item.
The rear section includes a standard computer QWERTY
keyboard.
Front Edge
On the front edge of the Mantis are five buttons. From left to
right, the buttons are as follows:
• Previous thumb key
• Left thumb key
• Home button (circular shape) – used to return to the Main
menu or exit Terminal mode
• Right thumb key
• Next thumb key
Left Edge
On the left edge, from front to back are the following:
• USB-A port
• Power button – press and hold this button for 2 seconds
to turn the device ON
• Green LED – visually indicates the status of the device
• USB-C port – use the cable that came with your Mantis to
connect the Mantis to a power outlet or a PC
Rear Edge
The rear edge only contains an SD card port located near the
left edge of the device. This port allows you to insert SD cards
for external storage.
9
Bottom Side
In each corner underneath your Mantis are four anti-slip pads.
In the middle, closer to the front edge is a slightly indented
rectangle with a different texture. In this rectangle is a sticker
containing printed hardware information about your Mantis.
Above the sticker, there is a braille label containing the serial
number of your device.
Towards the back left of the device is the battery
compartment. It is closed and secured with two Phillips
screws.

Starting with the top row (furthest away from you), from
left to right, the keys on the Mantis keyboard are laid out as
follows:
Row 1 (top row): Escape, F1 to F12, Delete
Row 2: Grave accent (`), numbers 1 through 9, zero
(0), hyphen (-), equals (=), Backspace
Row 3: Tab, q, w, e, r, t, y, u, I, o, p, [ (left bracket), ]

Charging Mantis Q40
Prior to using your Mantis, make sure it is charged completely.
Connect the USB-C end of the recharge cable to the USB-C
port located on the left edge of your Mantis. Minimal effort is
required and forcing the connection can damage the cable or
the device.
Connect the USB-A end of the recharge cable to the power
adapter, then plug the power adapter into a power outlet. Use
the provided power adapter for optimal recharge.
Alternatively, you can charge the device using your computer
and the USB-A to USB-C recharge cable, but note that this
method of charging is slower than charging with a power
adapter.
Powering On and Off
The Power button is on the left edge of the Mantis. It is oval-
shaped with a raised dot in the center.
If your device is charged, press and hold the Power button
for approximately 2 seconds to power On the Mantis. There is
a quick vibration and Starting appears on the braille display
along with a tactile loading animation that circles during start-
up.
After a few seconds, the start-up is complete and “editor”
appears on the braille display. Your Mantis is now ready for
use.
To power Off, press and hold the Power button for
approximately 2 seconds. A confirmation message appears on
the braille display. Select Ok by pressing the Previous or Next
thumb key, then press Enter or a Cursor-routing key.
Alternatively, you can follow these steps to power Off the
