First of all, Terry, if you will read this section for now, then
look up Section two in the manual, this information will be here.
As I looked at this section, I made note of something. There was
a mention made of how data is lost. This part, I will put in
parenthesis, because I think it will answer the losing data
questions.
Place the BrailleNote BT in front of you with the keyboard
oriented as you would use it. The many sockets and connectivity
ports are arranged around the sides and back of the BrailleNote
BT. Starting from the front of the left side, and working around
to the back, you will find: The small record button, the audio
output socket for earphones, the audio input socket for a
microphone, the power switch and the recessed reset button.
Reach beyond the keyboard to the back of your BrailleNote BT and
investigate the layout of the back of your BrailleNote BT. From
the left there is the small round AC Adapter socket. Keep moving
to the right and you will notice that the bottom half of the back
is recessed. This is a metal panel that holds most of the ports.
They are recessed to protect them from being easily knocked. The
first port in this panel is the USB client port above an SD card
slot. Moving right from there is the CompactFlash slot, a 9 pin
serial port, two horizontal USB host ports, one above the other,
and a modem jack. On the far right, back on the casing again,
there is an infrared port set between two slightly raised
vertical ridges. Down the right side of the unit, you will find
the PCMCIA card slot. This has a recessed ejector button on the
side furthest from you. Each of these ports is discussed in more
detail directly following this section. (Please note that if you
inadvertently or deliberately remove a card or a plug from the
BrailleNote BT while it is active, that is while data is being
passed through the connection, it may result in a loss of data,
an error message, or even in some cases, corruption of the file
or software.)
2.3.1 Audio Sockets. On the left side of the unit, there is a
microphone input socket, an audio output socket and a record
button. The microphone input socket takes a high impedance
electret microphone with a 3.5mm plug. There is also a built in
microphone. The audio output socket is stereo and works with
most head or earphones with a 3.5mm plug. It will also connect
to a set of mini speakers, as used with a PC. Remember that
these will also need to be plugged in to a wall socket. 2.3.2
USB Client Port. The USB client port is located above the SD
card slot on the left hand end of the back recessed panel. It is
a completely different shape to the USB host ports, being small
and shaped a little like a miniature 9 pin port set flush into
the panel. It is oriented so that the wider side is facing up,
just like the 9 pin serial port. The primary purpose of this
port is to connect your BrailleNote BT to a PC via ActiveSync.
For details on how to do this, refer to 13.14.5 ActiveSync using
USB.
