Mantis Q40 course

Mantis Q40 Lesson 8

USB Storage and File Transfer

First-time setup and success checks

Lesson goal in plain language: Write a file-transfer verification report.

Prepare before step 1

  1. Open the correct application, website, or device screen and wait for its name to be announced.
  2. Open Mantis Q40 manual and review the matching procedure if any command or term is unfamiliar.
  3. Use only fictional, public, disposable, or instructor-provided practice information. Make a copy before changing an important file.
  4. Read all numbered instructions once before performing them so you know the intended final result.

Commands used or referenced

Insert+T, Insert+Tab, Insert+1

For a plus-sign command, hold the modifier key, press and release the final key, then release the modifier. For a sequence, press and release each key in order. Stop after every command and listen for the result.

Work and verify

  1. Perform one numbered instruction and stop. Identify the active window, focused control, selected item, cell, slide, message, field, or device area before continuing.
  2. Compare the result with the lesson goal. A sound alone is not enough; verify the name, state, value, location, permission, or content.
  3. If the result is wrong, press Escape once to leave an unexpected menu, identify focus again, and use Undo only when the change is safely reversible.
  4. Save or synchronize at natural stopping points. Confirm the filename and location before closing.
  5. Complete the “Before submitting” checklist from top to bottom. Correct missing items before marking the lesson complete.
  6. Close and reopen the practice item, or return to it from the product’s main screen, to prove you can locate and verify the result independently.

Success standard: Explain what each major command did, show the finished result, and recover from one harmless focus or navigation error without another person naming the next key.

Goal

Write a file-transfer verification report.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. Connect approved USB storage using the supported adapter if required.
  2. Open the File Manager and identify device versus USB locations.
  3. Copy one instructor-provided practice file.
  4. Verify the destination before disconnecting.
  5. Use the safe eject or documented disconnect process.
  6. Do not move or delete original files during practice.

JAWS and keyboard tip: Use Insert+T to confirm the window title, Insert+Tab to identify focus, and Insert+1 for Keyboard Help. Commands can vary by software version and device model; use the official manual linked from the course manual when a control differs.
