Bookshare Hotfix for Keysoft 9.1

This fixes the problem with downloading material from the Bookshare website.

Installation procedure using removable memory:

To install this fix on the BrailleNote Apex you will need an SD card.

To prepare the installation SD card, follow the instructions below:

1.      Download the installation package file to the root directory of your SD card.  It does not matter if there are other files and folders present.

Once the installation SD card is ready, please follow this procedure:

1.      Connect your BrailleNote Apex device to a power outlet. Neglecting to do so may cause device memory corruption.

2.      Make sure the BrailleNote Apex is powered on.

3.      Verify that there is no SD card in the BrailleNote's SD card slot and that the USB drives are not being used.

4.      Insert the installation SD card. The BrailleNote Apex will confirm that an SD card was inserted. You will be asked to perform a soft reset. When the Apex has rebooted, it will ask you if you want to install this software package. Press Y to proceed with installation or N to abort.

5.      Beeps and progress messages will be heard throughout the installation process. This will only take a few short moments.

6.      After the installation, a soft reset may be required for changes to take effect.

7.      You are now ready to use the Bookshare service with KeySoft 9.1.

In case of problems during installation:


If an installation failure message is heard, do not reset the device. Remove the installation SD card and insert it again. If the problem persists, contact technical support.
