Focus 40 Blue JAWS Driver

Download the file below to add support for the Focus 40 Blue to versions of JAWS prior to version 11. If you are using JAWS 11 or later, there is no need to download this file.

Do the following to download and install the JAWS Focus 40 Blue driver:

Note: Disconnect the Focus display from your computer before performing the following steps. Having the display connected during this process results in improper installation and failure of the display to operate properly.

Ensure that JAWS is currently installed on your computer. You only need to install this driver if you are running a version of JAWS prior to 11.
Select the appropriate FTP or HTTP download links that appear at the end of this procedure.
When the dialog box opens, choose Save and select a location where you can easily find the FSBrlDriverSetupPackage.exe file after it downloads. You might choose to save it on the Desktop, which is the Windows default.
Locate the driver setup package file and run it. You will hear a series of clicks as the driver is installed.
When the installation completes, choose the OK button to restart your computer.
After the computer restarts and JAWS loads, establish a USB connection between the Focus and computer. Windows will detect the display and install the appropriate drivers.

Note: Windows XP will display a Found New Hardware Wizard, prompting you to locate the driver. Choose the option to automatically install the software then select Finish to complete the installation.
Quit and then restart JAWS. Your Focus 40 Blue braille display operates properly.

Note: If your corporate firewall prevents you from downloading files using FTP (File Transfer Protocol), use the HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) links instead.

Focus 40 Blue Talks Driver

Download the file below if you are using the Talks screen reader from Nuance on a Symbian 60 or 80 3rd edition cell phone and you would like to use the Focus 40 Blue as a braille display to access your phone. You must be running Talks version 4.0 or later in order to use the Focus 40 Blue.

To add support for the Focus 40 Blue in Talks, do the following:

Make sure Talks 4.0 or later is installed and running on your phone.
Establish a connection between your phone and a computer running the Nokia PC Suite software.
Select the appropriate FTP or HTTP download links that appear at the end of this procedure.
When the dialog box opens, choose Save and select a location where you can easily find the Focus-Talks.zip file after it downloads. You might choose to save it on the Desktop, which is the Windows default.
Extract the contents of the Focus-Talks.zip file to a folder on your computer then locate the Focus.SIS file and run it. Choose OK when asked if you are sure you want to install the application to your phone. The remainder of the installation is now performed from the phone.
Follow the prompts on your phone to complete the installation. Press the Left Soft key to move to the next screen. If you have a mmemory card inserted, you are asked if you want to install to your phone's main memory or the card. Select the option to install to main memory.
Once the Focus driver is installed, you must establish a Bluetooth® partnership between the display and the phone. Refer to the documentation that came with your phone for instructions on pairing with other Bluetooth devices. When prompted to enter a passkey to complete the bonding process, type 0000 on the phone keypad. Once the driver is installed and the Bluetooth partnership is established, Talks immediatly begins communicating with your Focus. If the Focus does not immediately begin working with Talks after the driver is installed, open the Talks user interface, navigate to the Braille window, and make sure the Focus is toggled to Active.
