[Dot Watch
User Tutorial – Basic]
The Dot Watch Tutorial is available to
assist the first time users to locate the braille cells, and to make it easy to
understand how the "Select / Home Buttons", the "Dot Crown"
and the "Touch Sensors" work.
Once the Dot Watch is paired with your
smartphone, the tutorial begins, starting with “Checking the Braille Cells of
the Dot Watch”.
1) Checking the Display
Check the position and the height of the
braille cells. Press the “Raise the Pins” and “Drop the Pins” buttons on your
Dot Watch App to raise and lower the braille cells on the Dot Watch Screen.
When you have finished checking the braille cells, press “Next” to learn how to
use the buttons.
2) Using the Buttons
Go through the guide carefully to learn the
functions of the “Select Button”, and the “Home Button”. Each time you press
the “Select Button”, you will notice the display changes from the current time
(hour and minutes) to the seconds, and to the current date. Press “Next” to
move to learn how to use the “Dot Crown”.
3) Using the Dot Crown
Each time you turn the “Dot Crown” up or
downwards, you will notice the braille display changes with vibration to
notify. Press “Next” to learn how to use the “Touch Sensors”.
4) Using the Touch Sensors
Try reading the numbers displayed on the
screen, while navigating between the numbers using the “Touch Sensors”. Press
the right “Touch Sensor” to see the next contents of the message, and the left
“Touch Sensor” to see the previous contents. Press “Next” to start using the
Dot Watch.
NOTE
-
Pressing
the left “Touch Sensor” at the beginning of the message, or pressing the right
“Touch Sensor” at the end of the message will produce vibration to notify that
it is either the beginning or the end of the message.
-
The
“Touch Sensors” are programmed not to work while the pins are still in the
movement; therefore, pressing the “Touch Sensors” repetitively while the pins
are still moving may cause the sensors not to fully respond. In this case, give
it about one second, and scroll with the “Touch Sensors” again.
[Dot Watch
User Tutorial – Advanced]
The
Auto-Scroll is the feature that allows the braille display to be automatically
refreshed without having to use the “Touch Sensors”. This feature is
recommended for advanced users who are familiar with using the Dot Watch.
Customize the settings to create your own, distinctive Dot Watch Experience.
1)
Auto-Scroll
Speed
Set the movement speed of auto-scrolled
cells
2)
Number of Cell(s)
Scrolled
Set the number of cell(s) automatically
refreshed at a time
Select “1” to move and refresh the braille
per 1 cell.
Select “4” to move and refresh the braille
per 4 cells.
3)
Refresh
Rate
Set the refresh rate of pin display output
This is a
function that readjust the braille output that has not correctly displayed. If
set to 0, the braille display receives one signal to raise or drop the pin.
Likewise, setting it to 1 or 2 will receive additional one or two more signals
to raise or drop the pin.
* Increasing
the “Number of Pin Repetitions” may consume more battery.
Lastly,
press the “Confirm” button located on the bottom right to save and apply the
changes.
