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>
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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all of these safety instructions before using esys .
* Do not place esys on an unstable surface.
* Do not place esys near a radiator or heat source.
* Do not block or cover slots and openings in esys main housing; do not insert objects other than compatible micro SD-cards into the micro-SD-card slot.
* Use only the wall socket charger and USB cable delivered with esys.
* Connect all equipment to properly grounded electrical outlets. 
* Do not use frayed or damaged cords or cables.
* Unplug esys before cleaning it; always clean it with a piece of damp cloth only. Do not use detergents.
* Do not spill liquid into esys.
* Except as specifically explained in the user's manual, do not attempt to service esys by yourself.
* Do not open the device if you haven’t followed Eurobraille repairing training .It would break the warranty of the device.
* Detach esys from power source and refer to a certified service center under the following conditions:
If the power cord or USB cable or connector is damaged
If liquid has entered esys
If esys has been dropped and the main housing or Braille line is visibly damaged

INTERNATIONAL REGULATIONS COMPLIANCE
* esys is CE compliant, and works according to the following international norms :  NFEN60950 (security) and EN55022 Class B edition 1994 (electro-magnetic compatibility).
* esys power supply adaptor supports Class 2 power limitation. If you need to replace the power supply adaptor, this can only be done using a power supply adaptor with identical technical features. In case of power supply failure, it is strongly recommended to contact Eurobraille or your local distributor representative. 
* The stand-by button does not replace the power tension cut-off system. As a result, when the power supply adaptor is connected to an electronic socket, the battery is recharging, even if the device is in sleep-mode. In order to cut off power supply, the device must be disconnected from the main power source. Always make sure to have easy access to an electronic (wall) socket. 


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.
NAVIGATION:
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. 
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.
EDIT BOX PRINCIPLE:
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.
NAVIGATE WHILE IN A TREE FOLDER STRUCTURE:
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:
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.

MAIN MENU SHORTCUTS:
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:

HOW TO USE ESYS VIA USB CONNECTION
STORAGE MODE:
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.
BRAILLE DEVICE FOR SCREEN READER MODE:
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.


HOW TO USE ESYS CONNECTED VIA BLUETOOTH 
Begin with synchronizing your esys with the target device (computer or cellphone).
To activate the Bluetooth connection on your esys just go inside the Bluetooth menu. The Bluetooth of your esys will automatically switch on.
“Bluetooth disconnected” can be read on the Braille line. It means that the Bluetooth interface of your esys is activated and other Bluetooth devices can search for it.
NOTE: When you turn your esys on, Bluetooth is not turned on. To start emitting signal, opening the Bluetooth application is necessary.
SYNCHRONISATION WITH COMPUTERS:
With the help of the Bluetooth toolbox on the computer, execute a search for devices; you should find the esys as a Bluetooth device; then, you have to pair your PC and esys. Note the COM port number provided by your Bluetooth utility, this will be useful for screen reader settings. Once your esys is detected, enter the PIN code if one is required (the PIN code is by default ”0000”). For further information refer to the section concerning “identification” below.
SYNCHRONISATION WITH MOBILE PHONES:
You can use the Bluetooth connection of esys to connect it to your mobile phone; this will work with Symbian phones equipped with Talks and Windows Mobile, Symbian phones equipped with Mobile Speak and Iphone.
Once the connection is established, “Bluetooth connected” can be read on the Braille line. 


ESYS FUNCTIONALITIES
In this section, the main menu items will be described: 
“esys:bluetooth usb notepad diary calculator alarm-clock tools T”
BLUETOOTH MENU 
This menu allows the user to set Bluetooth parameters and to activate/deactivate the Bluetooth connection.
Open the Bluetooth menu, “bluetooth disconnected” can be read on the Braille line. As soon as the Bluetooth menu item is opened, the Bluetooth connection becomes enabled even if you go back to the main menu without pairing with another device.
To set Bluetooth parameters open the Bluetooth menu. The following can be read:
“bth:off identifier T”
NOTE: if the Bluetooth application is entered while connected to another device, it is possible to disconnect the Bluetooth connection between esys and the other device. “bth:disconnected T” can be read on the Braille line. Select “disconnected” and the pairing between esys and the other device is interrupted: “successful operation ok T” will be displayed.
ON/OFF
Use this menu item to switch on or off the Bluetooth connection. 
You will mostly be using this menu item to disable the Bluetooth connection if you accidentally activated the Bluetooth connection, or if you don’t want your esys to be visible anymore for other devices or in order to stop the current connection between esys and another device. Click “off” to deactivate the Bluetooth connection: “disabled” will be displayed. If you want to reactivate it, re-open Bluetooth menu and select “on”. This time: “disconnected” will be displayed on your Braille line. It means that the esys Bluetooth signal is sending and is ready to be paired.
IDENTIFIER
This menu item opens a submenu allowing you to change the name, PIN code or reset factory settings of the Bluetooth connection. The following will be written:
“idt:name>Esys-BT18 pin>0000 ok cancel re store factory settings T”
The “name” edit box allows you to give a name to your Esys Bluetooth interface. This is the name by which the esys will be identified as a Bluetooth device and which will appear on your mobile phone or PC. The prefix “esys-” will always remain in the name, since this is the tag that enables phone screen readers to identify esys as a Braille device. After changing the name, you will need to synchronise again with the mobile phone in order to see changes. Type the identification name of your Esys by using the edit box principle. 
The “pin” dialog box enables you to change the personal pin code you will need when synchronising your Esys with your PC or mobile phone. Type the new pin code composed of 4 digits.
Once modifications are made, click on “ok” to validate your choice or select “cancel”.
The “restore factory settings” item will restore the default values of the Bluetooth interface. The following question will be asked:
“info:Do you want to restore factory settings of your Bluetooth adapter? yes no T”
Click on “yes” to confirm the procedure or select “no” to cancel.

