Gian, This is normal operation. The dots 123456 command will lock the keyboard from issuing GPS commands. The keyboard command you are addressing are Keysoft commands. If you investigate further you will find that many of the Keysoft commands can be executed with the keyboard locked. Some examples are check time or date, return to main menu, go to the Keysoft options menu turn on/off Braille ect. For many reasons a venders program can not override the Keysoft controlled key commands.

When you lock the keyboard with a 123456, The previous with space bar keystroke still works. That is the keystroke that turns off speech on the BN BT. I was on a bus and had my keyboard locked, but the speech some how got turned off and I almost missed my stop. Thank God the driver remembered to announce it. When I checked if that keystroke actually would work while the keyboard is locked, it actually did. I can reproduce this at will. I must of activated that keystroke by mistake. I had headphones on and the BN's cover on, so I must of pressed the previous thumb key and the space bar together some how. I am using GPS v 3.5 on a BN MPower running keysoft 7 build 22. I am using eloquence for my speech. Steps to reproduce: 1. When running GPS, lock your key board with 123456. 2. Confirm that your keyboard is locked by pressing a key or two. 3. Try to turn off speech by pressing space with previous on the BT keyboard. It would be interesting to know if this also happens on a QT keyboard. 4. Notice that your speech is now turned off and the GPS will not speak any of the lookaround info. 5. Again confirm that the keyboard is locked by pressing some other keystrokes. You will get the keyboard is locked message on your Braille display. 6. turn speech on again by pressing space with previous. Can anyone confirm or not confirm? THANKS!
