    Using the Name Brander

 As you look at the various files on your unit, you will see a file
with the title bsname.bns. This file is not a standard text file which can be
read, but is, instead, a program which you can run. This program allows you
to brand your name into  your unit, as a way of personalizing it. This
procedure is optional; you do not have to do it. However, there may be
situations where personalizing your notetaker might prove to be benefitial. As
an example, you might be a student in a school where more than one Braille 'n
Speak is used, or you might have a job where you work with other visually
impaired people who use the same notetaker that you use.

	To use this program to brand your name into your unit, point to the
program bsname.bns in the file menu and press x chord. You will be asked for
your name and address. Bear in mind that you only have 39 characters to write
this information. Many customers simply choose to write their name and not
their address for this reason. When you type in your name, do not write using
Grade 2 contractions. Don't use the dot 6 key to indicate a capital letter as
you're used to for your own files. Just type in your name, one letter at a
time.  When using numbers, don't type the number sign and the standard alphabet
as you do in Grade 2 Braille. Just use the Nemeth numbers. With punctuation,
don't use Grade 2 contractions, but instead use computer Braille punctuation
signs, such as the dot 6 for the comma and dots 4-6 for the period. You can use
the backspace command to backspace the information that you've typed, and you
can use c chord to read the information you've typed. When you're through
typing and if you're sure that what you've written is correct, press enter or
e-chord. (Warning: The name brander can only be used once. In other words, once
you type in a name you will be unable to erase it or to change it to something
else, even if you attempt to use the brander again.
 
	After you press e-chord or enter, the unit will beep for about ten
seconds.  Do NOT turn off your unit until the beeping stops.
 	
	To hear the information you've typed, open any file and press p-chord
followed by a th sign (dots 1456.) You will first hear the serial number of
your unit, followed by the name which you entered. As an example, you
could hearsomething like "serial number 0000, owner is John Smith, ok."

     Once you run the name branding program, you may delete the program
     from your unit, as it can only be run once.  The program does not
     have to be in your unit in order for you to hear the serial number
     and the name you wrote.