USB MENU

This menu item allows the user to switch from esys internal functions to the screen reader software. When this item is selected: “usb cable connected” will be displayed if the USB cable is connected and “usb cable disconnected...” if not. If you navigate away from this menu, the internal application of esys will be prioritized even while connected to a computer using screen reader software.


NOTEPAD MENU 
The note taking application of your esys will enable you to easily type text without being connected to a computer. 
Technical notes: There is one limitation to how you type in text; you can only type paragraphs up to 6 kB of length; you will need to type ENTER (creating a new paragraph) in order to continue typing. Similarly, if you open a text on your esys which contains paragraphs of more than 6 kB additional paragraphs will be created to respect this 6 kB limitation. 
In order to use the notepad, you will need to have a micro-SD memory card in the card slot. Temporary files will be created on the micro-SD card as you edit your document; as long as you do not save your document, additional temporary files will be created; we recommend that you save your document frequently enough so that the creation of those temporary files does not end up slowing down your system. 
esys includes a data retrieval program that will allow you to retrieve the data of a document even if the micro-SD card has been removed or esys has been rebooted. You will only loose the information that was modified and not saved in the last paragraph, not the document. However you should only remove the micro-SD card after the file(s) has been properly closed (see “close” menu for more details).
If you use esys connected via USB to a computer, remove the SD card before connecting the USB cable and then insert the micro-SD card in the slot. If you do not, the note taking application will not be launched and “info:Unable to load application, disconnect USB cable” can be read on the Braille line. If you want to avoid this message while connected to a PC, see disable the “USB key” option in the “tools” section for more details).

APPENDIX 2: TALKS FUNCTIONS
SETTINGS WITH TALKS
Install Talks on your mobile phone and activate Bluetooth. In order to install Talks for the first time, you will need access to a computer with the PC Nokia Suite Software (which is normally distributed to you along with your phone). Depending on your phone, double click on one of the esys files (visit www.eurobraille.com for a list of supported mobile phones). It is recommended that you chose to install the driver on the external memory card of the phone; you will have to go through a series of dialog boxes to finish the installation procedure. 
In case PC Nokia Suite is not installed on your computer, you can right click on one of the esys files and send to Bluetooth and finally chose your phone. In this case, the driver will be sent to your phone’s Inbox. You will then have to open that message on your phone and follow the installation procedure. 
When the installation procedure is completed, begin by making sure that the date and time is correct in the phone. Proceed by going to configuration menu in Talks, tab Braille and select the correct Braille table. Deactivate Braille 6 dots (make sure that 8 dot Braille is used). 
NOTE: Before proceeding, turn OFF Braille option in Talks using "[Talk]+[Hang up]"
Proceed by pairing the mobile phone and esys.
Chose the « Bluetooth » mode on esys; by going into the Bluetooth menu (by clicking on LJ); then activate the “identifier” menu and note the name of the adapter and the PIN Code number. Then go back to the main menu and select Bluetooth Mode again. 
Adjust settings on the phone:
Synchronise your esys with the mobile phone; to do that, you need to go in the Bluetooth menu of your phone and ask it to add a Device; switch on the Bluetooth connection on your phone. In the list of devices that you will see, you should have the esys identifier you noted earlier; select it and type in your PIN code (PIN Code is 0000 by default). 
You can now use your esys in conjunction with your phone.  If you want to toggle between “No Braille” and “Braille esys”, you can use the shortcut [Talks]+[pick up]. You can also do this in the TALKS Menu configuration. 
esys keystroke are noted <control name> ; phone keys are named [key name] like in Talks user guide.
<JL Up> : we will use this expression when we want to move the left joystick upward.
<ML> : it represents the left wheel.
<MD> : it represents the right wheel.
<MCL> and <MCR> central wheels left and right (only for esys40).
When you need to activate simultaneously two different controls on your esys, we will use the «+» symbol: <JL Right> + <JR Up>.
