In Stand-Alone mode, the Orbit Reader 20 displays the content of files stored on
an SD card. It does not do any translation or interpretation.
The Orbit Reader 20 is designed to be a stand-alone reader. Placing BRF, BRL,

on-the-go braille book reader. When first powered on, the Orbit Reader 20
displays the contents of the first file on the SD card. To get to the file list, press
Dot 7. Go to the desired file using up or down arrow key. Press Dot 8 or Select
to open the file. Use Left and Right Panning keys to read it. There are many
other functions in reading mode such as Find, Power Move, Bookmarks, and
even a menu to set preferences. The following sections describe commands and
settings that can be used while reading.
When you turn the device on, Orbit Reader 20 resumes from the last place of the
last file in use. For first-time use, it displays the first file or folder on the SD card.
Press Dot 7 to close the file and display File Manager, which shows a list of files
on the SD card. If there is no SD card inserted, the message "-- No SD card" is
displayed.
When you reach the end of a file, "-- End of file" is displayed by the Reader.
