Humanware /Sight Savers /SANCB BrailleNote Classic for Southern Africa program.

With the release of the new Humanware (HW) BrailleNote Apex in Jan 2010, HW launched a trade-in program that allowed users to upgrade models to the new Apex platform.

As it is not in HW’s interest to continue a program of selling second hand BrailleNote Classics (BNC) , they have decided to offer these items, through the South African National Council for the Blind, to individuals in the SADEC region.
 
The BNC’s that have been traded have been refurbished, serviced and come equipped with all accessories and an instruction CD. HW still has a reasonable number of useable spare parts to support the product.

The BNC still has product life and HW and the SA National Council for the Blind feel it is a good opportunity for markets that could never afford the new version of the BN Apex. The SA National Council for the Blind, who is responsible for importing these units, will offer them on a first come first served basis to qualifying individuals. The cost of the unit will range from R3 350 – R4 000, depending on the model available.

The SA National Council will carry a limited guarantee, and will see to the future servicing of these units.

The SA National Council for the Blind will offer end-user training where such training is needed, but this will be at a cost to the individual purchaser.

Please note that these Braille Note Classics are sold with a limited warranty and terms and conditions apply.

Please contact the SA National Council for the Blind’s Resource Centre on +27 12 4523811 to find out more about this exciting offer.
