Thanks, Richard!boddly, your instructions worked a treat on my iPad iOS 12.2 beta, but when I tried on my iPhone iOS 12.1.3 that did not work and in the process of adjusting the settings on the iPhone, the Orbit Reader became utterly unresponsive: the iPhone declared. It was connected, but no keyboard input was recognised! I tried forget this device, restarting, rebooting, nothing worked - and then somehow, the orbit started being recognised again. Shudder! I think I’ll use it with my iPad instead if I cannot sort the iPhone! Thanks again. Harry
