Hi Lorie:
There is a lot of extraneous information about thumbkeys, but it
begins in the first section.
1.4 Orientation. BrailleNote BT is supplied in a slim line wrap
around leather carry case. To open the case, lift the flap on the
front edge. Fold back the case to allow operation of the
BrailleNote BT. On the front edge of the BrailleNote BT you will
find 4 buttons called thumb keys. Position the BrailleNote BT
with these keys facing you. You can operate the BrailleNote BT
while it is in its carry case. 1.5 Thumb Keys. The four keys
facing you are normally operated by your thumbs so we call them
Thumb keys to differentiate them from the main keyboard keys.
They are used in conjunction with the Braille display when
reading and navigating menus and lists. They can be operated
using your thumbs without moving your fingers from the Braille
display discussed in the next section. The thumb keys can be set
up for left-handed or right-handed operation. You can also create
a custom thumb key set up to suit your personal preference as
discussed in 5.4.15 Thumb Key Set. The factory setting is
right-handed. The thumb keys are named as follows: PREVIOUS,
BACK, ADVANCE and NEXT. In the right-handed configuration the key
functions are assigned from left to right in that order with
PREVIOUS on the left and NEXT on the right. For the left-handed
configuration the functions are assigned in the reverse order
with PREVIOUS on the far right and NEXT on the far left. 1.6
Braille Display. If you put your thumbs on the thumb keys and
drop your fingers, they will be positioned on or about the
Braille display. The electronic Braille display comprises either
eighteen or thirty-two identical eight dot cells that can display
any Braille symbol. Each dot of the Braille display is, in fact,
a pin that is controlled electronically. To display a dot the pin
is raised and the pin is lowered when there is no dot. When the
display is off all dots are raised slightly and are somewhat
spongy to touch.

hi Joseph,
in braille display options, I can't find "function of previous
and next thumb keys. the only thing having to do with thumb keys
that I see is whether you want a custom set or the default or the
left handed. I customized them and it shows what each thumb key
does. this is at the end of the list. where should I be looking?
thanks.

Dear Lorie,
Congradulations!
To utilize this feature:
1. From anywhere in KeySoft e.g. Wordprocessor, go to Options
menu (space
with O/Fn+O0 then select Braille display options.
2. Space through the list until you see "funciton of previous and
next
thumb
keys" prompt. The options are:
Sentense or Line: allows you to use your prev and next thumb keys
to move
between sentence and line.
Paragraph or Section: this alows you to use your prev and next
thumb keys
to
move between paragraph/section.
Up and down: this allows you to use your prev and next thumb keys
to move
up
and down (2D mode on some notetakers). This is the default
setting.
4. After you've made your choice, press enter to move on. Then
press
ESC/space with e/z to leave the options.
The above prompt will only appear when you are in Wordprocessor,
Book
Reader, Internet, and other functions where you are presented
with a lot of
text.

Subject: [Braillenote] a thumb key question
hi. I'm the owner of a new braille note M Power and I just joined
this
list.
I have a thumb key question. the manual says that the next and
previous
thumb keys can be set to move up and back by paragraph when
reading a
document. I've seen the letters to use for setting this but I
can't find
the
menu you have to be in to set them. does anybody know? thanks.
