Safety Precautions
For your safety from the Braille Sense U2 MINI, 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 MINI 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 MINI, you should make sure the battery is fully charged. When
you use the Braille Sense U2 MINI 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 MINI from has already done this for you.
3. When you use the Braille Sense U2 MINI 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 MINI to the AC
adapter for about six hours with turn on. If you want to use the
Braille Sense U2 MINI 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.
5. When you are using the Braille Sense U2 MINI 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 MINI 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 MINI needs to be handled with care. The
Braille Sense U2 MINI is a very delicate machine. You should
make sure to handle the unit in a proper manner. Also, the Braille
Sense U2 MINI is very sensitive to dust. Make sure to keep the
Braille Sense U2 MINI 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 MINI from for support.
8. You will need to register your Braille Sense U2 MINI 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
MINI product from for help.
9. Do not take apart the Braille Sense U2 MINI by yourself. Do not
have anyone else who is not authorized by HIMS take apart the
Braille Sense U2 MINI. If an unqualified person disassembles the
unit, serious damage may occur to the Braille Sense U2 MINI. If
an unauthorized person disassembles the Braille Sense U2 MINI,
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 MINI remain for a long time at the
closed or high temperature places like inside of car, the battery
attached to the Braille Sense U2 MINI may be defected or fired.
So please don’t keep your Braille Sense U2 MINI 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

suggestions you have for our product.

II. How to use this manual
Before using the Braille Sense U2 MINI, you should read the entire
manual to familiarize yourself with the functions of the Braille Sense U2
MINI. Reading the entire manual will allow you to operate the Braille
Sense U2 MINI to its fullest potential. The Braille Sense U2 MINI 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 MINI.
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 MINI. 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 MINI, 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 MINI 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 MINI,
