Hi Joseph How, or where do you name the Apex and the last 6 digits? Peter ----- Original Message ----- From: Joseph Lee <[email protected] To: "randi shelton" <[email protected]>, [email protected], [email protected] Date sent: Thu, 10 Nov 2011 19:02:36 -0800 Subject: Re: [Braillenote] Re: using Apex and unpairing Hi, For that, be sure to check the name given to the Apex. In order for iOS to find it, you need to name your Apex as "apexnnnnnn" (without quotes) where "n" represents last six digits of the serial number. For instance, if the serial number is 123456, then the name for the Apex should be "apex123456" otherwise iPod would not find it. For best practice, it is recommended that, when you pair it for the first time, locate the pair button. Once you locate the pair button, try pairing both on the second try (type 0000 quickly, then tap pair button, if I got Alex's description right). I'll write a text version of Alex's tutorial by next week (if my schedule permits) unless HW has specific instructions on their site.

Then the phone stops looking for the apex... The searching button is "dimmed" and iphone says it's "in progress." ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alex Hall" <[email protected] To: "peter greco" <[email protected] Cc: <[email protected] Sent: Thursday, November 10, 2011 9:43 PM Subject: [Braillenote] Re: using Apex and unpairing Yes. Technically, pairing is never lost, it is just that the apex is not in terminal mode. This is made clear when you go to type something on the iPod and no keyboard appears, because the iPod still thinks the terminal is active. Deactivating it involves turning off bluetooth on one device or the other or, and far easier, just locking then unlocking the iTouch with the apex not in terminal mode. If no terminal is found when the iTouch first searches, it won't pair.

I have only had to re-pair a few times in the nearly 12 months I have had my iPod, and much of that was due to iOS updates. However, after updating to iOS 5.0.1 just now, I had no problems, so even that occasional inconvenience seems to have gone. Mostly, I enter terminal mode and then unlock my iPod, and it is ready to go. The iPod only searches for displays when it is unlocked, not all the time, so you have to have the apex ready before using the iPod. Once that is done, though, you can do anything you want on the apex and re-enter terminal mode when you want to keep using the iPod (or iPhone or iPad).

That doesn't happen often, but if it does, you may have to pair your devices again. -- Rick ----- Original Message ----- From: "randi shelton" <[email protected] To: "Alex Hall" <[email protected] Cc: <[email protected] Sent: Thursday, November 10, 2011 3:27 PM Subject: Re: [Braillenote] pairing apex with iphone 4s I just tried again...

If you ever want to try again, let me know. The process isn't too hard, you just have to be quick with the pairing code and, possibly, restart the phone.

If it is terminal functionality you're after, look at this page: http://www.humanware.com/en-usa/support/braillenote_apex/braillen ote_apex_as_a_braille_display There is no need to change the name if you want to use the apex as a terminal.

I saw a post recently from someone who said she had to change the name of the phone because of some special character. Is this something that needs to be done just if you get a new phone, or is it something I need to do too for my first one? Thanks for your help. Any other suggestions/hints are appreciated.
