Hello, Yes, with the Braille Pen this is true. If you turn on the pen then unlock the phone it will pair automatically. As for going to help mode. This happens here too. I haven’t found a way of turning off. I can’t remember if pressing the power button to lock the phone enables you to turn off the Pen without going into help. I haven’t used the Pen for a while. But will check a routine if required. But it sounds as if you’ve got it as good as it will get.
