Hi Peggy,
I have had my Apex for 2 weeks now and have never turned my
wireless off. You never hear the words "network card ready"
anymore since it is built in to the Apex. The only issues I have
had are when I use my bluetooth headset. I find that I have to
reconnect to my home wireless more often. If I don't use the
bluetooth headset I never have to reconnect. Setting up your
wireless connection is the same as with your mpower. Same for
your email too. Very simple I have found.
Before I got my Apex I saved my address book and favorites on a
flash drive and then copied them to my Apex. No problems with
that.
Good luck and let me know if I can help you once you get your
machine!
Marsha

Subject: [Braillenote] Preparing for Apex: Wireless Connections
Hi, all. My Apex will be arriving Monday, and I'd like to hear
from those
of you who already have Apexes (or is it Apeces? <lol>) about
connections
and turning on and off wireless, etc. I know therewas one person
who had
connection issues; not sure if there have been others. I'd like
to try not
to break my Apex on the first day I get it, so would appreciate
any advice
those who have it about do's and don'ts for the Apex.
With my mPower, I'd put in the wireless card, then go to options,
connections, wireless, yes, then reconnect to an existing
configuration (my
home network). If I was visiting a website, after visiting it,
I'd do
options, connections, wireless, no, while back at the main menu.
If I was
downloading e-mail, once I got my messages downloaded, while
still in
Keymail, I'd do options, connections, wireless, no, while in the
inbox.
Does this sound like it should work with the Apex? Should I go
to the main
menu before turning off wireless, or just make sure I turn off
wireless
before turning off the unit? Or does the order make a
difference? Is
wireless off by default?
I'm just a bit nervous at some of the issues some people have
had, and want
to do things in a way that will make my Apex a happy Apex. I've
been
without my personal BrailleNote for two months, and I don't want
to have to
go through this any time soon again. <grin
So can you Apex owners share whatever words of wisdom you have
about your
units for those of us who are about to embark on the Great Apex
Adventure?
<grin
Peggy <who can hardly wait until Monday!
