Safety Precautions
For your safety from the Braille Sense U2, please read safety
precautions carefully.
1. The input voltage of the AC adapter is 100V - 240V, and the
output is DC 5V / 2A.
2. When the Braille Sense U2 is shipped, the battery may be
separate from the unit to avoid damage. The battery may not be
fully charged when it is shipped. Before you use the Braille Sense
U2, you should make sure the battery is fully charged. When you
use the Braille Sense U2 for the first time, you may need to open
the package, take the battery, and insert it into the battery slot at
the rear panel of the unit. It is possible that the dealer or
distributor from whom you purchased the Braille Sense U2 from
has already done this for you.
3. When you use the Braille Sense U2 with the battery for the first
time, the battery status may not be displayed accurately. In order
to avoid this, connect the Braille Sense U2 to the AC adapter for
about six hours with turn on. If you want to use the Braille Sense
U2 immediately after opening the box, you will need to connect
the AC adapter to the unit for more than six hours to fully charge
the battery.
4. If you want or need to take the battery out of the unit, turn the
power off, and then take the battery out of the unit. Before putting
the battery back in to the unit, make certain that the power is off.
There is a risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect
type. Please dispose of used batteries according to the
instructions.
5. When you are using the Braille Sense U2 on battery power only
(without the AC adapter), the status of the remaining battery
power will be announced when the battery power is low. When
the battery’s charge falls below 15 percent, connect the AC
adapter to the unit for recharging. If the remaining battery power
drops to five percent, and the unit is not connected to the AC
adapter, the Braille Sense U2 will shut down one minute after the
announcement of the battery’s status. The amount of battery life
per charge will vary depending on the options you have set.
6. Your Braille Sense U2 needs to be handled with care. The Braille
Sense U2 is a very delicate machine. You should make sure to
handle the unit in a proper manner. Also, the Braille Sense U2 is
very sensitive to dust. Make sure to keep the Braille Sense U2
away from dusty environments.
7. The Braille cells are very sensitive parts. If any of the Braille cells
are not working properly due to dust or any other reason, please
contact our repair center, or the dealer whom you purchased the
Braille Sense U2 from for support.
8. You will need to register your Braille Sense U2 in order to ensure
further maintenance, service, and upgrade information. Please
visit www.hims-inc.com, to register your information. If you have
any trouble when registering your information, please contact the
dealer whom you purchased your Braille Sense U2 product from
for help.
9. Do not take apart the Braille Sense U2 by yourself. Do not have
anyone else who is not authorized by HIMS take apart the Braille
Sense U2. If an unqualified person disassembles the unit, serious
damage may occur to the Braille Sense U2. If an unauthorized
person disassembles the Braille Sense U2, the unit will be
excluded from any free maintenance, and the warranty will
become void. If any liquid or external force damages the unit, it
may also be excluded from free maintenance, even if the damage
occurred during the warranty period.
10. If you let your Braille Sense U2 remain for a long time at the
closed or high temperature places like inside of car, the battery
attached to the Braille Sense U2 may be defected or fired. So
please don’t keep your Braille Sense U2 at those places.
11. If you have any complaints or suggestions, please provide us with
your comments on our website. We will improve our product
based on your comments and suggestions. Thank you for using
the Braille Sense U2, and we value any comments or suggestions
you have for our product.

II. How to use this manual
Before using the Braille Sense U2, you should read the entire manual to
familiarize yourself with the functions of the Braille Sense U2. Reading
the entire manual will allow you to operate the Braille Sense U2 to its
fullest potential. The Braille Sense U2 has many functions. Many of
these functions operate in a similar manner, so it is important to become
familiar with all of the functions of the Braille Sense U2.
You will see references to hot keys and shortcut keys. These keys refer
to ways to access menus and functions quickly by using a combination
of keystrokes. Please note that not all hot keys and shortcut keys will
work while you are in the Braille Sense U2. Some hot keys and shortcut
keys require that you be within a program in order for specific hot keys
and shortcut keys to work.
This user manual uses a specific notation of how to press keys. When
you see “Space-b (dots 1-2),” this means that you would press “Space”
and dots 1 and 2 simultaneously. This is a very important concept to
understand when using this manual.
In order to use the Braille Sense U2, you will need to understand what a
menu is, and how it works. You will also need to understand what a text
box is, and how to type in information in a text box. It is very important
that you completely understand concepts such as this, so that you are
able to use the Braille Sense U2 to its fullest potential.
If you find that you are unable to find a solution to a problem within the
manual, or if you need assistance with the Braille Sense U2, please
