Hello list
I sometimes lock the keyboard when travelling on a bus, because
its almost impossible not to knock the braillenote because of
having Guide Dog Piano tuning toolbag over shoulder and
Braillenote.
But, I always turn thumbkeys off when using the braillenote gps
while walking because it just causes to many problems clothes
will touch the thumbkeys for instance, I will use the thumbkeys
when travelings in a car or on the train because this is a more
controlled environment, ok with thumbkeys off you can't cheque
the display when long street descriptions are given but the
alternative is too irritating.

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

Hi folks,
I would like to report what I think is a bug.
When you lock the keyboard with a 123456, The previous with spacebar
keystroke still works. That is the keystroke that turns offspeech on the
BN BT. I was on a bus and had my keyboard locked, but the speechsome 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 wouldwork while
the keyboard is locked, it actually did. I can reproduce this atwill.
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
I am using GPS v 3.5 on a BN MPower running keysoft 7 build 22.
eloquence for my speech.
Steps to reproduce:two.
1. When running GPS, lock your key board with 123456.
2. Confirm that your keyboard is locked by pressing a key or
3. Try to turn off speech by pressing space with previous on theBT
keyboard.keyboard.
It would be interesting to know if this also happens on a QT
4. Notice that your speech is now turned off and the GPS willnot speak any
of the lookaround info.other
5. Again confirm that the keyboard is locked by pressing some
keystrokes. You will get the keyboard is locked message on yourBraille
display. 6. turn speech on again by pressing space with previous.
Can anyone confirm or not confirm? THANKS! Gian Pedulla GianniP46@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
