11.5 Handling the Active Braille
The Active Braille's Braille modules utilize the highly reliable and maintenance-free piezo
technology. If handled properly, you will enjoy many years of trouble-free operation.
Always operate your Active Braille at normal room temperature and protect it from
humidity. Avoid exposing the Active Braille to extreme changes in temperature.
Always transport your Active Braille in the included carrying case, which provides impact
protection.
Do not drop your Active Braille, and avoid exposing the device to strong vibrations.
Your Active Braille will be the better for it if you take care to operate it with clean hands,
because otherwise the tactile pins can become sticky and may release only if prodded.
Please ensure that no fluids enter into the Braille display. The Braille elements are
especially sensitive to humidity, because humidity could destroy the high-voltage piezo
elements.
We recommend covering the Braille display whenever it is turned off, to prevent
unnecessary contamination with dust.
Clean your Active Braille with a damp cloth. Do not use any cleaners. The Braille elements
must be cleaned with a dry, lintfree cloth only.
The Braille elements should be cleaned and serviced thoroughly every two years in
average operating conditions. In general, during servicing of the Braille elements, all tactile
pins and key heads will be replaced and all input elements checked. An endurance test will
then be performed. We can provide you with a replacement device during the maintenance
period.
11.6 Warranty
If you open the Active Braille housing, which is sealed, within the warranty period, the
warranty becomes void. The same applies to improper handling or use.
In the unlikely event that your Active Braille does become defective, our repair service will
be available for repairs.
11.7 Technical Support
Your Active Braille is a highly complex product. Although the Active Braille has been
optimized to be as easy to use and as self-explanatory as possible, errors in
understanding or operation, which may impede your use of the device, may occur.
We therefore recommend that you consult this manual first if you encounter difficulties. All
procedures as well as error messages are described here. If this does not solve your
problem, you have the option of reviewing possible solutions in the download area on
