Thank you very much, Eileen. Your latest missive arrived about five minutes after I got it to work. As I indicated to Sarai, I now need to learn how to make the display work seamlessly with the iPhone while reading Kindle and iBook books. Actually, I am hoping that the BN also works in Voice D

Hi Mike, I'll try this again because I checked what you meant by my message being cut off. 1. The iPhone needs to be off totally: The sequence is to turn on the Apex first, set it in terminal mode and make sure that bluetooth is turned on by pressing the letter B. 2. Now, open the iPbone: Go

Hi. Powering down the iPhone and doing a hardware reset on the Apex was the ticket. Thank you very much for your input. Do you know where I can find a list of BrailleNote keyboard commands to invoke the VO commands from the BN qwerty keyboard. At least, is there a command that can be invoked s

Yes, restart your phone. Whenever you see that "could not load driver" message, that's the thing that seems to help. Your report is very odd, since has always been the pin for doing this (I don't doubt you, I just can't figure out why that would happen). You might want to go to Settings > B

Hi Sarai, Your suggestion did not work for me. When I typed , I was unable to pair the devices. Then, for some reason, I tried entering and actually got further. After a pause of about ten seconds or so, the iPhone said: “Connection unsuccessful. Could not load driver for APEX001890

Hi Mike: You need to go to Bluetooth, not hotspot to use Apex as display. Turn on Bluetooth on both devices. On Apex, go to terminal, press b for Bluetooth, then enter. on phone, go to VO then Braille. When you see the apex under devices, double tap it. Type in on the phone . > On Jan 21, 20

Hotspot is in Settings > Cellular, but it has nothing to do with braille displays. Perhaps the rep thought you were trying to get the apex online through the iPhone? In that case, yes, you'd need to enable the Hotspot feature and then connect the Apex to the iPhone's wifi network. If that's not

Hi. I recently had my BrailleNote Apex repaired and I have been unsuccessful at getting it to communicate with my iPhone 4S. A Humanware distributor said that in order for pairing to work, I’d have to turn on the Hot Spot function in my iPhone 4S. I have gone into Settings, but I have thus fa
