14. MSN messenger
Le programme MSN Messenger du Braille Sense PLUS AZERTY est très semblable dans son fonctionnement à celui fonctionnant sur un PC. En effet la structure et les fonctions ont été conçues de telle façon que vous puissiez communiquer avec n"importe quel utilisateur du MSN Messenger sous Windows. Pour cela vous devez au préalable avoir un compte MSN valide.
De PLUS, avant l'utilisation vous devez vous assurer qu"une liaison avec le réseau internet est active dans le Braille Sense PLUS AZERTY: par exemple le réseau Wifi ou autre. Pour cela référez vous au chapitres 3.29 et 16.10 dans ce manuel.
Pour démarer MSN Messenger, allez dans le menu puis sélectionner avec "Touche Flèche Basse" , “MSN Messenger,” et tapez "Entrée" ou utilisez la touche d"appel "n". 

14.1 Démarrage avec MSN Messenger
Au lancement du programme, la boite de dialogue de "log-in " est affichée:

1. Le premier champ de saisie est celui de l'adresse Email de votre compte MSN. La saisie doit se faire en Braille informatique.
2. Tapez "Tab" afin d"aller au champ de saisie du mot de passe.
3. Tapez "Tab" pour aller à la case à cocher " se souvenir de moi ". par défaut cette case est décochée. "Espace" permet de la cocher et ainsi la prochaine fois que vous lancerez MSN, l'adresse Email sera déjà remplie.
4. Tapez "Tab" pour aller sur la case à cocher " sauver le mot de passe ". Par défaut la case est décochée. Un appui sur "Espace" coche la case et lors de la prochaine connexion, votre mot de passe sera automatiquement rempli. Note: vous devez au préalable avoir cochée " se souvenir de moi ". 
5. De nouveau "Tab" pour aller sur le bouton " confirmer ". Après confirmation, la liste des contacts s"affiche.
Pour annuler le log-in, valider " annuler " après un dernier "Tab". Vous pouvez également tapez "Alt-F4" pour quitter MSN messenger.

Isi vous avez coché les cases " se souvenir de moi " et " sauvegarder mot de passe ", lors de votre prochain log-in, un simple "Entrée" lors de l'affichage de " l"adresse e-mail " vous fera rentrer dans MSN.
Quand le Braille Sense PLUS AZERTY n"est pas connecté à internet et que vous essayé de vous loguer, le Braille Sense PLUS AZERTY annonce " Échec connexion, vérifiez paramétrages internet ".
