My guess is that you don't know the right code to put in to get the
Braillino pared.
Here is the secret you probably need to know.
Let's say your serial number on the back of your unit is 12345, as an
example. You take the number in the first position which is a 1 in this
case and add 1, then whatever the number is in the second place, which is 2
here and you add two to that number, in the third position you add 3 to
whatever the number is in the third position, add 4 to whatever number is in
the fourth position, and add 5 to whatever number is in the fifth position.
So, if the serial number really was 1234 then the number you would enter in
the Mac to pear your unit would be: 24680
The reason for the 0 in the last place is since the adding of 5 and 5 gets
10 and you drop the 1 and enter the 0.
So, for one more example: if your serial were: 26487 then the number you
would enter would be: 38722
Try that and see if it works for you.

Hi Anne:'It doesn't much matter what I think about the list.:)
But, I'm getting exactly nowhere. I'm struggling to read the ***PDF manual,
page by page, and haven't found the pairing instructions yet. What I saw
so far, according to my mac, the braillino is supposed to get the code
entered. Guess I'm hopelessly confused until I read a whale of a lot more,
or get some training from HT.
Anyhow, thanks for trying. It's much appreciated.

Hello Carolyn,
I don't know whether it made any difference, but I tried to add my
Braillino in the Braille category of VoiceOver Utility but, although it
saw the Braillino, I couldn't pair them. That was when I went to System
Preferences where I had the opportunity to put in the code.
You don't need that USB thing, it's just for PCs that don't have
BlueTooth. You don't need that serial to USB cable either.
It's getting late here in France, but I should be up for another hour or
so if I can be of any further help.
If you think this is getting too much for the list, e-mail me privately
and I'll try to help further.
Cheers,
Anne
