NO pairing is necessary. Your Mountbatten will not be listed in the Bluetooth Settings on your iDevice. 3. Run MBMimic on your iDevice. 4. In MBMimic tap on the Mountbatten tab at the bottom of the screen of your iOS device. The program will be looking for any active Mountbatten in the vicinity. After a list appears, select the unit you want to connect to. A connection screen will show up saying "Connecting to Mountbatten" 5. You should hear the Mountbatten beep several times and after a few seconds, your MBMimic will connect with the brailler. Tap Done and you will be taken to the home screen

Quick and Easy Expanded Core Curriculum is designed for transition students who are visually impaired. The included lessons were chosen to address the most common gaps found within this population and require little time, expertise, or equipment to implement by the educational team and family members. The lessons, categorized by setting, category, needed items, and ECC area addressed, are intentionally designed to be completed in 5-15 minutes. They are not designed to replace a comprehensive program addressing the ECC. This app version is a new format of the current product, made for convenience and portability. Example ECC lessons target the following skills: * Planning a menu * Practicing conversation * Giving and receiving compliments * Labeling cans and frozen foods * Making purchases based on a budget * Expanding career knowledge * Tracking medical history * Spreading condiments * Reading nutrition labels * Properly using smartphones * Learning customer service techniques
