Here is a little more about the visual display, but can be found in the manual under the Hardware Section, 2. Embossing and printing using the infrared port is described in Section 6.7.6. To communicate with a remote visual display using the infrared connection, an IrDA compatible port is needed on the PC. The JET EYE PC is an accessory that provides such a port. It is designed for use in conjunction with a PC or a lap top computer, plugging into a serial port on the host computer. Terminal software running on the PC enables the PC's screen to display output from the infrared port of the BrailleNote. This provides a sighted teacher with a text display matching the BrailleNote display. Using BrailleNote's infrared port to communicate with a remote visual display is described in Section 2.15.4. IrDA compatible infrared communications work over a distance of up to at least three feet (1 meter) for standard power devices and up to at least eight inches (200 millimeters) for low power devices. The BrailleNote is a standard power device. The host's and BrailleNote's infrared ports must face each other but they do not have to be lined up exactly because the infrared beam is quite wide. After a little experimentation, you will be able to determine the most convenient arrangement of equipment that works reliably. hth
