Actually, although I still have a problem, if you do just the opposite of what VO says to do, you can get the dots reversed the way you would on a Perkins brailler. For instance, it says to do the right hand first. If you do the left hand first, it seems to put the dots in the right place. However, I heard VO say dots calibrated, and I got dots in weird places and they seem to be misorganized.
