Thanks Evelyn. I guess this tells me it isn't a universal issue. The trouble is that there are so many settings that can differ from one user to another. Heck, it could depend on whether you leave wireless turned on(which I don't) or have speech turned on (which, again, I don't). I pretty universally have a memory card inserted, and that could influence how the Apex comes up. Wish I could pin this down. The one good thing is that I know how to fix the issue easily and quickly; it's just annoying.
Thanks, Jerry evelyn weckerly <[email protected]> 02/24/2011 02:06 PM To [email protected], [email protected] cc Subject re: [Braillenote] An Issue Regarding Keyboard Behavior After TakingApex BT off Wall Outlet Power Hi, Jerry, That's weird. I've never had that happen. Usually though I don't turn it on to use it right after unplugging it. I'm usually wanting to move it somewhere else to use it. Still, I don't ever recall that happen to me when I have started it after unplugging it.

For me, this one has been present since I bought my Apex BT a year ago, and I can't believe I haven't mentioned it before. I wonder if others have noticed it. It may not always happen, but it often does. 1. Plug your Apex into a wall outlet overnight to give it a full charge. 2. Pull the power from the Apex and wait a while for it to finish its display about the AC adapter not being connected. Note that I typically have speech turned off, so I just get the braille display. 3. Turn on your Apex. Try hitting w to bring up the word processor or b to bring up the book reader. Nothing happens. Actually, what often happens for me is that I turn on the Apex and quickly type space with o, c, w. This is supposed to get me to where I can turn wireless on or off, but I get the stopwatch instead. I have discovered that if I now turn the Apex off and then turn it on again while holding down dot 8, the keyboard behavior returns to normal 100% of the time. Have others noted this, and is it one of those annoyances that would be really nice to have fixed?
