The Braille Lite M20-M40 User's Manual - Freedom Scientific

Creating a File
To create a new file:
• Type O-CHORD, F, (DOTS 1-3-5 CHORD, DOTS
1-2-4) you will hear, "Enter file command.”
• Type C (DOTS 1-4) for create, you will be
prompted for the name of the file. Type the
name and then press E-CHORD. (DOTS 1-5
CHORD)
• Braille Lite says, “Name of File” is open.
Note: Braille Lite filenames can be a
maximum of 20 characters, however,
if you are using a DOS based transfer
utility or an external disk drive to
move files to a PC or send them via email,
it is recommended that you use
the MS-DOS 8.3 digit format.
Saving Files
If you name a file with a .brl, .bfm, or
.brf extension, the Braille Lite will turn
on Grade 2 Braille automatically.
Braille Lite M20/40 automatically saves the text
in your file whether you open another file or turn
off the Braille Lite. If you have a file open and
you turn off your Braille Lite, the next time you
start your notetaker it opens and announces the
file you were last in.
