        "content": "Here\u2019s how to set **one specific braille display** as the default in JAWS, so that each time JAWS starts it will automatically use that display. The exact steps depend a bit on your hardware model and how the display is connected (USB, Bluetooth, etc.), but this general procedure works for most common Display + JAWS setups.\n\n---\n\n## Steps to Make a Braille Display the Default in JAWS\n\n1. **Open JAWS and enter the Options Menu**  \n   With JAWS running, press **ALT + O**. This opens the Options menu. ([srt.csb-cde.ca.gov](https://srt.csb-cde.ca.gov/jaws/jaws-braille.html?utm_source=openai))\n\n2. **Select \u201cBraille\u201d**  \n   Arrow down to find **Braille**, then press ENTER. This opens the *Braille Basic Settings* dialog. ([srt.csb-cde.ca.gov](https://srt.csb-cde.ca.gov/jaws/jaws-braille.html?utm_source=openai))\n\n3. **Add the Braille Display (if not already added)**  \n   If your display isn\u2019t set up yet, in the *Braille Basic Settings* dialog:  \n   - Press TAB to find **Add Braille Display**.  \n   - Press ENTER.  \n   - Choose your display model from the list, and if needed choose how it connects (USB, Bluetooth, or the COM port for Bluetooth).  \n   - Finish setting it up. ([srt.csb-cde.ca.gov](https://srt.csb-cde.ca.gov/jaws/jaws-braille.html?utm_source=openai))\n\n4. **Select the Default Display**  \n   In the *Braille Basic Settings* dialog\u2019s first list, you will see a list of all installed braille displays.  \n   - Use the arrow keys to select the display you want to be the default.  \n   - Under that list, there should be wording like \u201cDefault Braille Display\u201d or \u201cPrimary device.\u201d Choose your display as primary. ([papenmeier.de](https://www.papenmeier.de/files/PM_files/rehatechnik/service/handbuecher/en/doc/BRAILLEX_Live_Liveplus_Manual_1_21_engl.pdf?utm_source=openai))\n\n5. **Modify Connection Port (if applicable)**  \n   If your display uses Bluetooth, make sure the correct COM port is set:  \n   - After selecting your desired display, choose \u201cModify Settings.\u201d  \n   - Select the connection type (e.g. Bluetooth, USB) and verify the COM port if needed. ([srt.csb-cde.ca.gov](https://srt.csb-cde.ca.gov/jaws/jaws-braille.html?utm_source=openai))\n\n6. **Save and Apply the Changes**  \n   - Once you've selected your display as default, click **Finish** (or OK) to close dialog boxes.  \n   - JAWS may prompt you to restart. Do restart it so the default display change takes effect. ([srt.csb-cde.ca.gov](https://srt.csb-cde.ca.gov/jaws/jaws-braille.html?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## Example Using a Focus Blue Display\n\nIf your display is a Focus Blue model, here\u2019s a concrete walk-through:\n\n- Press **INSERT + J** to open the JAWS main window.  \n- Press **ALT + O**, then arrow down to **Options > Braille\u2026** to open Braille\u2019s basic settings.  \n- Tab to **Add Braille Display**, ENTER.  \n- In the list, select \u201cFocus\u201d (or your specific Focus model), press SPACE to check it, then press Next.  \n- For output port, choose Bluetooth (if using Bluetooth), then Next.  \n- Ensure the Focus display is selected as the default in the \u201cDefault Braille Display\u201d box.  \n- Press Finish, then OK, then exit and restart JAWS. ([support.freedomscientific.com](https://support.freedomscientific.com/Content/Documents/Manuals/Focus/Focus14Blue/Focus14-Blue-Users-Guide.pdf?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you tell me the model of your braille display and how you connect it (USB or Bluetooth), I can give you exact keystrokes for *your* setup."
