HI Lucy. I don't have one myself, but I don't believe you can reverse the panning buttons. Below, I've pasted the section of the manual that has to do with checking the battery status. Looks like the easiest way to do it is listen to the second set of tones when the Braille Pen starts. There is also a way to find it in the menu, again, see below for details. Anyway, I'm glad the NLS files are now reading correctly. Below is the info from the manual. BraillePen12 sound signals BraillePen12 communicates its status using high-pitched beeps. When you first turn your BraillePen12 on, it give several beeps. First you hear a single short beep to let you know that the BraillePen12 is on. Then you hear a set of beeps to tell you the battery status. The third set of beeps tells you that the BraillePen12's Bluetooth interface is active and can make a connection with another device. The sound for "BraillePen12 on" and the sound for "Bluetooth active" don't change; the battery sounds will change depending on how much charge there is. Here is the full list of battery status beeps: One long beep, pause, three short beeps means that the unit is not connected to the power and the battery is fully charged. One long beep, pause, two short beeps means that the unit is not connected to the power, and the battery is charged to half its capacity. One long beep, pause, one long beep means that the unit is not connected to the power, and that the battery is drained and needs to be recharged immediately. Two mid-length beeps means that the unit is connected to power and the battery is charging, but doesn't report on the state of the battery. Two mid-length beeps, pause, three short beeps means that the unit is on charge, and the battery is already fully charged. BraillePen 12 Touch Settings and Test Menu BraillePen 12 Touch has its own internal menu. It allows you to customize certain settings.To enter this menu, press Space-Control (Enter) within one second after having switched on the BraillePen 12 Touch. To move to the next item in the menu, press Joystick Down; if you press Joystick Up, you will go immediately to the bottom item in the menu, which is exit. Use Joystick Down to step through the menu items. The settings are as follows: Battery indicator Sleep time x minutes Feedback beep Cursor delay Vibrate Cell test Key test Cursors test BT test (Bluetooth test) Firmware version Cbrd run Exit Some items in this menu show only the name on the menu with no parameters. You can go into these items, where you will be able to test your BraillePen 12 Touch, or alter its settings. For these items, press Joystick Enter to enable the settings or perform the test; press Joystick Up or down to alter settings, and press Joystick Enter once more to confirm settings.
