This was just discussed in detail during the last installment of FS’s 
monthly podcast.  I don’t own one of these displays but I do see this as 
a very nice convenience if you use both a Windows/Mac computer as well 
as an iOS device.
Freedom Scientific Announces Power 1 2 3!
(St. Petersburg, Florida – May 28, 2014) – Freedom Scientific introduces 
Power 1 2 3 for its Focus 14, 40, and 80 Blue braille displays. This new 
feature allows you to quickly and easily switch between an active USB 
connection with a computer and a Bluetooth connection to a smartphone, 
tablet, or another computer running JAWS.
“This is an awesome feature!” says Ron Miller, Blindness Hardware 
Product Manager.  “I can be working on a Microsoft Word project, or 
other task, using my Focus Blue braille display connected to my PC 
through its USB port, and by pressing DOTS 1-2-3, quickly switch to my 
iPhone to send or respond to a text message, refer to info I have on my 
phone, or even read the caller ID before I answer an incoming call.”
Power 1 2 3 is available in the latest Focus Blue firmware update. For 
more details and instructions to download and install this feature on 
your Focus 14, 40, or 80 Blue braille display, visit the Focus Blue 
Firmware Update Web page.
(This update is not intended for use on the Classic Focus 40 Blue 
braille display.)
