Re: an orbit reader/iPhone question
Thank you s much, Karen. Someone else on the list suggested turning the Orbit Reader Plus on first. It worked. I will be using this unit mostly when traveling. But I wanted a smaller and more compact unit And Hims Inc. stopped making the best Braille display ever by discontinuing the BRAILLEEdge 40. I love Braille and the Orbit's a neat little devicedd Peace & Blessings, Pastor Duane L.

Re: an orbit reader/iPhone question
With each display I have had, I always turn the display on first, and then the iPhone. I haven't encountered this problem until I recently decided I wanted a smaller display for carrying with me to use my phone. With the Orbit reader, the sleep mode feature's a good idea for instant use. However, when the Reader's off overnight, or, when I shut it off completely, it may, when turning on, say it's connected, but it doesn't work. The Orbit research people merely remind me to do what's in the manual, and, with regard to it recognizing the iPhone's connection, they just say forget the device and re-pair it. Your suggestion's a good one. Thanks. > On Feb 25, 2022, at 2:21 PM, 'Harry Bell' via VIPhone > wrote: > > Before turning the Braille display off or on, it is vital to lock the iPhone > screen.
