>> Nichols: Hello. My name is Sharon Nichols. I work with Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired. In this video, I will be showing you the Program Menu, what the available programs are, and how to navigate the menus. The programs have much more in-depth features but for the purposes of this video the descriptions will be brief. With the Braille Sense U2 you can have up to seven programs open at once. When you first turn on the Braille Sense U2 you will be placed where you were when you turned it off. For the purpose of this video I will press ‘F1’ to hear, ‘File Manager’ and this lets me know I am at the top of the Program Menu. To move down the Programs menu, you can press Space dot 4 or the ‘down arrow’ keys. In this video I will be pressing the ‘down arrow’ keys to move down the Program Menu and describe the individual programs. I will now press the down arrow key. [Demo start]
