15. APPENDIX: TREKKER LEGAL NOTICE
1. Welcome
Welcome to Maestro and Trekker, this manual describes both the Maestro (including Maestro with the Trekker option) and Trekker stand-alone systems. The sections that apply uniquely
to one or other system will be notified in the title.
1.1 Introduction to Maestro
Maestro is a standard Personal Digital Assistant, or PDA, made accessible by HumanWare’s Maestro application suite. Maestro allows you to enjoy the ultra-compact size of a real PDA
with essential Windows-compatible applications, including a Calendar, Contacts Manager, Text Note, Vocal Note Taker and Victor Reader Pocket. Maestro allows you to easily transfer
files between your PDA and your PC, to synchronize your Calendar and Contacts. Furthermore, Maestro can also become an enhanced GPS orientation aid by adding the Trekker option.
1.2 Introduction to Trekker
Trekker is the HumanWare's revolutionary orientation aid, which uses the Global Positioning System (GPS), and digital maps to help blind and visually impaired persons find their way in
urban and rural areas. Trekker users can pinpoint exactly where they are, and learn about area attractions. GPS lets users know their location, anywhere in the world where maps are
available, with continually growing precision.
Trekker offers blind and visually impaired persons greater freedom, raising their confidence in their ability to travel near or far, for business or pleasure. It also helps them access and
enjoy the most valuable and interesting opportunities their surroundings have to offer. Trekker helps guide the blind and visually impaired through their environment. It complements
existing aids (white canes and guide dogs). It does not replace them.
Sleek and discreet, Trekker provides information in the most natural way possible and allows users to record both vocal and written notes. A wide variety of maps are available covering
North American and European countries. Maps can be bought online and downloaded on HumanWare's website, or ordered and delivered on CD. User-friendly Trekker employs off-the-
shelf hardware for GPS input. Trekker is fully upgradeable, so it can expand to accommodate new hardware platforms and more detailed geographic information.
Trekker can be purchased as a stand-alone system product or if you are a Maestro user, you can choose the Trekker option to be added to your Maestro applications set.

During the synchronization process, ActiveSync will notify you the actions in progress, including how many files have been transferred.
NOTE: Please make sure to close all applications when running ActiveSync, leave the PDA in its cradle and do not open any applications during this process.
If you delete a Contact, an Appointment, or a file located in the Pocket_PC My Documents folder on your computer, it will be deleted from your PDA at the next synchronization process.
If you delete items from your PDA, they will also be deleted from your PC the next time you synchronize.
If the same item has been modified on both your PC and your PDA, the next time you synchronize, you will get unresolved items in Active Sync.
If this occurs, select the Resolved Items button and press Enter. By default, items on your PC have priority over those on the PDA. Select the Synchronize button to resolve the conflicts.
The modifications you make on your PC will also be made on your PDA.
3.6 Install Maestro or Trekker stand-alone Software

application that was last used.
To scroll through open applications in order to find the one you want, hold down ALT then press and release TAB until you find the desired application. Then release both keys. The
Alt+Tab switch-to ordering is determined by the order in which applications were last used. The ordering does not consider the order in which the applications were originally opened.
4.7 Data Entry Keypad
The keyboard on the PDA contains a complete set of keys needed to navigate, read text, and type in text. To enter text, the keyboard can be used as a Braille keyboard or as a
telephone keyboard.

4.7.1 Braille keyboard
When used as a Braille keyboard, the keys are mapped, going across the rows then down, as follows:
Row 1, column 1: Dot 1
Row 1, column 2: Dot 4
Row 1, column 3: Not assigned
Row 2, column 1: Dot 2
Row 2, column 2: Dot 5
Row 2, column 3: Not assigned
Row 3, column 1: Dot 3
Row 3, column 2: Dot 6
Row 3, column 3: Not assigned
Row 4, column 1: Dot 7
Row 4, column 2: Dot 8
Row 4, column 3: Not assigned
Enter each Braille dot one at a time, then accept the character using one of the Validate keys. For example, to input the letter c, press Braille dot 1, Braille dot 4, then Validate. Pressing
only Validate will enter a space. Note that when using computer Braille, dot 7 is required for capital letters. See the Braille table section at the end of this User’s guide for the complete
character list. The default Braille table used in Maestro is US Braille.
4.7.2 Telephone keyboard
When used as a telephone keypad, the keys are mapped, going across the rows then down, as follows:
Row 1, column 1: 1, at sign, period, question mark, exclamation point, comma, underline, and sign, colon, quote, left parenthesis, right parenthesis, apostrophe, percent, dollar, semi
colon.
Row 1, column 2: 2, A, B, C.
Row 1, column 3: 3, D, E, F.
Row 2, column 1: 4, G, H, I.
Row 2, column 2: 5, J, K, L.
Row 2, column 3: 6, M, N, O.
Row 3, column 1: 7, P, Q, R, S.
Row 3, column 2: 8, T, U; V.
Row 3, column 3: 9, W, X, Y, Z.
Row 4, column 1: Telephone character pick list.
Row 4, column 2: 0, space, plus, dash, slash, equal, greater than, less than.
Row 4, column 3: number sign.
To use the telephone keyboard, all the keys are used much like those on a cellular telephone, where successive presses of a key give different values. Select a value then press Validate
to accept. To enter a capital letter, select a value then press Shift+Validate.
4.7.2.1 Telephone character pick list
