In the KeySoft 5.1 Release Notes, there's a section about Resets. Although the beginning of it talks about installing, it explains what each reset does. I'll paste it here, and HTH. Maria
3.3. Reset Procedures. During installation of KeySoft 5.1, you will be instructed in the documentation, or by your BrailleNote, to perform various types of resets. For example, the BrailleNote may instruct: "System Files have been updated. Press Reset". It is important to follow the requested reset instructions, of which there are three possibilities, and these are detailed below. 3.3.1. Press Reset. This means: Press the Reset switch, located in the recess behind the OnstOff Switch. No keyboard keys should be held down while the Reset switch is being pressed. You should hear a beep immediately after pressing the Reset switch, followed by a short chime some 10 to 30 seconds later. After the chime, you should hear the KeySoft sign on message, indicating the software version. Pressing the Reset switch without any keys held down restarts the BrailleNote and if present, loads the KeySoft upgrade installed on the Flash Disk. 3.3.2 Press Reset with dots 1-2-3 (f-d-so). For units with Braille keyboards, this means: Hold down the keys representing dots 1, 2 and 3, and while continuing to hold them down, press the Reset switch. Don't release the keys until the speech restarts. For units with computer style keyboards, this means: Hold down the f, d and s keys, and while continuing to hold them down, press the Reset switch. Don't release the keys until the speech restarts. You should hear a beep immediately after pressing the Reset switch, followed by a short chime some 5 to 20 seconds later. After the chime, you should hear the KeySoft sign on message, indicating the software version. Reset with dots 1-2-3 (f-d-so) forces the BrailleNote to load the version of KeySoft burnt into the ROM. 3.3.3 Press Reset with dots 4-5-6 (j-k-like). For units with Braille keyboards, this means: Hold down the keys representing dots 4, 5 and 6, and while continuing to hold them down, press the Reset switch. Don't release the keys until the speech restarts. For units with computer style keyboards, this means: Hold down the j, k and l keys, and while continuing to hold them down, press the Reset switch. Don't release the keys until the speech restarts. You should hear a beep immediately after pressing the Reset switch, followed by a short chime some 15 to 40 seconds later. After the chime, you should hear the KeySoft sign on message, indicating the software version. Reset with dots 4-5-6 (j-k-like) clears the RAM portion of the KeySoft System Disk and if present, copies any KeySoft component that needs to be installed in the KeySoft System Disk. This reset allows new system files to be installed into the KeySoft System Disk. The Date and Time will require resetting following a Reset with dots 4-5-6 (j-k-like). > ----- Original Message ----- >From: Paul Henrichsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: Braillenote List <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Date: Fri, 26 Mar 2004 15:23:09 -0800 >Subject: Re: [Braillenote] Access Denied >Hi, guys.
